Meet Caleb Hearon, comedian & actor starring in 'Devil Wears Prada 2'
Gotta love Caleb Hearon. River Callaway/Variety via Getty Images Caleb Hearon at the grand premiere of HBO Max's Sweethearts. Social media has proved to be a useful tool in helping comedians who rightfully deserve fame an audience. Caleb Hearon made a name for himself in the comedy space before TikTok, but his star rose exponentially after getting exposure online. He started out performing a weekly variety show at The iO Theater in Chicago and later ended up touring a showcase called At What Cost? with his best friend, Holmes, in Los Angeles and New York. He started posting more on X, gaining prominence on there before posting more videos on TikTok. At the same time, he began dipping his toe into the entertainment industry — writing on the Big Mouth spinoff Human Resources and landing roles in movies like Jurassic World: Dominion and Sweethearts on HBO Max with upcoming roles in The Devil Wears Prada 2, Little Brother with John Cena, Eric André, and Ego Nwodim; as well as the Lily Wachowski directed film Trash Woman. He releases his podcast, So True, every Thursday featuring chats with his comedian and actor friends, and shares clips to his TikTok audience of over 951,000 followers. Now, he's gearing up to release his debut standup special on HBO Max later this year.

This includes the Women's Multivitamin 18+, which is clinically backed and formulated to help fill nutrient gaps in diets for women between the ages of 18 and 49. Also included in the tennis legend's daily vitamin routine is the Synbiotic+, which blends prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics to support a balanced gut microbiome, and the Hyacera, another clinically effective product proven to reduce wrinkles and fine lines and improve skin smoothness, all in one daily capsule.
