Netflix's Jake Paul doc trailer hints at father's role in his troubled teenhood
The third season of Netflix's sports documentary series Untold will draw back the curtain on YouTube-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
Aptly titled "Jake Paul the Problem Child," the episode will track how the 26-year-old made the switch from making viral videos to selling out arena-sized showdowns. As you may recall, Paul rose to prominence as a troublemaking teen on Vine, then YouTube, before diverting that energy to boxing.
The trailer promises interviews with the Paul brothers (big bro Logan is also a YouTube-turned-boxer) and Mike Tyson that will push back against skeptics like UFC president Dana White.
The most compelling few seconds recount Paul's upbringing and path to internet prominence, framing it as a reaction to their dad's tight control. "My dad was so tough on us that my brother and [my] imagination began to flare up," he says, referring to their online antics.
Another surprising revelation? Paul considers himself a seashell collector. He contains multitudes.
