After becoming a viral sensation by crashing the Game Awards event, when he stage-bombed Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Game of the Year acceptance, Matan has earned a reputation as “the Bill Clinton Kid”, and frequently ambushes other celebs and leaders around the globe.
He’s ambushed some of the largest stars in streaming, including iShowSpeed and Kai Cenat, and featured in the backdrop of dozens of viral videos since the Game Awards. As a result, many people have compared him to a real-life variation of “Where’s Waldo?” because you never know when he’ll show up.
But who is Matan, and how does he keep infiltrating the lives of so many celebrities?

Who is the Bill Clinton Kid?
Matan Even, despite being obviously well-traveled, is only 15 years old, having been born in 2007. Although he came to prominence after his stunt at the Game Awards, he’s been disrupting events for exposure for much longer.
Even’s first public exposure was in 2019, when he spoke with InfoWars about the Hong Kong protests. He also attended Blizzcon that year, where he disrupted one of the panels in favour of Hong Kong.
Even, who spends a lot of time putting himself into popular moments, also broadcasts on Twitch, where he plays Minecraft and Elden Ring, the game whose creator he stopped at the Game Awards.
Even frequently talks US politics and his personal life during his broadcasts.

How does Matan Even keep finding celebrities?
Many believe Matan Even is a “IRL stream sniper,” which means he observes the streams of leaders and celebs and forecasts where they will be. This has been especially successful in locating IRL broadcasters like Kai Cenat and iShowSpeed.
TikTok is currently the clear leader in social media phenomena. Over the years, the app has produced a slew of viral crazes, including everything from edible ‘butter boards’ to famous dances and more.
Various filters have also taken over the site, including the AI green screen filter, which recently took over the TikTok community. Users could essentially write a sequence of text instructions, and an AI would generate a unique picture based on those words.
Users are now using AI technology to modify their pictures… However, some are concerned that this tendency will have a significant negative impact.
