The 24-year-old appeared on The Iced Coffee House podcast two months ago. On that podcast, MrBeast shed light on many topics related to him and his life as a successful YouTuber. But among those many questions, the interviewer questioned MrBeast if he ever dealt with Impostor Syndrome.
Jimmy Donaldson agreed to go with this problem once in his life. The 24-year-old shared, “I think I did at one point. If I walk into Walmart, like 30 people follow me around, and I’m like, ‘oh.’ The only time I really feel is when we get to make a wish. Because now that we’re really starting to get big.”
“We get those quite a bit. I’m like, well, all the people on the planet, like why me? I tell them to give them their wish back. I’ll send them a video saying ‘hi’ and you know, talking to them or whatever. But don’t waste the f*cking wish on me that makes me feel horrible.”
