TikTokWe love to see families coming together on TikTok and there’s no greater patriarch then
@grandadjoe1933. With a little help from his loving granddaughters, Grandad Joe creates ‘wholesome family content’ for his 2.4 million TikTok followers to enjoy.
Let’s get to know a little more about this super family man…
Although we know him as grandad, his full name is Joe Allington, who was a regular 87 year old from Lichfield before becoming a viral sensation. He lives with his daughter Wendy who got him on the TikTok app after noticing how popular his granddaughter @brookepaintain’s videos were that featured him.
His first ever TikTok video was a sad sight we all saw too much off back at the start of lockdown, where the elder generation were struggling with the empty shelves in the supermarket. This video gained an incredible 42 million views (and counting) and Joe became a smash hit over night - not bad for your first post!
Since then his following has continued to grow, gaining millions of fans in a space of a few months. This growth is purely down to Grandad Joe’s infectious spirit. He considers every one of his TikTok followers a new friend - and he sure does love to entertain.
Here’s some of our favourite videos that make Grandad Joe so special.
