WHAT A TIK
I’m huge on TikTok – I won’t talk to my own family because they’re not famous and I don’t care what people think
A MAN who became huge on TikTok has told how he refuses to talk to his own family - because they are not famous.
Larz, 23, has cut off all ties with his loved ones after accumulating over 400,000 followers and rubbing shoulders with celebrities.

He has blocked his nine siblings on social media and refuses to communicate with them - unless they drastically up their following.
The desperate influencer first made a name for himself in 2020 when he shared a vile video of himself licking a toilet bowl as part of a TikTok challenge.
The 23-year-old also joined in the bizarre trend of licking ice cream from the tubs in supermarkets - and returning them to the freezer.
Days later, Larz was admitted to hospital after contracting Covid while trying to gain some online clout with his wacky behaviour.

He even managed to get the attention of Piers Morgan - who chastised the wannabe and told him it was "karma" for his grim stunts.
The California-based influencer then decided to distance himself from his family while pursuing social media stardom.
Larz told Aussie radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O that he ditched them "so long ago" and it was "embarrassing" that people thought he still spoke to his relatives.
But he consoles himself by conversing with his A-list pals instead - claiming to regularly chat with rapper Cardi B.

The TikToker told the duo: "I talk to Cardi B over Instagram DM. We met on Twitter in 2015 and ever since have talked fluently.
"I'm just more famous than everyone and I won't talk to people who aren't unless they get the same amount of followers as me."
Larz shares swaggering snaps on his Instagram account - posing with supercars, relaxing on luxury holidays and even hugging global superstar Billie Eilish.
He revealed he has blocked his five brothers and four sisters on all his social media channels due to their lack of followers.
Larz said his parents were too busy ";divorcing, fighting and being irrelevant" to care that he has become estranged from the brood.
When warned by Jackie O that he would "regret" his stonyhearted standpoint in the future, the 23-year-old told her he "has [his] own rules".
"It's going to go in one ear and out the other," he added.
A stunned Kyle chimed in: "I love his honesty - you can't knock the bloke for being honest!"
Larz previously sparked controversy with his bold comments during an appearance on Dr Phil in 2020.
He appeared on the show in the wake of his toilet-licking antics with another influencer, Bameron Kall, defending his viral videos.
The influencer told the talk show host: "I don't talk to my family.

"They're irrelevant. None of them has followers. If they got followers or got rich, I'd probably talk to them again."
He went on to brag that he had raked in "lots of money" from paid sponsorship deals thanks to his popular social media accounts.
