Background

Peyton Meyer was born on November 24, 1998, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Meyer is among the most popular and acclaimed actors of his time. He is widely known for his roles in the Disney Channel series. He was born to Robert, his father, and his mother, Elizabeth. He was raised together with his two brothers, Dillon and Cole. His interest in acting started at a young age. His mother took it upon herself to drive him to his auditions from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. When he became a fully-fledged actor, he relocated his whole family to Los Angeles. His first onscreen appearance was in a Disney movie trailer commercial. Shortly afterward, he landed a role in “Shortage,” a James Franco short film. Related to that, he was cast in another short film by Franco’s graduate student, where he played an abused poet. His breakthrough came with a role on an episode of “Dog with a Blog,” a Disney sitcom show in 2013.

His role, Wes Manning, in “Dog with a Blog,” foreshadowed his casting as Lucas Friar, in “Girl Meets World,” another Disney sitcom, which catapulted his recognition to greater lengths. He had initially auditioned for Elliot’s role but ended up being cast as Tristian, a guest role that subsequently transitioned to the main cast, Lucas Friar. This role elevated his popularity amongst his audience. He brought back the role of Lucas Friar in “Cyd and Shelby’s Haunted Escape,” an episode of the Disney sitcom, “Best Friends Whenever.” In addition to this, he landed the role of Tommy in “Gibby,” a family comedy film in 2016. He has also been featured in a couple of television shows including “Teens Wanna Know,” “Disney 365,” “Good Morning America,” and “Disney Best Day Ever” among others.

In 2015, Meyer addressed the question about his fondness for Rowan Blanchard, one of his co-stars. He stated that they were only close as friends. He also spoke about Sabrina Carpenter, saying they were just friends, and even disclosed that she was dating Bradley Steven Perry at the time. He also went viral after a video of him and Paris Berelc exchanging wedding vows surfaced but it was later revealed that they were just an act that was part of an educational program titled, “Premiere.” In 2017, it was speculated that he was dating Vanessa Rose Lowden with whom he went on a hike as well as to the Coachella music festival. He has also been involved with Angeline Appel. He has always managed to keep his audience entertained and wanting more whether it is in his career or his personal life and hence the reason for his ever-growing following.
