Bretman Rock
Bretman Rock Sacayanan Laforga (born July 31, 1998) is an American-Filipino beauty influencer and social media personality based in Honolulu, Hawaii. He rose to fame as a creator on YouTube and Vine after one of his contouring videos went viral in 2015. Rock is known for making makeup tutorials and his humorous views on life. He has starred in his own reality TV show, MTV's Following: Bretman Rock (2021), has featured in several music videos, and in October 2021, was the first openly gay man to appear on the cover of Playboy.
Rock has received multiple awards and honors for his work on social media including a People's Choice award for "Beauty Influencer" and an award for "Breakthrough Social Star" at the 2021 MTV Movie and TV Awards.
Bretman Rock Sacayanan Laforga was born on July 31, 1998, in Sanchez-Mira, Cagayan, Philippines, in an Ilocano family. His mother is Mercedita Sacayanan. His father, Edmund Laforga, was a fan of professional wrestling and named him after Bret Hart and The Rock.
Rock grew up Catholic. He said of his family, "they always knew I was gay" and "[have] always supported me." Rock's fascination with makeup began in the Philippines watching his grandmother put on makeup. Rock's parents divorced when he was a child, after his father's affair with the housekeeper. Rock moved to Hawaii at the age of seven. His family faced financial hardship and he failed a class because he could not afford school supplies. Rock played sports while growing up including baseball, soccer, cross-country, and volleyball. At Campbell High School, he was on the track team.
Rock started as a comedian and meme creator on YouTube and Vine before shifting to vlogs and beauty tutorials. He is also known for his humorous views on life. In 2016, one of Rock's contouring videos went viral. He was inspired by vlogger Talia Joy and makeup artist Patrick Starrr. Also in 2016, he signed a management contract under ABS-CBN's Adober Studios, a creator network on social media owned by the Philippines' largest media conglomerate ABS-CBN Corporation.
His younger sister, Princess Mae, and her daughter, Cleo, and their cousin, Keiffer ("Miss K"), frequently appear in Rock's videos, such as for mukbang. His friend, Larry, and his former editor, Agatha Danglapin, also made several brief appearances in his videos. Though he rarely features other influencers on his channel, Rock has collaborated with James Charles, Bella Poarch, Nikita Dragun, and Chelsea Handler.
In 2017, Time magazine recognized him among the 30 Most Influential Teens. He was also included in Forbes "30 Under 30 Asia – Media, Marketing, & Advertising" list in 2018.
In June 2019, Rock was featured on the Pride Month cover of Gay Times. In September 2019, Rock attended his first New York Fashion Week where he collaborated with stylist Andrew Gelwicks.
