Viewers gobsmacked after only just realizing MrBeast stars in hit Netflix series

Fans are only realising MrBeast starred in a Netflix hit series.

There’s something amusing about seeing famous faces worked into TV shows or games. Rockstar Games is iconic for basing its characters off real life celebrities and trends - one one of the most recognisable being Tesla CEO Elon Musk in GTA V Online.

Now, people on social media were left stunned after noticing a character in Love, Death & Robots looked (and sounded) an awful lot like the world’s most popular YouTuber.

"Why does this character look and sound like MrBeast," user Priy Devvrat Singh asked on X, referring to a scene in Season 4, Episode 7 of the hit Netflix series.

Turns out, it wasn't just a coincidence either.

As confirmed by Jimmy 'MrBeast' Donaldson himself, the YouTuber voiced the evil, over-the-top game master in the episode titled 'The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur.'

Apparently, the 26-year-old is a huge fan of the Love, Death & Robots series as well. According to an interview, director Tim Miller thought he'd be a perfect fit for the role of the arena host. Miller told Screenrant that after being invited to Donaldson's house, he spotted several Love, Death & Robots posters on the walls.

Having been familiar with Donaldson's YouTube videos, where he hosts over-the-top contests where people compete in crazy challenges for prize money - as well as the Amazon hit series Beast Games that saw one winner receive $10,000,000 - Miller figured he’d be the ideal choice for a charismatic host in this chaotic, dinosaur-fuelled gladiator battle set on Jupiter’s moon Europa.

What was even more surprising for the X user who spotted him is that he got a personal response from the philanthropist himself.

In a follow-up post, Priy mentioned that MrBeast replied to him in an Instagram story which 'made his day.'

"I got an answer from @MrBeast on his insta," Priy shared."Dayum, can't believe I was the one to point this out. Crazy"

Set on one of Jupiter’s largest moon Europa, the seventh episode centres around a cosmic wedding between Lord Chalon and Duchess Saraka of Callisto. MrBeast’s character introduces us to six highly-trained warriors who must mount a deadly triceratops and battle each other in a savage race that is destined to end in bloodshed.

The fourth season of the animated anthology series premiered on 15 May 2025 and is available to stream on Netflix now.
