JAKARTA - A woman who claims to have the 'biggest mouth in the world' reveals how famous she is on TikTok.
Samantha Ramsdell became a viral sensation because of her big mouth. The 30-year-old medical supplies salesman, from Stamford, Connecticut, garnered 740,000 TikTok followers during the lockdown in Britain.
Initially, he decided to show off his singing and acting skills online. But it was her facial features that caught the eye.
"(My weight) lost more than 50 pounds two years ago and I regained my confidence," Samantha said as quoted from the Daily Star, Wednesday, November 11.
"I started taking singing lessons, then posted videos of me singing on Instagram."
Samantha added: “I fell in love with improvisation and comedy and started posting more and more on social media.
“I started gaining popularity through kuncitara, I would make lots of funny face videos, comedy skits, and singing parodies.
But, he continued, any video involving his mouth and face always goes viral.
"One of my most popular videos is of me responding to someone's comment to me asking if I feel insecure about my mouth."
He responded with a clip that held his mouth wide open and said: "I used to be insecure, but it's part of me, so now I let my big mouth shine in the sun."
In the past, TikToker has said he was not confident because he was labeled a "one trick pony" or a person who only has one talent or special feature.
He added: “I was like 'Hey! I post more than just my mouth, but my mouth gets five times as many views!
“Sometimes it's a little frustrating because I wish I could be known for my singing and comedy videos too, but hey, any press is good press!
However, he believes that the people who make cruel comments to him describe themselves more than the people he judges.
"Obviously, they don't do well emotionally if they have to take the time to write down things that are meaningful to me, so I bless them and move on (what I want)!"
The young woman believes her big mouth is part of what makes her singing voice so extraordinary.
Samantha commented: “I think it makes me a better singer - many amazing singers have big mouths!
"Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger, Fantasia Barrino, Alanis Morrisette ... I also heard Justin Bieber has a big mouth too, so it must be true!"
Samantha was even asked about the size of her mouth in inches, so that home viewers can really understand how big it is.
He added: "You know what's funny, the last time I 'measured' my mouth it looked like 3.5 inches wide and nearly 4 inches high.
"But I had to get a better measuring tape. Think of it as incredible and I'm working on my application to Guinness World Records as we speak.
"Snapchat also posted a big story of how I have the 'Biggest Mouth in the World' so if Snapchat says so, it must be true, right?"
Samantha said she was worried that Covid-19 would kill her career. But it turns out on the contrary, the corona virus made him famous.
“TikTok actually pays their top (content) creators based on how many views and that's around 0.3 cents per 1,000.
"It doesn't sound like much, but some of my top videos have over 50 million views, so if you count that, it's not too bad to eat a subway sandwich in front of the camera!"
That's around £ 11,300 per video!
