DanTDM Opens Up On Fame, Postnatal Depression And Fatherhood | Minutes With |  

Honestly Dan is the most humble of creators, proud to call him my friend much

This man is a national hero. Still have a signed copy of his first book from his live show in Leicester. God bless you Dan

Dan was probably the main reason I was able to learn the english language, I never had lessons or anything like that but watching his videos helped me a lot when I was a child

I absolutely hate the harassment and hate and disrespect people have for people. Famous or not, nobody deserves or should expect to be treated like that or doxed.

The number of hours of free entertainment he has provided our generation with is unreal. Watching this reminds me of why I liked him so much as a kid. Such a humble man and deserves wealth and health

I really appreciate Dan's channel because it was one that I could safely let my little guy watch before he knew what to look out for. So from a mom - thank you DanTDM!

Bro 16 now start watching Dan at 8 till now, honestly he’s so humble he’s still my favourite RU-vidr.

I love the fact that so many people here can say that he basically raised them. As someone who grew up without a father figure in their life Dan felt like a friend who filled that role in. No one RU-vidr has managed to keep me as engaged as he has over the course of many years. Sure I don’t watch him as often as I did at a certain point but I still love checking In and seeing what’s new with him. I’ve never properly fallen off of his content despite me growing older and My taste in RU-vidrs evolving alongside that. That’s a testament to his content skills. Wish him all the very best in his life as a father of two and I hope a day comes when I can tell all of this to him in person cause he really does mean that much to me.

Bruh people need to stop acting like they know youtubers personally. The fact that Dan had to move because people were invading his privacy is downright upsetting.

not all kings wear crowns. sometimes they wear armour. in dan's case, its diamond armour. strong man

Dan was the first RU-vid channel my autistic son watched. He loved minecraft, and when we found Dan it was such a gift. As a mom, thanks for being with my kids for years (eventually my other two also watched his videos), for being a wonderful person, and allowing them to see someone they thought was so cool share a passion that they were developing (gaming which has led to other things like game development and character creation). Two of them have since moved on to other games, but it inspired their creativity and gave them something to look forward to. As my oldest grew up and found your swearing compilations and other channel lol you only became cooler to him

Dan had influenced so many people's childhood, thank you Dan.

I still remember his very first few videos. Especially the one where he pretended he had a twin brother. God bless you Dan. ❤

It's so crazy that Dan is 30 now, he carried my childhood and helped me get through rough times. Thank you, Dan.

Dan was a big foundation of my childhood. I never really watched any of the other people like PopularMMOs and Stampy. This man was my go-to and it feels like I actually know him. Even if he was just making RU-vid videos, it left a huge impact on me. Thank you so much Dan for being a part of my life.

He is simply a legend…. a lot more, nothing less.

Dan is truly amazing. Thank you for being a part of my childhood

This guy was my childhood. I’m glad he’s still around and projecting himself on the new generation, he’s a great entertainer and a genuinely nice person.

"I've slowed down, but I'm not stopping yet", that quote hits hard bro

Dan is one of the few old Minecraft RU-vidrs that still gets loads of views for a reason. Been watching him since the mod showcases, def the GOAT 🐐

I could always trust my son was safe when he was watching your videos Dan. You were a great role model to him from quite a young age. I always thought about how the fame must have been crazy. respect and gratitude from New Zealand 📺🧡

our childhoods would never be the same without this guy, he deserves the world.

It’s crazy to see how much Dan has grown over the years, he literally went from being a teenager that I watched play Minecraft into a man that has children and a wife and a whole family and now he’s become an internet icon that everyone knows and loves

This is my first time hearing about this guy and i absolutely love him already

this guy is genuinely the best, i met him once way back in like 2016 i believe on one of his live shows. we bought meet and greets but the tickets never stated what time it was at so by the time me and my mum got there we had missed the meet and greet and i was devastated. i remember my mum telling me she was going to the toilet before the show started and when she left i started to cry a little only for her to come back and say we had to see a staff member after the show. we got took into a private room with a couple other kids who had missed the meet and greet and after a couple minutes of waiting, dan came into the room, took pictures and signed things for us. he even signed something for my best friend at the time. (my mum had to ask him because i was too starstruck to even talk) but yeah, the dude was amazing.

Hearing about Dan's past about him being shy is pretty relatable for me. Because I'm mostly shy when I'm in a new place where I don't know or trust anyone (as you don't really know anyone). But after some time and I get to know some people that I think I could trust, I would of course be less shy. It's been great watching DanTDM since 2014, it was fun watching all of his Minecraft videos. As he was one of the people that got me into Minecraft. I wish I can go back at least one time, and experience all of this again. As I remember being so excited for more videos from him.

dan is a youtuber that i don't watch often anymore but whenever i see his face or hear his voice i feel drenched in nostalgia. dan was probably the first minecraft youtuber i watched, if not the first (overall). i will always have a special place for him, even if he leaves youtube to do other things i will always remember everything he's done.

I actually learnt English by watching Dan's video Thank you so much Dan

Dan is the only RU-vidr that makes his videos so calming and relaxing, it's so comfortable. He makes everything so much better.

I'd have to say I fell in love with Dan's content when he was a teen doing mod showcases and the diamond dimensions and as a kid I was just like wow... and now being grown up and seeing he's grown up aswell and has two kids now and is still this humble is shocking

Look after yourself Dan, you're a really nice bloke. Good luck with everything moving forward, and enjoy being a dad. All the best

Although I haven’t been watching Dan for the past few years, I still absolutely love him. I looked up to him so much when I was 9-11 and he has helped me through my transition from elementary to middle school. This sounds cheesy but I was having a really hard time and watching his videos helped me

Dan listen, I WILL watch you 10 million videos away from Sunday. Even if you are slowing down, we are still here for you no matter cost

I see Dan as one of my idols. Fr i would watch him as a kid and loved him. To this day i still check back up on him to see how he's doing and it's crazy that he's already 30. He's amazing

Every single comment on here is so positive and warming. What a reflection on how much he’s inspired a whole generation! That’s a REAL achievement!

DanTDM truly is a really special man. As a kid, I would always tune in every day to see his videos and I loved watching him just playing games and talking. It was almost like he was with me. I felt like I could enjoy Minecraft without even playing the game itself, and Dan truly helped me become who I am today, even if I never even had the opportunity to interact with him directly in person. I just think that without Dan, I wouldn't be here. Thank you Dan, for everything.

I love Dan. I was about 9 when I found him back to the mod showcases and the diamond dimensions. I've seen him at his first show back in 2016 and I went on stage because I got picked from the audience to play a mini game and it meant everything to me. Sadly he was in character, but I did tell him that I loved his videos and I still do. I'm going to be 20 next year, and I'm not ready to fully grow into that adulthood.

WOW! What can I say? This was very inspirational and heartwarming to hear Dan’s POV of his life on RU-vid. I felt very sorry for him having to deal with crazy people, which made him feel like he had to move! This definitely makes me think if I have got what it takes to be the next RU-vidr, I’d have to know what I want from it in terms of content related. Tbh me watching Dan whenever I get the chance always relives my nostalgic memories of being at the Insomnia Gaming Festival, watching him onstage at his live shows and meeting him at his book signing tours. Even if I don't always watch his videos, I'm just thankful for being in such an AWESOME community called TeamTDM!

man I feel so old right now, so proud of you Dan.

I'm so happy the he started to open up and say his backstory❤

this man have single-handedly raised me. i remember in 2014, when my sister was born. the day she came home from the hospital i was on the couch watching dan play fnaf 4 😭 i also remember loving dans christmas countdown series!! i looked forward to that every year. me and my friend would always update eachother like "omg dans new christmas countdown is out!!" it was always so exciting. i mostly watched his minecraft videos at first, but then i started just liking watching dan himself play whatever! i would watch him play stuff that i didn't even think i'd be interested in, but when id watch dan play it.. it was so much different. i can actually cry talking about this because dan was a huge part of my childhood. i miss it so much, but i also love talking about it at the same time. i never ever got to meet him, like whether it was at a convention, or a meet and greet, but i always watched the live broadcast & his vlogs about it! i don't watch dan as much now, but i do check in every now and then. i miss watching him everyday after school, and waiting for him to upload. i know dan doesn't know me at all, but he really genuinely means so much to me. growing up autistic & keeping friendships has always been hard for me, but dan was always there. i got bullied a lot in school, for being shy, or not being as smart as the others, but dan always cheered me up. he would make me forget about it all instantly! in 7th grade i still watched dan, but i never told anyone because i would get bullied for it. i never understood why? i still somewhat don't, but i guess it was because his content is aimed towards children, and i was an early teen. anyways.. this is making me cry so i'll stop 😂 i doubt anyone will read this anyway, but i don't care because i love talking about this for some reason. thank you for everything dan, really. you have no idea the impact you've made on me, and millions of others throughout the years ♥️♥️

i love this guy, i met him in 2019. most wholesome guy i’ve ever met. been watching him since 2014-2015. love you dan

Dan is my safe space, I’ve been watching him since I was allowed to use technology. I was unsupervised on the internet from a young age but it’s almost like dan kept me safe. I’m in highschool now, he’s such a comfort for me and I’ve never felt more understood by someone. I went to see him live in 20...18? I think it was and he turned my life around. I love him. I remember being a small child and thinking.. wow he thinks like me. I wanted to be just like him, Though my dreams are different now. He still inspires me to follow my dreams

a lot of dan's OG fans stopped watching dan but the real OGs are the ones who come back here and there

This is why I love Dan he is so humble

This guy is literally 26 million peoples father

this man is my childhood. I feel like hes one of the few youtubers who grew up with me. that's why I still enjoy his content.

Is crazy to see how far Dan has come. From posting the nostalgic mod reviews to having his own kid! I’m very proud of you Dan!

I'm apart of the group up teenagers from watching dan. He's the reason im starting youtube and attempting. He has had an impact on not just my life but everyone elses.

Dan's channel is such a unique case. It can be nostalgic for people who watched it back in like 2013 and for people who watched it in like 2017. Its just crazy how long Dan has kept at it.

I remember watching this guy in 2013 I remember watching him when I was a tiny child mad how far he’s come

This man was the first Minecraft youtuber I've ever watched. I will never forget his hilarious and wholesome adventures, and I always appreciated that, in this new era where we keep seeing controversy and tragedy regarding old famous Minecraft youtubers, Dan has continued to remain upright and walking down the straight-and-narrow. I'm proud of him.

So cool to see him building a family of his own after raising a whole generation. I love to see it.

Not gonna lie, when Dan stops making videos, I will cry every day because, he was with me my entire childhood. I wouldn't know what to do without him or his videos to be honest.

Living legend. He is integral in many people's childhoods.

I always enjoyed watching Dan and seeing him enjoy it. It’s nice to understand him behind the camera and further forth. He will continue to be my inspiration.

I just found this, and i’m glad i did. Dan literally inspired me so much. So i just want to thank you for this video. shows how much dan has changed during the years.

Dan is such an amazing guy and will always be held in a very special place in my heart. Thank You for everything Dan

ive watched dan ever since i was a kid and i still watch his videos from time to time, its amazing seeing how far he's come. even though he doesn't always feel like it, in my opinion, he is probably one of the best content creators out there.

still hard to fathom how long its been since I found Dan he was the first ever youtuber i watched no kidding when i got youtube the first video i clicked was one of his mod showcases its so surreal seeing how many of the things i do today all stemmed from my one choice to click on his video its insane Dan sort of raised me indirectly, expanding my creativity and ways to enjoy and persue interests in life i still remember coming home everyday from school waiting for the new Diamond Dimensions video to be uploaded - it was the best time of the day I'm so glad I found him in year 2 and now I'm in year 13 -10 years of joy and memories

Dan was literally the main reason i got into Minecraft and gaming in general. He was always this charismatic and enthusiastic man who never let us down with a single video. Like watching him before like 15 mil i think even 10 mil this man has been a part of me and i just want the best for him.

I love him sooo much he is in that special place in my heart that no other famous person will ever reach. He saved my life n helped me through loads he probably has no idea how many ppl he’s helped. One day I’ll grow up n be like I’ve been watching him since I was a kid! I’m so happy for his two sons n everything he’s achieved n it really makes me super happy that he’s not planning to stop anytime soon. Bless ur heart Danny x

Dan has been in my childhood, and I loved watching his videos from minecraft, happy wheels, hello neighbor, roblox etc. and for a while I thought the guy wouldn't have a kid but wow. Honestly I am proud of the guy and I wish him the best of luck.

Words cannot describe how much I am grateful to Dan. I learned English, got into games, and made so many new friends. I would always wait for a new video to come out, and when I did, I would watch the whole thing, regardless of the video’s duration. I still watch his videos every now and then, not all the time since I have things to do in real life. His content was the only source of entertainment I would enjoy and I would say that he basically raised me, from child to teenager.

Dan was one of the people I learned my English from cause when I was growing up I used to watch him every day and the English language just stuck to me. I could talk to people outside my country with no problem even before I was 10. I’m so incredibly grateful that he was one of the people who made my childhood amazing in every kind of way.

man, i hadnt seen this man in years ut now it just makes me cry. this guy is the reason im so fluent in my english, humble etc and etc. he probably did more than my real dad ever did, and its not an exaggeration. hes like a huge part of my life. thank you dan, much love from everywhere

This is the man of my childhood, I watched his videos every single day and it brought the biggest bloody smile to my face. I watched him so much my dad got angry at his voice, jokes and all in that. I’ve watched this man since 2012, the first youtuber I guess, that I just absolutely loved. Mr TDM, we’ll always be here for you, God bless you brother.

I've been watching him since 2015, and I honestly can't tell you how much I miss and wish I could go back to that time in RU-vid. I was always waiting for another DanTDM video.

ive been watching dan since atleast 2015-2016. im now 14 and i still watch him. dan was my childhood, dan basically raised me, everything i know about stuff online, games, etc, is all from him, i always watch his videos, i watch one of his videos whenever he releases one, or just when im bored, i watch atleast 1 of his videos a day, and its nice, like knowing you have been watching this creator for almost 8 years, and you still do, and still enjoy them just as much as you did 8 years ago. its amazing.

dan has put so much of his life into youtube and what he does is amazing. juggling between being a parent and being one of the most popular people in the UK

Dan made my childhood so much better, I will be forever greatful for him and his videos. I wish all the best for him and his family!

Dan is a literal legend, he was the first youtuber i was obsessed with when I was really young, i watched him every day since i was like 5 and i even went to one of his australia shows during a tour. Although i dont watch him as much as i used to, i still appreciate how this mans videos has effected me

Holy shiiiiiiiit. My main source of entertainment as a kid. Glad Dan opened up with various darker elements of fame which no one really deserves. Hope Asher, Jemma and Dan all the best ❤

thank you dan for everything you have done for us

This man was my childhood absolute 🐐

Dan was the one of the first RU-vidrs I ever started watching and I’ve been watching him for around 7-8 years now. He has seriously impacted my life and he’s such an awesome dude. Thanks Dan!❤

Dan was and still is basically my #1 youtuber that is watched recommended and etc. I have been watching him since I was 7 years old, to think about it is crazy how I have been watching him for over 9 years now so I am so grateful to him for brightening my childhood and even till now

This video makes me weirdly emotional. I’ve been watching Dan’s videos since I was 6. He helped shape mine and so many other peoples childhood. Honestly it’s crazy to see how time flies. I will forever be grateful for DanTDM

I'm so sorry you had to go through this Dan... You raised me, you raised Millions across the globe, what you have done for the world is amazing, and I cannot thank you enough for what you did and how big of an impact you made on me. It feels like I knew you on a personal level, and if that doesn't show how big of an impact you made on raising us, then I dont know what will. Love ya dude, stay safe Love -Someone You Raised

It's cool getting a separate perspective on things that he wouldn't necessarily share on his channel

Dan I've gone to every concert and have seen all your videos your really kind and honest keep up the content

This is just such a nostalgic reminder of a past time. I'm really glad Dan was a part of my childhood, sometimes wish I could go back and experience it all first hand once again.

the most polite person i ever saw, probably the greatest creator on yt

I haven't watched dan's videos in a while, I just wish I had the time to continue admire dan, but ever since I got older I got distracted and never had the time to watch all his content, despite that he's still without a doubt one of my favorite youtubers because of all the memories he's given to us

Brudda he is the goat for are generation he’s so humble nice and genuine he gave lot of people happiness and TAHNKS DAN FOR MAKING MY CHILDHOOD WAY BETTER

he was one of the first RU-vidrs I watched, my childhood, 2014 was when I started watching him. I’m so proud of him❤

Dan was a big part of my childhood, I loved him so much till this day

Never heard of this guy, but seems really nice and down to earth. Enjoyed this interview as always

As a gaming Mum, Dan's channel was the only one I would let my son watch for years - mainly because he didn't use bad language like some of the other channels...But also because his content was interesting and entertaining. He really is a National Hero in my eyes and as mentioned, his genuine humble personality is heartwarming. I am so pleased he has made a good life for him and his family. All blessings to you Dan.

I used to adore him when I was little! So glad I could grow up watching his content - used to love one of his Minecraft series. Only just started watching this video, but I hope he’s doing well. I’m an adult now, and will be 19 next month. Time flies.

Dan is the best most iconic RU-vidr ever, so humble, never in controversy and brought up a generation with amazing videos

I still remember the days when he made 2 videos a day, used to wake up every morning and watch both of them

Aww I've loved Dan since I first came across his channel and I'm so happy to see how far he's come, love you Dan💎💎💎💙💙

Dan made a lot of our childhoods. he deserves so much respect. never thought i would see him on ladbible but here we are

Met him once in 2015. He was super nice and said he loved my tshirt. It's been years since I watched one of his videos now, but he's come so far.

Dan is the one channel I watched all the time when I was younger

Dan is the longest creator that I have ever watched cause his honest and fun to watch. It’s more fun to watch when his having fun. His community is so kind too and supportive

I can proudly say Dan was a big part of my childhood. He's such a humble guy and I'm glad he is one of the biggest youtubers

when i was much younger, this man was my life, when i was younger he seemed like a big hero/inspiration, now he just seems like a chill cool guy lmao

Same, could always trust that my son was safe online watching DanTDM. 10 years ago travelled 6 trains to Plymouth to see the show and the venue said they had never seen queues like it. Even our Google maps satnav is still called Gemma.
