(It seems doubtful that she relies on any of them for corporate sponsorship, the way Padgett relies on sponsor Bunny Venom, given her per-video payout rate on TikTok and the reports of what she brings in monthly on YouTube.)Ĭharacter Padgett is known for her makeover how-tos (some of which give bad advice, such as using toothpaste to reduce pimples), and in fact Rae’s very first YouTube video was showing how to do hair and makeup. Rae has her own merchandise line, but has also endorsed brands including Chantilly Boutique, Cheapskate, FashionNova, McCrary Jewelers, and Uptown. At only 20, the Louisiana celeb is worth over $5 million and has more than 83.4 million followers on TikTok (far more than her character in the film). She began her career as a dancer, who in 2019 launched a TikTok channel featuring her dance takes on popular songs. Here’s a look at the cast, including some blink-or-you’ll-miss-it cameos of other influencers among the cast members…Ī post shared by Addison Rae Addison Rae as Padgett SawyerĪlthough this is Rae’s first full-length feature, she is no stranger to the camera.

For Gen-X viewers, He’s All That is a story we’ve seen before: Pygmalion or My Fair Lady, but updated with cultural references, settings, and technology that make the story of the lesson behind the plot-that the person you are is more important than the image you put forth-more connected to a modern audience.
