Brock O'Hurn (born August 19, 1991), is an American model, actor, fitness trainer, and producer. He gained recognition through his Instagram account for popularizing the man bun. He has also founded two companies, O'Hurn Media Inc. and Outlaw Logic Pictures (2021).[citation needed]

Early life

O'Hurn was born in Sacramento, California, the second oldest of cleaning company owner Paige (née Hillenbrand) and Adam Hurn, who separated when he was nine years old.[3] He has four siblings, sisters Aspyn and Carly, and brothers Dagan and Drake.[4] He is of English, Irish, French and German descent. Brock added the O' because he says his family's original name in Ireland was O'Hearn and he wanted to get back to its roots. O'Hurn attended nine different schools in Orange County, Palm Springs, and San Bernardino, California, causing his education to suffer.[3] O'Hurn discovered bodybuilding during his sophomore year in high school after being dissatisfied with his body, weighing at 135 pounds (61 kg) at the time[citation needed].

At the age of 12, he knew he wanted to become an actor. O'Hurn starred in his first play as "Jack" from 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.[4]

There's nothing wrong with them. They're awesome. It's just... That wasn't my dream, you know. That's not my goal. That's not what I was passionate about."[3]

He used to manage a moving company with his brother, when he was 18.[6]

O'Hurn started training clients online in 2015, charging $100 to $150 for a month's worth of programs, which is what he was living on when he moved to Los Angeles.[3]
