What are The Janoskians doing today? Viral TikTok with over 1million views shows girl finding brothers on dating app
Elder brother Beau Brooks, twins Luke and Jai Brooks, and friends Daniel Sahyounie and James Yammouni went viral back in 2011 for their hilarious YouTube videos, pranks on Melbourne locals and each other, mockumentaries and skits, and, of course, their pop music releases, such as Set This World on Fire and Best Friends.
Despite boasting 2.6million followers on YouTube, the boys went silent on the video-sharing platform in 2018, with Jai Brooks confirming two years later that they had called it quits.
But over five years later, what are the famous brothers up to now?
One die-hard Janoskians fan found out, taking to TikTok to reveal that she had come across the once-famous brothers on various dating apps.

'When you were once a massive fan girl of the Janoskians and paid them to just acknowledge your existence for 7 seconds,' TikTok user Stephanie captioned the now-viral clip, which has amassed 1 million views.
She added: 'Forward 10+ years later and are now matching with them on dating apps.'
The social media user went on to share screenshots of the former stars' dating profiles.
Beau, 31, who is now a warehouse worker at Amazon, was found on Bumble by the TikTok user.
The former star's bio read: 'Looking for a woman [who] serves God first and is seeking something long term and serious to get married.'
She also matched with Jai Brooks, 30, on Hinge, who posed in a singlet that showed off his buff biceps while standing next to a self-made tiger painting in one photo from his dating profile.
'My self-care routine is: Gym and sports,' he shared as one of his prompts.
James, 29, was also on Bumble and said that he was looking for a life partner as one of his prompts.
Fans of the boy group flooded Stephanie's comments section, gushing over their love for the iconic boy group and reminiscing over their peak fame.
'Nah if I matched with jai brooks im keeping that offline and locking in,' one person wrote.
'Living for this. my janoskians era feels like a fever dream,' another penned.
One person added: 'Seeing ariana grandes ex bf on hinge is insane,' alluding to Jai Brooks, who dated the popstar briefly in 2012.
'Shoot for the stars baby girl, living the Janoskians fangirl dream,' another wrote.
Another chimed in: 'People will never understand the 2012/2013 janoskians era.'
Even Jai Brooks himself commented on the post, writing: 'Oh ffs Beau I was there first', to which Stephanie replied: 'Double date?'
Beau, Luke, Jai, Daniel and James formed the comedy group in 2011 and rose to fame on social media with their gross-out humour and prank videos.
The group, who hailed from Melbourne, came up with the name by creating an acronym for 'Just Another Name of Silly Kids in Another Nation'.
In addition to having their own MTV series and Netflix movie, the boys also toured as a band and at one point sold out London's Wembley Arena.
Making names for themselves globally, the boys appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and even dated Hollywood A-listers.
However, their popularity eventually declined and the group stopped updating their main channel in 2018, before confirming in 2020 that The Janoskians had broken up.

McDonald's Australia announces huge menu news - confirming rumours that have circulated for weeks
Rumours of an exciting collaboration between fast food giant McDonald's Australia and shoe brand Crocs have been circulating on social media of late. And now, FEMAIL can exclusively confirm that the reports are indeed correct - and the new menu offering will be available this week. A McDonald's spokesperson confirmed the launch of a new Crocs Happy Meal featuring a range of ultra cute mini shoe keychain collectibles, which will be available from Thursday July 10. The new Happy Meals will include one of eight exclusive Macca's-inspired Crocs keychain designs. McDonald's Australia Marketing Director of Menu and Brand Amanda Nakad said: 'Get set to collect! The Happy Meal you've been waiting for is here.' The Macca's spokeswoman added that Crocs Happy Meals have already been a huge hit overseas, and that it was now Australia's turn to get in on the fun-size action. 'After a huge response to the Crocs Happy Meal in the US, we knew we had to bring the fun Down Under.' Each of the Crocs Happy Meal collectibles will come housed in a mini shoebox. They will also come with a sticker sheet of Jibbitz charms, so you can add unique personality to the keychain. 'Crocs are all about comfort and self-expression,' Amanda said. 'With eight bold designs, mini shoeboxes, and Jibbitz sticker sheets, this collab is the perfect mix of individuality and fun we know Aussie families will love.' The limited edition Crocs Happy Meal will only be available for a limited time, while stocks last. Rumours of the collaboration started circulating online following a TiKTok video shared by Aussie foodie, Nectro Vlangos, who posts under the handle @nectoriouspapi. Sharing an 11-second video that has now been viewed over 109,000 times, the teaser clip revealed that 'Crocs Keychains' would be 'coming soon' to Macca's. The food content creator correctly stated in the video's voice over that there were eight keychains in the new range, before adding that he 'wanted every single one of them'. The comments section quickly lit up with replies from excited Maccas and Crocs fans. 'Happy Meals every day till you have them all,' read one response. Rumours of the Crocs Happy Meal collab started circulating online following an 11-second video shared by Melbourne video Nectro Vlangos, who posts under the handle @nectoriouspapi 'I want them all,' added another person. 'Omgggg neeeed,' said a third. Nectro also added an extra unconfirmed piece of intel in the comments section about an alternative way to get hold of the Crocs collectibles. 'Did you know you can actually buy them individually for $2?' he suggested. One Crocs fan responded saying they would happily stump up the cash to instantly buy the entire set of eight keychains outright. But an Aussie woman replied to this comment, pointing out that this wouldn't necessarily guarantee a complete set because it's a lucky dip style situation. The woman that the Crocs Happy Meal keychains come 'in a box', meaning 'you won't exactly know' if you get the ones you need to complete a set. The Crocs Happy Meal comes with a choice of a hamburger, cheeseburger, nuggets or a grilled chicken wrap. It can be paired with apple slices or fries and a small drink - all served in a classic Happy Meal box.

Helen, who plays nurse Trixie on the BBC One medical drama, has a lifelong phobia of the ocean. At the show's Bafta launch, she said: 'I have a fear of the sea. I've been up to my knees in the last 20 years. The challenge is to get my head under water and to stay under water to even see a single fish. 'When I was very young I was at a swimming party. I remember going underwater, looking up and foam mats had been chucked where I was coming up. I couldn't get out. 'There's a fear there that if you go underwater I can't make my way back out. I feel deeply pathetic and embarrassed.' The show also stars Rachel Riley, Sir Lenny Henry, Lucy Punch, Ade Adepitan, Dougie Poynter and Ross Noble.

Emily Kam Kngwarray review – connected to something far beyond the art world
Painting quickly and directly, with few revisions and no changes of heart, Emily Kam Kngwarray's art is filled with exhilarations and with difficulties. Part of the pleasure of her art is that it is so immediate, so visually accessible, with its teeming fields and clusters of finger-painted dots, its sinuous and looping paths, its intersections and branchings, its staves and repetitive rhythms. You can get lost in there, and sometimes overwhelmed. You can feel the connection between her hand and eye, and the bodily gestures she makes as she paints. Kngwarray's paintings might well remind you of a kind of gestural abstraction they have nothing to do with, and which the artist would never in any case have seen. The things we look at in Kngwarray's art are about an entirely different order of experience to the similar kinds of brushstrokes driven this way and that around other, more familiar canvases we might also find in Tate Modern, where her retrospective has arrived from the National Gallery of Australia. But this similarity is also one of the reasons Kngwarray became famous in the first place. Kngwarray only painted for the last six or seven years of her life, leading up to her death in 1996. She made upwards of 3,000 paintings. Before that she spent a little over a decade making batik prints, which were no less inventive than her paintings; foliage and flowers cover the cotton and later silk, lizards and emus erupt from the fabrics which swarm with life and her own lively and confident graphic touch. Her art always had a spirit of improvisation and immersion in the process, first in the complexities of printmaking and then in painting with thin, quick-drying acrylics. Born around 1914 in Australia's Northern Territory, Kngwarray spent her entire life around her ancestral Alhalker Country homeland. Colonisers had first appeared there in the 1870s, and confrontations had led to many Aboriginal deaths. As a child, Kngwarray learned to run away from the whitefellers. First came the surveyors, then the telegraph, and then police, trackers and settlers, digging boreholes for water for their sheep, goats, horses and cattle, and appropriating sacred ancestral lands. Missionaries came with camels, magic lantern shows and a gramophone. In the early 1930s, 100 or more Aboriginal people in the area were shot or poisoned by police and a colonist leaseholder (who had been involved in previous atrocities), in retribution for spearing cattle. Kngwarray spent much of her adult life on stations, watching cattle and sheep, working in kitchens and minding children. She spoke little English, and like other Aboriginal people, generally worked for rations rather than payment. The sheep and cattle stations couldn't function without their labour. She was an accomplished hunter-gatherer. Photographs in the fascinating catalogue show Kngwarray skinning echidnas and bearing a lizard by the tail. By the 1970s, land began to be returned to its traditional owners, and adult literacy and numeracy courses were set up, leading, circuitously, to a batik printing course at the former Utopia station homestead, as a possible avenue to self-employment for women in the area. Then in her mid-60s, Kngwarray became, as she said later, 'the boss of batik'. By the early 1980s, batiks by the Utopia artists began to be recognised and exhibited, firstly in Australia then further afield. By the end of the 1980s, an Aboriginal controlled organisation took over the Women's Batik Group, and began distributing paints and canvas as an alternative to the highly labour-intensive batik. The imagery, motifs, iconography, and even spatial sense of Kngwarray's work comes directly from her Indigenous Anmatyerr culture; women's songs and ceremonies involving communal body painting – using natural pigments mixed with fat to stripe breasts, torsos and arms, ceremonies involving scarification, and telling stories with the sand at one's feet, using leaves and twigs and other ephemera to represent characters, situations, weather. All this storytelling and bodypainting takes place while sitting on the ground, which is also where Kngwarray put herself to paint. For larger works she would sit on the unstretched canvas and work from within it. Painting for her was a continuation of her cultural practice – although it appears she was hesitant about revealing the stories her paintings told. This isn't unusual for any artist. Its good to have secrets and mysteries and things unexplained. Where her paintings are titled, they might be called 'Everything, or My Country, or be named after a specific place or a type of yam, an old man emu with babies, or appear to describe a journey through the bush. Arrow shapes turn out to be the footprints of emus in the sand as they make their way from here to there, pausing to eat fruits or grain or insects in their path. Tangles of line depict the vine of the pencil yam, whose presence betrays the tubers underground and the seed-pods from which the artist got her name Kam. 'I am Kam! I paint my plant, the one I am named after,' she once explained. 'They are found growing up along the creek banks. That's what I painted. I keep on painting the place that belongs to me – I never change from painting that place.' Sometimes the paintings are meticulous in their ordering, and at other times a line will scrabble all over the place, rolling and slewing around the large canvas. There are blizzards of dots, translucent white lines crossing and recrossing the territory of the canvas, and emphatic black lines crazing a white surface with marks that nearly cohere – but into what? Often, I'm left teetering. One long suite of 22 identically sized canvases, all dotted and clotted and clogged with colour, seems to evoke a consistent though shifting optical terrain, while banks of horizontal and vertical lines evoke the body markings of a traditional ceremony, and the sense of bodies in motion. The closer I get to Kngwarray's art, the more it recedes. On a physical and optical level, it feels accessible, in ways that are a bit overfamiliar. But that wasn't what the artist was doing. Her art was about life and connectedness to something more than just the art world and its manners. Emily Kam Kngarraway is at Tate Modern until 11 January
