Jacob Bertrand

Background

Jacob Bertrand is quickly making a name for himself in the industry and has already won over the hearts of millions with his mischievous laugh and boyish good looks. Bertrand was born on March 6, 2000, in the U.S., and therefore his zodiac sign is Pisces. He is the son of Scott and Christina Bertrand and has two siblings: Makenna and Blake. Bertrand got his start in acting at five years old. It happened almost coincidentally when his older sister, Makenna, who wanted to be an actress at the time, convinced their mother to help her in her pursuit. Bertrand’s mom finally conceded and sent a few Christmas cards to several agents in L.A. The plan worked, and all three siblings ended up doing commercials. It only stuck with Jacob, however. Once introduced to the entertainment world, Bertrand went on to feature in a few more commercials and guest star spots before getting a deal with Nickelodeon. His first lead role on television came when he played the role of Henry Forman on the Nickelodeon series “Marvin Marvin” (2012). After his contract with Nickelodeon was up, Bertrand moved on to Disney, where he eventually landed the titular role in the series, “Kirby Buckets” (2014), followed by a lead role in “The Swap” (2016). In 2018, during his junior year in high school, Bertrand landed his breakthrough role on “Cobra Kai” — a continuation of the cult classic, “Karate Kid” — in which he played the character of “Hawk.”

Bertrand next dove into the world of podcasts, taking part in the adventure series “Black Box” (2021), which follows four teenagers who find a crashed time machine. Later that same year, Bertrand co-hosted a podcast with his best friend, Xolo Maridueña. Entitled “Lone Lobos,” the production sees the pair discuss everything from films, to food, to music and relationships. As the celebrity rose to fame, so did his commitment to N.G.Os. Bertrand partnered with two N.G.Os, one of which was Gobi support — a non-profit that helps teenagers and their families deal with drug and alcohol addiction through education, and intervention programs.

The second N.G.O. Bertrand collaborated with was Smile Train, which works towards helping and supporting children with cleft deformities. The rising star has shared several posts on his Instagram in support of both these foundations.

Where his love life is concerned, Bertrand has been at the receiving end of rumors linking him to his “Cobra Kai” castmate, Peyton List. The pair have yet to confirm the speculations. Before these rumors, Bertrand was in a serious relationship with his high school sweetheart, Serena Pullen.
