Louis Cole  

Global Traveler & YouTube Personality

Louis Cole is a British film-maker and YouTube personality from Surrey, England. He is best known for posting a daily video blog about his life and travels on the channel "FunForLouis", but originally found fame through filming eating stunts on another channel, "FoodForLouis."

In 2007 Cole purchased and renovated a double-decker bus, equipping it as a mobile center to help homeless youth with music and videogame facilities.The Boombus project now receives funding from local council wards.

Cole uploaded the first video to his "Food for Louis" YouTube channel on 18 May 2011, entitled "Eating Live Spider." The clip shows Cole capturing and eating a live house spider. Over the course of the next two years, Cole regularly posted videos in which he was seen to eat a range of unusual foods, including locusts, a raw heart, maggots, a frog corpse, ragworms, and scorpions.

Cole claims his videos are not cruel and that he kills the animals quickly to avoid any unnecessary suffering. He argues that viewers' disgust is based on ignorance of or bias against other culinary cultures.

Cole also vlogs on his popular newer YouTube channel Fun for Louis that is a daily chronicle of his life and his world travels.
