Logan Paul Addresses Old Social Media Videos, Predicts ‘There’ll Be Consequences Some Day’ (Exclusive)

Logan Paul is reflecting on his past.

The content creator, who now doubles as a professional wrestler, spoke with PEOPLE exclusively on the red carpet at the N.Y.C. premiere of Paul American about his early videos shared on YouTube and the now-defunct Vine.

"I can't believe how far we've come, and I don't say that to stroke my ego," Logan, 29, tells PEOPLE exclusively at the Times Square-held event on Wednesday, March 26. "It's just crazy because we've been shooting stuff forever."

Logan attended the premiere with his brother, Jake Paul, 28, with whom he rose to Internet stardom alongside in the early 2010s. The brothers created content together that was primarily comedy-based, garnering millions of views upon upload and skyrocketing the siblings to stardom.

While Paul American's plot largely centers on Jake and Logan's modern-day life — highlighting their respective careers in pro boxing and WWE, in addition to their romantic relationships and fatherhood — the Max original reality series also pulls from their expansive vault of archival content.

"It's cool to see the footage from our childhood actually be used to tell a story," Logan nostalgically shares of the videos he filmed, many dating back to his teenage days.

The early videos the Paul brothers posted were popular for their entertaining nature, many of which included shock-value vlogs filled with Internet-popular challenges and collabs with fellow viral creators of the day.

Some videos were infamously controversial, too, and faced backlash from viewers and fans over the years in response to some of their content. Among the most notorious was uploaded by Logan in December 2017, which heavily impacted both brothers overnight.

At the time, Logan posted a video that appeared to show the body of a person who allegedly died by suicide in Japan. In February 2018, he addressed the backlash for the first time in an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America.

"It’s not like I’m a bad guy," he said. "I’m a good guy who made a bad decision."

"This has been the hardest time in my life,” he added. “I’ve never been hated by the whole world. It’s been something to definitely overcome. I will think twice about what I post from now on."

Jake described that period as a time in which "everything went downhill for the Paul brothers" in a December 2021 interview with Graham Bensinger. "No one wanted to work with us; every brand that I was affiliated with dropped me," he said.

"My life was pretty much ruined," Jake continued, adding that YouTube had demonetized his account and brands had ended their ties with him, including a multi-million dollar deal with Target that was allegedly set to go through a week later.

Now, when asked by PEOPLE if there's anything that's "off-limits" when filming these days, especially when it seems as though they've shared just about everything online already, Logan had a quick response on the red carpet of the Paul American premiere.

"Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah," he quips without hesitation, before having a second thought. "No. We put too much out there. I'm sure ... there'll be consequences someday," he admits.

Elsewhere in the interview, Logan opened up to PEOPLE about fatherhood and how it's changed him in the wake of welcoming his first child, daughter Esmé, with his fiancée Nina Abdal in September 2024.

"I’m no longer my first priority,” he explains to PEOPLE. "It’s made me less selfish. Prior to Nina, I was No. 1 in my life. Now with Esmé, my daughter, I’ve dropped two rungs down the priority ladder. It’s Esmé, Nina, those are interchangeable – then me."

"So for the first time in my life, I’m not my first concern. I would die for these women," he continues. "I haven’t been able to say that about anyone."

Paul American is currently streaming on Max.
