Childhood and Early Years
Simon Lane was born on March 14, 1978, in New York City. Simon Charles Lane is his full name. He was born in England and will turn 43 in 2021. Pisces is his zodiac sign. Lane is an outspoken atheist. He owns a dog named Ollie and several cats. He also has a brother, whose name has not been published. There is no information about his family history.
Simon looks to be an excellent mathematician, probably as a result of his astrophysics studies, as seen by his ability to perform complex calculations fast in multiple videos. Simon’s general knowledge is actually rather impressive. Throughout multiple series, he exhibits his knowledge of Literature, including an excellent understanding of Shakespeare, Film, from the Tap! Heads Up Video, and World History and News.
Professional Life and Career
Simon once joked that his father’s name is Alan during a YoGPoD episode, but this is not a verifiable fact. He also stated that as a child, he aspired to be an astronaut. He was recommended to pursue a career in insurance by a career advisor when he was in high school. During his time at Cardiff University, he failed an astrophysics course.
He was booted out of a radio show while at university after calling the DJ a bastard live on air because he interrupted an Alanis Morissette song. Simon shared a residence with a housemate in the early years of Yogscast. In addition to “Honeydew,” Simon Lane used the online moniker “Alejandew” for a brief period in 2010. This name was inspired by Lady Gaga’s song “Alejandro.”
Simon’s company, Yogscast, is a media production firm and video game publisher situated in Bristol. The channel gained fame as a result of a video relating to the “MMORPG World of Warcraft.” However, it is now linked with sandbox games such as ‘Minecraft,’ ‘Garry’s Mod,’ and ‘Grand Theft Auto,’ among others. YoGPoD, the podcast spin-off of the YouTube series of videos known as Yogscast, is his passion.
His YouTube account has further information.
On July 9, 2008, he and his partner Lewis Brindley began uploading films. Yogscast is a YouTube channel that features comedic and humorous videos, and it made history in the United Kingdom by hitting the 1 billion views milestone in 2012. Simon is the key character of the BlueXephos YouTube channel, whose content appears harmless and light at first glance but, upon deeper inspection, exposes a twist: it’s a touch aggressive with double meanings.
His films are divided into two groups: ‘Simon Sings’ and ‘Simon Plays.’ The ‘Simon Plays’ series consists of straightforward ‘Let’s Play’ videos of numerous computer/console games. These games have a story thread that runs throughout the video and is occasionally narrated by a character.
The series “Simon Sings” is a compilation of musical interludes. Simon imitates a cat being used to clean a rug with his voice. He exhibits his mind in these films. He enjoys Jaffa Cakes, for example, which he has highlighted in numerous films. Lewis helped him create a Jaffa Cake Factory in their Tekkit series because of his love for Jaffa Cakes.
Furthermore, after they hit 1 million subscribers, Lewis shot Simon’s bedroom light with a confetti pistol in another video. Simon states in one of the films that he has a cardboard cutout of ‘Doctor Who’ heroine Amy Pond in his bedroom. He has mentioned his relationship with Amy on several occasions. Simon said that he still had the cutout at the ‘Rezzed 2014 Q&A’ session, however in March 2016, Simon remarked on Twitter that the cutout had to be recycled since a cat had entered his house and urinated on it.
In March 2015, Simon took a hiatus from the Yogscast, explaining his absence in a video. In the video, he explains that his break was caused by unidentified medical difficulties that resulted from an unplanned hospital visit. He was released from the hospital a few weeks later, but there is evidence that he wished to rest. It was necessary to take some time off before getting back to actively working on video content.
In a June Yogscast video, he merely stated that he was improving and that his pals hoped he would recover completely soon. Simon made his first appearance in 6 months in the first episode of Trials Of Skobbels on September 25, when he returned to filming YouTube videos.
Despite his comeback to various programs on the main channel, he had a reduced role in Yogscast projects during his recovery in 2016. In March 2017, he went on another break before returning to the broadcast on June 9th. Simon, on the other hand, has appeared on the main channel less regularly since his last break. He used to show up in about every video on this channel. He’s mostly been seen in the Chilluminati streams, the Game Goblin series, and some GTA V and Trouble in Terrorist Town videos since then.
even more
On episode 23 of The Shaft, Simon and Lewis appeared as guests. He states in YoGPoD 27 that the first game he ever played was “most likely Jet Set Willy or something along those lines.” Simon worked as a security guard at an older people’s home before going full-time on YouTube, according to Lewis during their Rezzed 2014 Q&A panel.
Simon also said that he owned a Blackberry phone as of YoGPoD 27. Simon is seen recording with an iPhone in Turpster’s video about his automobile dying during the Heroes & Generals Challenge. It’s unclear when this transfer took place. Simon now has an iPhone 6, as Martyn previously stated in one of his InTheLittleDream vlogs. However, the iPhone was, in fact, Lewis’ phone, as revealed in Turpster’s video during a chat between Lewis and Simon laughing about the contents of the phone.
Simon had an OkCupid profile and account at one point, as shown in a YoGPoD episode. Simon and Lewis analyzed Simon’s best matches and worst enemies based on the number of questions Simon answered in this scene. No Yognaut has ever discovered this account, therefore it’s safe to presume it was deleted following Simon and Lewis’ meteoric rise to fame. However, it’s possible that Simon met someone through the service and then deleted his account since he no longer needed it.
Personal Experiences
Simon used to be a smoker. In some episodes of YoGPoD, he no longer smokes and instead takes nicotine tablets. He is nearsighted, which means his eyes require different lens strengths. As a result, one eye seems to be larger than the other. Simon is more concerned with his profession than with his personal life. Most of Simon’s supporters, on the other hand, believe he has a wife and a daughter.
On January 8, 2019, Lewis Brindley posted an Instagram photo of himself kissing Simon’s girlfriend. Their admirers began to mistrust their sexuality as a result of this.
Body Dimensions
Simon’s precise height and weight have yet to be revealed to the public. He has a wonderful personality. He has brown eyes and blonde hair. He also hasn’t revealed any of his other physical measurements, such as his chest, waist, and hips, as well as his shoe and garment sizes.
Net Worth and Social Media
When it comes to his social media presence, he is active on a variety of channels. On Twitter, he has over 245K followers under the handle @SimonHoneydew. He’s also on Facebook, where he has over 152K followers. However, he does not appear to be active on Instagram. His YouTube channel, YOGSCAST Lewis & Simon, has almost 7.21 million subscribers.
Without a doubt, he makes a substantial amount of money from his YouTube videos. He could make money from other sources as well, but he hasn’t stated any. His net worth, on the other hand, is reported to be around $1 million.
