From her public heartbreak to her fiercely loyal fans, the Chicken Girls and Bratayley star spills secrets about lifeon-screen, onlineand off.
Imagine running around Disney land, hopping on ride after ride with your besties and your boyf. You’re about to reach out to hold bae’s hand…when your mom whips out her camera and starts vlogging.
Welcome to Annie LeBlanc’s world. The 13-year-old social media star— and one-fourth of the YouTube famous Bratayley family—is used to having most of her moments captured for the world to see. “I don’t think I was ever embarrassed that my mom was filming,” she spills. “It feels normal because a camera has been on me since I was about 4. But, yeah...when I’m with my friends and my mom comes up and puts it so close to my face, I’m not about it.”
And over the past year, the world has watched Annie go from a regular, gymnastics-loving girl to a straight-up star. Not only has she snagged starring roles on two Brat digital network shows (Chicken Girls and A Girl Named Jo in case ya didn’t know), but she’s also had a turn on Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark *and* curated a compilation album, Lollipop, including original music from her and her friends. Oh, and the video of her single “Picture This” hit 1 million views less than 24 hours after it dropped.
And she’s only just begun. With dreams to have her own show on Disney Channel, Annie’s toured with Jacob Sartorius and has racked up millions of followers on social—5.9 million on Instagram (and counting). But even though she shares so much online, there’s a ton more to this talented teen than what’s captured on camera. An entire alphabet’s worth, actually. Consider this your complete guide to all things Annie…
a is for Annie Here’s a little-known fact: Annie is just a nickname. Her given name is actually Julianna Grace LeBlanc. Crazy, right?
