This is Stephen King's son AKA Joe Hill ✍️

[@spacegerrit9499]

He looks more like his dad than his dad does.

[@banditverse63289]

One thing I notice is that his dad's head in height is a bigger than Joe King. Additionally his lips(mouth) is also a little wider than Joe King I mean if you remove his beard than we could recognize the difference easily 😅😅

[@amig9318]

😂😂😂😂 EXACTLY!!!

[@SuperSedingAngeL-yr0]

😂😂😂

[@JamesAmick-cn4cm]

Stephen had a beard exactly like his in the 80s

[@lorijean1641]

You win the top comment in my opinion! I’d thought that if during those anonymous 10 years his photo was printed on the back flap, the gig was up! ❤

[@gracie5595]

you’re joe king.

[@seolylee]

😂😂😂

[@isthisshit4real]

Lol. You're fun-eee.

[@BLOXKAFELLARECORDS]

Joking 😂 I see what you did there.

[@AnthonyHeadway]

This cannot bee 🐝 True

[@austinc.8360]

Whoaaaa 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯I wasn't readyyyyy

[@xlDysenterylx]

That's not a child. It's a clone. He doesn't just LOOK like his ikd man. He even sounds just like him.

[@TheJoker-bz3ms]

That’s because he’s trying to be his dad

[@jdlambo6926]

Holy shitolly you cracked the case Batman! For real I think you are spot on.

[@nicholasscratch]

​@@TheJoker-bz3ms yet he changed his name as to not be associated with him? Bffr

[@Saucegod207]

​@@nicholasscratchhe didn't change his name, only his pen name. He still legally goes by Joseph King.

[@nicholasscratch]

@@Saucegod207 yeah I know that but if he wanted to copy his dad he wouldn't have kept his identity secret or changed his pen name

[@Monkey-biz]

His book 'Heart Shaped Box' was absolutely fantastic.

[@tiredofit4761]

I’m sure being the child of one of the greatest horror/thriller writers of all time is daunting. I have read Joe’s books and they are so good as well!! He has a real talent for writing and I’ll always be a fan!

[@lorijean1641]

His brother, Owen King is a talented writer as well!

[@rolanddeschain6089]

Owen and Tabitha King are really good, talented writers.
But Joe is on another level.

[@Ryan-qr6iu]

This guy looks like Stephen King poorly tried to infiltrate a high school.

[@Dapryor]

😂😂🤣

[@tylerthompson1842]

21 Jump Street

[@Crossword131]

He's an amazing writer.
Also, if I wanted a voice actor for S.King, I'd hire this guy immediate.

[@lancemcallister8248]

Not as bad of a voice as his dad..cant stand listening to stephen talk

[@OstaraBooks]

He sounds like him without the Maine dialect.

[@OstaraBooks]

​@lancemcallister8248 It is the Maine dialect you dislike that is what Joe is missing.

[@Crossword131]

Dialect missing, maybe. Accent, naw. He's got it. HARD (listen to "old" and "do.") He has the same cadence and similar tone as pops. And I LOVE when King reads his own stuff.

[@Saucegod207]

​@@Crossword131yup he definitely has a tinge of Maine accent, even more so than I do and I've lived here 20 years

[@evb62]

When I first read a book of his, I didn't know he was King's son, and I loved it for Joe's talent. This is the first time I see him on video, and it's remarkable how he looks like his dad.

[@GoldenGateNum9]

Damn, a Spitting image of his legendary pops 👌🏻

[@dopefish2245]

Joe King is great at writing Novels and Comics. Locke and Key and Plunge are my favorite comics by him. NOS4A2 was amazing

[@PlanetShlorpian]

If I were to ever start writing (and I hope one day to start) Joe and his father will be my biggest inspirations. It's amazing how one family can bring about some mighty talented authors.

[@The-CoffeeMan]

If you’re hoping to start then you will never start. Just, start. And continue everyday.

[@randilevson9547]

When your parents make your name into a pun. I'm just Joe King.

[@thebookwasbetter3650]

That looks like Ryan Reynolds playing stephen king.

[@LaLadybug2011]

Saw someone raving about Joe's writing on another video comment section. I've been impatiently waiting for August 1st payday so I can purchase "The Fireman," by Joe Hill. Can't WAIT!

[@AlexeiArntzen]

Libraries exist...

[@snowysnowyriver]

He looks SO much like his father, it's incredible. That's not just a family likeness, they are almost doubles.

[@ichidonlee1512]

He looks so much like his dad at this age. Love his writing, too.

[@jamiegolden6776]

Well I think Joe is a great writer
Stephen King has always been my favorite writer and in my opinion both Joe and Owen have the gift

[@dukecity7688]

I dreamed i saw Joe Hill last night - alive as you and me.

[@ThatArabGirl10]

I thought it was Stephen King at first before I read the title of the video. Amazing!

[@apatriot5738]

For those of you who don't know Tabitha King is a great writer also. When I was young I read a lot and while at the library looking for another Stephen King book I found her books. I ended up reading quite a few of her books and really enjoyed them!

[@kennethweser]

He looks and sounds so much like his dad, it's uncanny!

[@heatherfrank7433]

It worked on me. I read one of his short stories in a horror collection. When I find an author whose writing style I like, I seek out their other works as a safe bet. Read another of his that I liked and looked through more books by him. I saw that he wrote a book with Stephen and thought, “oh wow, that had to be so exciting to work with a legend of that genre.” I was so happy for him😂. I was reading a review and the reviewer mentioned Joe being Stephen’s son. That’s how I found out. So, his work spoke for itself to me. I really respect that.

[@alfreddreamer9097]

I wonder if he gets mistaken for his dad alot. His dad's close friends might see him and say "Wow you're looking good, Stephen. What have you been doing?!"

[@chiefwiggi]

Holy shit this is the first time I am seeing Joe and he looks like his dad geez 🎉

[@randilevson9547]

He is the spitting image of his father. I have heard writers comment that they can't not write. That they write compulsively. Makes sense to me.

[@Caramelo23606]

Strong King genes. His mum's never stood a chance.

[@melissagregoire9278]

HEY Joe- where you goin with that book in yo hand?😅

[@samuelmatthews2553]

NOS4A2 is great

[@kathymchenry2208]

I wonder if Tabitha ever tried this. She's good, too. I also wonder if any writer ever put King as a last name, just to be on the same shelf

[@zombiewarrior88]

His name is Joe King. Thats a hoot.

[@masonclark4770]

Wow. Joe looks AND sounds SO MUCH like Stephen, it’s almost uncanny.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

You should look how Ramon Estevez looked while young and compare his looks to his son Carlos. Similar uncanny effect.

[@maxgomez8941]

He’s got more of a legitimate Maine accent than his father.

[@isthisshit4real]

Wow. He looks and sounds JUST LIKE Stephen King!! Cool!! 👍👍

[@calen4092]

Im September 21 i have the same b day as Steve king and bill Murray

[@ThePinkMan]

It was smart not to use his birth name. That way he only succeeds or fails on his own merits.

[@neilfox3208]

Joe Hill was a great man

[@patrickbooten9149]

Was? You mean is 😊

[@dannyreyna2821]

His stories are good.

[@PeterDaley72]

When you're 1,000,000,000% sure you're not adopted.

[@826bmp]

Completely different type of writer, but excellent in his own right.

[@lauraknight7258]

BUT...He had some advantages in knowing who to submit work to and how the process works.

[@sharonmchugh7957]

I’m not criticizing his work I’ve read it and I enjoyed it. That being said he still has advantages that none of us have and most likely had no problem at all getting his work published. And that’s great! But he definitely has/had help that none of us have.

[@MaDmAnMaRK]

Locke and Key graphic novels are amazing.

[@spookynightthelegendofclar4049]

He looks just like his dad ❤

[@BillMcSwain]

Fun fact. He played the little boy at the beginning of creep show. The one that read the stories and ordered the voodoo doll.

[@jasonspence4749]

i was able to see them both in Missoula , Montana in October 2017
for their tour of Sleeping Beauties
an amazing lecture of them both Stephen & Joe
and an absolute masterpiece of a book

[@A5M5-hm9lk]

Wow! Can’t wait to read his stuff.

[@shayZero]

I read Horns and Heart Shaped Box before I knew. It only made me happier

[@pikehead1]

We need him writing Dr Who PLEASE 😊

[@vksasdgaming9472]

He looks frighteningly like his dad, but as writer he has not reached similar influence and mastery and most likely never will. He still is competent at his work and that is all that matters. Additionally he kept his family relation secret until he had succeeded without that benefit and that earns respect.

[@honeybeeklo83]

Boy you look just like your daddy sheesh ❤️ 📚 🖊️

[@kimcreamer6278]

Yes and you are as talented if not more so than your father! Love your writing!

[@LuzMaria95]

the black phone really does it for me. I love the short story so much. and the movie is just as good. 🔥

[@CleverChimney]

I read Heart Shaped Box by him and absolutely loved it and didn’t realize who he was until I looked at his picture on the back and had an OMG moment lol

[@julmart5154]

France is really respectful of USA because of Stephen King, what à legend, even the translation of theses books are masterclass

[@draccoonxcii1288]

NO WAY!! 😮
I read _The Fireman_ and had no idea who he really was!

[@sryxafraidofmonstersx]

i really respect the joe hill move that takes real confidence

[@flobo23]

loved that book about the cursed cloth..

[@dianecloninger7084]

Whew looks just like dad

[@madmonkee6757]

He's handsome as fuck.

[@georgeshelton6281]

It's good that I found out about this. I realized what's going on with Stephen King's family. 😳

[@tori.rory.]

How very Richard Bachman of you.

[@MissSunny1966]

I thought he was his dad!

[@kingstratton2876]

I think Joe king is an awesome name for an author let alone the son of Stephen King!!! But sadly it'll remain joe hill 😭😭

[@magsy21]

Smart move, writing with Hill. 🏆
And who is surprised by that? Hmm?
I doubt many.
The ‘Rents are talented and smart.
Best in all endeavors to you. 🙂

[@DMBGirl1234]

Joe's a really good Writer

[@artofsam]

Its an incredibly admirable thing to do and I wish more children from famous parents who pursue the same careers would follow suit as it kind of solves the nepotism accusations which sours their reputation before they have even began their journey, if they can prove they can be as successful in that career without cashing in on their name it proves they are worthy and deserving of their career.

[@Iron-Bridge]

He definitely is his father's son. And yes, he can write.

[@KOLDBLU3ST33L]

Excellent writer.

[@peterverbakel5200]

Very nice to see this. Must be hard to be your own man and then write your way out from under such formidable shadow. Impossible in our culture to escape comparrisson or be bonzaied altogether. Easier to be a surgeon or a scientist if your father is one, even a successful one.. Maximum respect for this guy, just for doing it.

[@datboi7160]

Stephen king has strong gene's to have a son who looks and sounds exactly like him

[@susanhardie5440]

I can't wait to read your work. I didn't know you existed. Your daddy is the greatest, but he should stay out of politics. He becomes a nut case when trying to fight Mr. T!!!! 😅 So happy your writing!😅

[@amig9318]

Joe Hill. I will have e to check that out. ❤

[@joncampbell5021]

Was able to keep the fact that he was SK’s kid for about a decade….. and then his book sales really took off

[@Amanda-bj4eo]

😮 He's a split image of his father!

[@emmaphilo4049]

Writing runs in his blood, that's so cool :)

[@evolutionsfake]

Genuinely curious how many times a day he gets the question “did you know you look exactly like Stephen King?”

[@annielane5621]

I thought that was Stephen King, wow 😯😳!

[@brenkelly1474]

Looks so like his dad

[@-th1rty3-]

Genetics, man, thought he was Stephen at first.

[@SizableSack]

King of the Hill

[@ScottRock12]

How could this guy keep it in secret his like a second edition of his dad

[@LilMissSmartyPants.922]

looks just like his dad

[@Fruitytang]

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night

[@daverichards9141]

He looks like someone famous.

[@kevinsmith9502]

wow.they are so much alike

[@Kwisatz_HaderachXIII]

That is Stephen King in a disguise as himself

[@FRADAVE02]

Well the apple dosn't fall far from the tree! 🍎

[@celleasoper3323]

Wow he looks so much like his father 😮😂

[@darkangel6742]

Wonder if he's ever been told he looks a LOT like the wrestler Mick Foley, aka Man Kind??? Cause omfg!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮

[@flopsweat]

GOT ONE OF HIS BOOKS...HAD NO IDEA

[@wheelblack35]

I was going to say… that’s Stephen kings son

[@ConfusedPolarBear-jn9ll]

Luv hos books, great storyteller, luv the Maine accent!

[@Centaur1991]

So this is joe, the one stephen tied to a bed for his 'novel experiments'. Then tabitha walks in and asks "what in the hell is going on". Joe simply replied "Oh nothing, its one of dad's shit again"

[@martymcfly5764]

He looks like Steven King wearing a disguise as Steven King if that makes any sense.

[@stevenkelley0615]

* Stephen King

[@robmccoy5207]

When is his publisher going to tell him that it's about time to re-release his catalog under the name Joseph King? At least he is writing his own works in his own universe unlike Christopher Tolkien, Brian Herbert, and Rhianna Pratchett.

[@abellabarbie]

And he made CreepShow!

[@hurtysquirty]

I thought that was Dave grohl's son 🤣

[@labspeciman7402]

Ya he would have caught hell for living off his name. Its what people do.

[@FrithonaHrududu02127]

How insane is it that he's actually become one of the foremost horror writers of his own generation like inheriting writing skills that's that's not really something that happens I don't think like it's not like inheriting fast twitch muscles or something p like it's such a weird collection of things that make up a good writer and I think it's absolutely nuts that he's as good as he is and the other thing is they've actually like linked to their books together like his character Charlie Banks is mentioned by dick halloran Stephen King's character dick halloran from The shining in doctor sleep so there's an organic continuation of Stephen King's writing universe through his own son like I don't think that's ever really happened before that's crazy
