Who is Peyton Meyer? Age, Girlfriend and Movies Revealed

Peyton Meyer's star is rising thanks to his recent appearance in He's All That.

The Netflix remake of She's All That is currently top of the charts for the streaming platform, meaning more fans are watching his character Jordan Van Draanen get beaten up by the hero, played by Tanner Buchanan.

However, recently he has also been in the news after it was alleged an intimate video of him surfaced on Twitter.

At present, it is unclear whether the video actually shows him in it, and exactly what is taking place.

But his Netflix debut has gone down a storm with fans, especially those who know and love him from Disney classic T.V. series.

How Old Is Peyton Meyer?

Peyton Meyer was born on November 24, 1998, which makes him 22 years old.

Despite his youth, he has been in Hollywood for some time, having made his debut in 2013 on the Disney Channel.

Does The He's All That Star Have a Girlfriend?

Meyer does have a girlfriend, who he regularly posts images of on his Instagram.

Her name is Taela, A.K.A. Taylor Mae LaCour, who is a 23-year-old singer/songwriter.

Taela also posts TikTok videos of her and Meyer singing in the car together, as well as satirical videos speaking of how lucky she is to have him while he sits and eats junk food.

Back in February, Taela posted a TikTok video where she showed her childhood crush, followed by her current boyfriend.

For her childhood crush, she showed a picture of Meyer when he appeared in Disney's Girl Meets World, with the caption: "cowboy take me away🤠 #lucasfriar #girlmeetsworld" before showing a more up to date image of Meyer.

Lucas Friar, the name mentioned in the caption, was his character in the show.

It is unclear how long they have been together, but both went public with their relationship in February 2021.

What Was the 'TikTok Leak Room' Trend About?

Recently, Meyer's name began trending alongside 'TikTok Leak Room,' which was confusing to some fans.

TikTok Leak Room was allegedly the name of a now-deleted Twitter account where a video of Meyer with a woman appeared.

Fans on Twitter claimed the video showed Meyer having sex with a woman, though it can not be confirmed whether it was Meyer or who else was in the video.

Those who claimed to have seen the video took to Twitter to share their feelings, with some joking at how their childhood memories have been shattered.

Hours after the leak, Meyer and Taela shared a video on their TikToks which showed them dancing while rubbing her stomach "several months" after the alleged video took place.

Newsweek has approached representatives for Meyer for comment.

What Movies and T.V. Shows Has He Starred In?

Meyer is best known for his role on Girl Meets World, the Disney reboot of the 1990s show Boy Meets World.

However, his debut role was in Disney Channel series Dog With A Blog, in which he played the recurring role of Wes Manning.

He then took on the role of Lucas Friar in Girl Meets World, and reprised the role in Best Friends Whenever, another Disney Channel series.

His next big role was in American Housewife, the ABC sitcom starring Katy Mixon, in which he played Taylor's boyfriend Trip.

He also appeared in the web series Versus as Ethan, and otherwise has had guest appearances in various T.V. series.

In terms of film roles, his first was in 2016 movie Gibby about a capuchin monkey, before he appeared in He's All That.
