So, you’ve been binging Beta Squad videos again, right? Me too. Don’t worry, no judgment here. Eventually, you start wondering: how old are these chaotic goofballs, anyway?
Let’s just say they’re old enough to rent a car, but young enough to still think a prank involving a fire extinguisher is a good idea. We’re talking about a group of guys who act like teenagers but have the bank accounts of grown-ups. It’s a beautiful, confusing mess.
The squad is a bit of a mixed bag age-wise. They all orbit the same early-to-mid-20s galaxy. But a few years can feel like a whole generation when you’re pulling all-nighters for a video.
Must Read
The Captain: Aj Shabeel
Aj is the dad of the group. He’s the one who makes sure everyone eats and doesn’t burn down the rented mansion. Born in 1998, he’s sitting pretty at 26 (as of 2024).
That makes him the elder statesman. He’s got that “I’ve seen things” energy, mostly because he has seen the other four do unspeakable things to a Tesco meal deal. He’s the wise old owl, but with a penchant for clickbait thumbnails.
The Loud One: Niko Omilana
Niko is a force of nature. He once ran for Mayor of London. Need I say more? He was born in 1998 too, making him a solid 26.
Wait, same age as Aj? Yes. But Niko ages in dog years, I swear. His energy is that of a hyperactive golden retriever who just discovered a tennis ball. He uses his 26 years to cause maximum chaos, and honestly, we respect it.
The Wildcard: Chunkz
If you thought Niko was chaotic, meet Chunkz. Real name: Filly. Born in 1997? Nope, actually 1996. That makes him 28! Wait, hold on—he’s the oldest?
News Base: The Rise of YouTube Collectives: Sidemen vs. Beta Squad
Yeah, let that sink in. The guy who acts like a lanky 19-year-old at a house party is actually the grandfather of the group. He’s twenty-eight and still making jokes about ketchup sandwiches. How does he do it? I think he’s reverse-aging out of spite.
Don’t let the math fool you, though. Chunkz is the emotional support friend. He’s been through it, and his laugh could cure diseases.
The Rookie(s): King Kenny and Sharky
Kenny (often called King Kenny) is the baby. Born in 2000, he’s a sprightly 24. He brings that “I just learned how to drive” energy to every reaction video.
Then there’s Sharky. Sharky is a bit of a mystery—his exact birthdate is harder to find than a quiet moment in a Beta Squad video. Most estimates put him at 24 to 25 (born around 1999-2000).
Sharky is the quiet observer who occasionally says something so devastatingly funny you choke on your coffee. He’s young enough to be impulsive, old enough to know better. He usually chooses chaos.
Who are the Beta Squad members? Names, profiles, and fun facts
So, Who’s the Real Old Man?
Let’s settle this. Chunkz is 28 and the oldest by a hair. Aj and Niko are tied at 26. Kenny is the baby at 24, and Sharky floats around 25.
That’s a four-year age gap between the oldest and youngest. In real life, that’s nothing. In Beta Squad years, it’s the difference between ordering a glass of wine and ordering a Happy Meal. Chunkz is out here thinking about property taxes while Kenny is wondering if he can eat a whole jar of pickles in one sitting.
Does Age Even Matter?
Honestly, no. They all share the same brain cell when the camera is rolling. Watching them, you’d think they’re all 19 and fueled by nothing but Monster Energy and spite.
Age is just a number when your job is to throw a fridge down a flight of stairs for a million views. They’ve hit that sweet spot: old enough to say “no,” but young enough to say “yes, and also let’s get a trampoline.” It’s the perfect balance of responsibility and reckless joy.
So, next time you watch them fail at a challenge, remember: Chunkz is pushing thirty. Absolutely terrifying, isn’t it? But it also means he probably has good skincare advice. You’re welcome.
