Ethan Shanfeld When Addison Rae began posting videos to TikTok in 2019, she had no intention of becoming a celebrity.“I had a video with my mom that Mariah Carey had ended up liking, and it was very random,” Rae told Variety. “And you know, it kind of put into perspective for me that social media is such a big platform, and anyone can really notice you from it.”Speaking with senior correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister at Variety’s Creators Fest, Rae discussed her rise to internet stardom and venturing into acting with Netflix’s “He’s All That.”“When I got the role, I was crying in the car hysterically and really just excited to show the world more of what I love to do and continue chasing the dreams that I’ve had since I was a little girl.”.
