Time for a Thirsty Deep-Dive on Chase Stokes (aka John B on 'Outer Banks')

Hello, have you watched Outer Banks yet? Because it’s truly a lifestyle. Like, am I only saying that because I’m currently flopped on my couch living vicariously through Netflix? Probably. But also Outer Banks is pure escapism, the closest thing we’re gonna get to a beach vacation this year, and—more importantly—it introduced us to 27-year-old actor Chase Stokes, aka John B, aka this dude:

Chase was relatively under-the-radar before being cast on Outer Banks, which means no one really knows anything about him. Time to change that, fellow bored people.

First of All, HE’S! A! POET!

Cody Simpson is positively SHAKING right now.

His Hair Used to Look…Like This:

I am in no way, shape, or form okay with this.

He Was in Stranger Things

Like…VERY briefly:

He Talks to Inanimate Objects

I don’t even know what to say about this, so here’s the direct quote:

Would love to know what convo Chase had with this slice of pizza:

Very Important: Chase Is Single

At least that’s the vibe I’m getting for him saying this about Jennifer Aniston during an interview with Glamour: “There’s no chance for me, but at least knowing that we both have an Instagram, there’s a slight possibility that this could potentially turn into a conversation, at least.”

Also, apparently he’s “really, really attracted to intellect,” which is great news for my quarantine body!!!!!

He’s a Pro Ice Hockey Player

Or, he almost was. Chase recently said he “grew up predominately playing ice hockey” and was even “going to play in college and then do the professional route” until some injuries set him back.

Yes, He Surfs IRL

Chase describes himself as a “water child” who spent his time surfing while growing up “all along the eastern shore.”

Took a red eye flight on Easter Sunday, with $100 dollars in my bank account and never looked back. I had no idea five and a half months later id be wrapping up on a project that I couldn’t have dreamt up to be any better. To my newfound family, thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in a kid with a dream. Jonas, I know your not a big social media guy, but man oh man.. I’ll say nothing and I think you’ll smell what I’m steppin in. All I gotta say kids is, believe in yourself, and go fuckin do what you love. Hopefully you guys will enjoy this journey with us. I think it’s going to be pretty rad. Alright. John B OUT ?? Oh, also..Netflix? Thanks for employin ya boi. I appreciate dat.
