A TikTok user named Matt Taylor, who bears a striking resemblance to actor Kevin James, has been posting videos about his experiences as an art teacher. The videos, which have garnered between 700,000 and 2.4 million views, have sparked speculation about Taylor’s true identity. Some viewers believe that Taylor is actually Kevin James, star of the classic sitcom “The King of Queens,” pretending to be an art teacher under an alias.

Taylor’s videos appear to be well-produced, with one featuring a fully equipped classroom and another showing him painting in a timelapse sequence. He has also gained a significant following, with nearly 115,000 followers, despite only following one person, Ed Sheeran. The effort and resources that seem to be going into these videos have led some to suggest that they may be part of a promotional campaign for Kevin James’ upcoming movie, “Playdate.”

There are currently three main theories about Matt Taylor’s identity: that he is Kevin James’ doppelgänger, that Kevin James is pretending to be Taylor as a prank or promotional stunt, or that Taylor is indeed a separate individual. Neither Taylor nor James’ representatives have responded to requests for comment, leaving the speculation to continue.

The situation has drawn comparisons to actor KJ Apa’s viral TikTok persona, “Mr. Fantasy,” in which he adopts a disguise and persona. However, the extent of the production and the timing of the videos, coinciding with the release of James’ new movie, suggest that there may be more to the story.

As the debate about Matt Taylor’s identity continues, one thing is clear: his videos have struck a chord with viewers, who appreciate his enthusiasm and teaching style. Regardless of whether he is actually Kevin James or not, Taylor has managed to build a significant following and generate interest in his content. The true nature of his identity and intentions may remain a mystery for now, but his impact on TikTok is undeniable.
