Charles Joseph "Charlie" McDonnell[1] (born October 1, 1990, also known as charlieissocoollike) is an English teenager and YouTube vlogger from Bath, Somerset.[2]

He first came to prominence when a video entitled "How To Get Featured on Youtube" was featured on YouTube's homepage. Prior to this he had fewer than 150 subscribers, but this number increased dramatically within the next eight months, and as of 25 June, Charlie has 56,513 subscribers. He has since posted a large range of videos on the site, including "How to be English,"[3] and "HAIR!."

In addition to vlogging, he has also been known to play songs and draw comedic sketches.

Since January 2008, he has been a member of "Five Awesome Guys", a YouTube collaboration channel. This was created by McDonnell as a spinoff of "Five Awesome Girls", another YouTube collaboration channel with five different girls posting videos on each of the weekdays. Charlie posts a video every Tuesday on the Five Awesome Guys channel. He is also a member of "Nerdfighters". He has a large fan base with the American teen audience, many of whom are girls. Many of these girls also see Charlie as their favorite member of "Five Awesome Guys".

McDonnell has a younger brother named William McDonnell who has his own YouTube channel, WellWillWill. He also has a younger sister, who has appeared in a few videos on his channel.
