It’s been 10 months since Logan Paul turned his own world upside down. In January, the 23-year-old vlogger uploaded a YouTube video from Japan’s Aokigahara forest, which showed a stranger’s lifeless body after an apparent suicide. In hindsight, Paul explains to TheHollywoodReporter.com, “My first feeling was just disbelief. I should have felt empathy. I should have been like, ‘Hey, this is wrong. Let’s not do what we’re doing’.”
Paul says he never expected such severe consequences. “I had never had a crisis before, ever. Everything had been a smooth-sailing ride to the top,” he says. Before sharing the Japan video, Paul explains, “I was so used to people liking me. But being hated? I hate it. I hate being hated!”
Instead of starring in outrageous videos, Paul revealed to THR that his new plan is to taper off from the video-sharing site and focus on a podcast he’s preparing to launch in the near future, named Impaulsive — “a play on my last name and my tendencies.”
