Blippi is the YouTube sensation adored by toddlers around the world, but there’s another reason why moms appreciate the character of kids these days.
Actor Clayton Grimm has become TikTok’s most unlikely heartthrob after his hilarious thirst trap videos racked up millions of views on the social media app.
In fact, moms are happy to admit they’re getting hot for the 28-year-old as they share hilarious comments and videos of themselves reacting to his recent posts.
In November, the actor began sharing posts on TikTok encouraging the world to ‘Look Blippi’ using a trending ‘I love your daughter’ sound that originates from an episode of Gilmore Girls.
After declaring love, the character is asked what he has to ‘offer’ his daughter and he answers: ‘Nothing. Just this…’
The audio then switches to Olly Alexander’s track Breathe, at which point the TikTok user shows off silly dance moves.

In November, the actor began sharing posts on TikTok encouraging the world to ‘watch Blippi’ using the trending sound ‘I love your daughter.’
Clayton couldn’t resist joining the trend to show off his various Blippi dance moves, and soon moms began following and sharing their appreciation.
One mother commented: ‘So… now I see Blippi with different eyes… I will watch it more with my daughter.’
Another added: “Mr Blippi are you doing something to us moms here… this is definitely my favorite so far, the outfit just ooooh.”
“The way he uploaded like 10 thirst traps and I’ve seen them all,” a third follower added.
One fan noted: ‘You’ve taken over my TV and now my TikTok.’ You’re doing something right.’
Another joked: ‘It’s 6am and I’m watching Blippi’s thirst traps? What’s happening?’
‘Why is my TikTok nothing more than Blippi’s thirst traps? It doesn’t bother me as much anymore when my son asks me to watch Blippi,” said another mother.
In the weeks following his first post, the YouTube star shared 19 clips of himself dancing in various locations, including a recording studio and a golf course.

The TV star’s comments have been flooded with reactions from moms (and Child Free followers) who can’t get enough of her content.
Clayton then took it a step further by jumping into another trending sound, a snippet of Wham’s hit single Last Christmas.
The content creator can be seen sizzling on camera as he mimes the track.
And if there was any confusion about who she was targeting with her content, she added in the caption: ‘#blippi #momsover30 #lastchristmas.’
One fan commented: “The over 30 mom label will always feel like an attack, but it’s so apt.”
Another joked: “My kids are 17 and 15. I’ve never seen Blippi, but I’ve seen a lot of Claytons!”
‘My 14 year old son this morning, mom, stop seeing Blippi like that!! “Yo, he comes on my fyp. I can’t help but watch,” one fan added.
Another wrote: “Every time my son hears this or the “I love your daughter” sound on my phone he screams “IT’S BLIPPI!”
Clayton is a proud alumnus of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and has appeared internationally as The Flash in DC’s Justice League theatrical tour.


Many have been happy to admit that they are getting hot for the 28-year-old as they share funny videos of themselves reacting to his recent posts.



If there was any confusion about who Clayton is targeting with her content, she’s been adding the hashtag #momsover30, much to fans’ amusement.
In February 2024, he married his long-time partner, Bella Grimm, who fans now affectionately refer to as Mrs. Blippi.
Blippi is an energetic character known for his signature blue and orange suit and his entertaining and educational videos.
The character helps teach children colors and letters in videos that are available on YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max and Amazon Prime.
Fans were also able to see Blippi on tour in Blippi the Musical and listen to her Blippi music on Spotify.
Blippi was created by Stevin John in 2014 when he saw a lack of quality children’s content on new media platforms such as YouTube.
Stevin originally hired Clayton in 2019 to play Blippi in the live show Blippi the Musical and again in 2020 to make Blippi videos and digital content together.
