This is Stephen King's son AKA Joe Hill ✍️

[@spacegerrit9499]

He looks more like his dad than his dad does.

[@banditverse63289]

One thing I notice is that his dad's head in height is a bigger than Joe King. Additionally his lips(mouth) is also a little wider than Joe King I mean if you remove his beard than we could recognize the difference easily 😅😅

[@amig9318]

😂😂😂😂 EXACTLY!!!

[@SuperSedingAngeL-yr0]

😂😂😂

[@JamesAmick-cn4cm]

Stephen had a beard exactly like his in the 80s

[@lorijean1641]

You win the top comment in my opinion! I’d thought that if during those anonymous 10 years his photo was printed on the back flap, the gig was up! ❤

[@gracie5595]

you’re joe king.

[@isthisshit4real]

Lol. You're fun-eee.

Joking 😂 I see what you did there.

This cannot bee 🐝 True

[@austinc.8360]

Whoaaaa 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯I wasn't readyyyyy

[@xlDysenterylx]

That's not a child. It's a clone. He doesn't just LOOK like his ikd man. He even sounds just like him.

[@TheJoker-bz3ms]

That’s because he’s trying to be his dad

[@jdlambo6926]

Holy shitolly you cracked the case Batman! For real I think you are spot on.

[@nicholasscratch]

​@@TheJoker-bz3ms yet he changed his name as to not be associated with him? Bffr

[@Saucegod207]

​@@nicholasscratchhe didn't change his name, only his pen name. He still legally goes by Joseph King.

[@nicholasscratch]

@@Saucegod207 yeah I know that but if he wanted to copy his dad he wouldn't have kept his identity secret or changed his pen name

[@Monkey-biz]

His book 'Heart Shaped Box' was absolutely fantastic.

[@user-bz9hg7qe6d]

what is was about?

[@Ner0mancer]

@@user-bz9hg7qe6d having a stroke there buddy?

[@blinkerz4676]

⁠​⁠@@Ner0mancerHe asked a perfectly normal question. I too would like to know what is was about 🤔

[@storyleaks1681]

​@@blinkerz4676Fantastic was is the book joe hill wrote. One of of all time books out there.

[@tiredofit4761]

I’m sure being the child of one of the greatest horror/thriller writers of all time is daunting. I have read Joe’s books and they are so good as well!! He has a real talent for writing and I’ll always be a fan!

[@lorijean1641]

His brother, Owen King is a talented writer as well!

[@rolanddeschain6089]

Owen and Tabitha King are really good, talented writers. But Joe is on another level.

[@Rash23215]

​@@rolanddeschain6089 "joe is on another level"....even higher level than stephen??

[@rolanddeschain6089]

@@Rash23215 I wouldn't necessarily say that. But he fills his shoes well.

[@dopefish2245]

Joe King is great at writing Novels and Comics. Locke and Key and Plunge are my favorite comics by him. NOS4A2 was amazing

[@Ryan-qr6iu]

This guy looks like Stephen King poorly tried to infiltrate a high school.

He's an amazing writer. Also, if I wanted a voice actor for S.King, I'd hire this guy immediate.

[@lancemcallister8248]

Not as bad of a voice as his dad..cant stand listening to stephen talk

[@OstaraBooks]

He sounds like him without the Maine dialect.

[@OstaraBooks]

​@lancemcallister8248 It is the Maine dialect you dislike that is what Joe is missing.

[@Crossword131]

Dialect missing, maybe. Accent, naw. He's got it. HARD (listen to "old" and "do.") He has the same cadence and similar tone as pops. And I LOVE when King reads his own stuff.

[@Saucegod207]

​@@Crossword131yup he definitely has a tinge of Maine accent, even more so than I do and I've lived here 20 years

[@GoldenGateNum9]

Damn, a Spitting image of his legendary pops 👌🏻

[@evb62]

When I first read a book of his, I didn't know he was King's son, and I loved it for Joe's talent. This is the first time I see him on video, and it's remarkable how he looks like his dad.

[@PlanetShlorpian]

If I were to ever start writing (and I hope one day to start) Joe and his father will be my biggest inspirations. It's amazing how one family can bring about some mighty talented authors.

[@The-CoffeeMan]

If you’re hoping to start then you will never start. Just, start. And continue everyday.

[@shanebriggs1039]

​@@The-CoffeeManGood advice

[@Scarshadow666]

Love Joe Hill's writing! He was also great as the kid in the OG '80s Creepshow (SK also wrote and played a MC in one of the stories).

[@ichidonlee1512]

He looks so much like his dad at this age. Love his writing, too.

[@LaLadybug2011]

Saw someone raving about Joe's writing on another video comment section. I've been impatiently waiting for August 1st payday so I can purchase "The Fireman," by Joe Hill. Can't WAIT!

[@AlexeiArntzen]

Libraries exist...

[@jamiegolden6776]

Well I think Joe is a great writer Stephen King has always been my favorite writer and in my opinion both Joe and Owen have the gift

[@sharonmchugh7957]

I’m not criticizing his work I’ve read it and I enjoyed it. That being said he still has advantages that none of us have and most likely had no problem at all getting his work published. And that’s great! But he definitely has/had help that none of us have.

[@kennethweser]

He looks and sounds so much like his dad, it's uncanny!

[@angeloprice4534]

Mr.Hill I love your novels. Keep up the great work!

[@elaineisabelle427]

Wow, he looks just like his dad, love Stephen King.

[@chiefwiggi]

Holy shit this is the first time I am seeing Joe and he looks like his dad geez 🎉

[@randilevson9547]

When your parents make your name into a pun. I'm just Joe King.

[@apatriot5738]

For those of you who don't know Tabitha King is a great writer also. When I was young I read a lot and while at the library looking for another Stephen King book I found her books. I ended up reading quite a few of her books and really enjoyed them!

[@careytaitt868]

His choice to use a pseudonym was brilliant, his work is also impeccable

[@alfreddreamer9097]

I wonder if he gets mistaken for his dad alot. His dad's close friends might see him and say "Wow you're looking good, Stephen. What have you been doing?!"

[@Caramelo23606]

Strong King genes. His mum's never stood a chance.

[@ThePinkMan]

It was smart not to use his birth name. That way he only succeeds or fails on his own merits.

[@maxgomez8941]

He’s got more of a legitimate Maine accent than his father.

[@heatherfrank7433]

It worked on me. I read one of his short stories in a horror collection. When I find an author whose writing style I like, I seek out their other works as a safe bet. Read another of his that I liked and looked through more books by him. I saw that he wrote a book with Stephen and thought, “oh wow, that had to be so exciting to work with a legend of that genre.” I was so happy for him😂. I was reading a review and the reviewer mentioned Joe being Stephen’s son. That’s how I found out. So, his work spoke for itself to me. I really respect that.

[@ThatArabGirl10]

I thought it was Stephen King at first before I read the title of the video. Amazing!

[@thebookwasbetter3650]

That looks like Ryan Reynolds playing stephen king.

[@samuelmatthews2553]

NOS4A2 is great

[@sallyb1689]

The Amazon Audible adaptation of Locke & Key is an absolute tour de force

[@isthisshit4real]

Wow. He looks and sounds JUST LIKE Stephen King!! Cool!! 👍👍

[@randilevson9547]

He is the spitting image of his father. I have heard writers comment that they can't not write. That they write compulsively. Makes sense to me.

[@calen4092]

Im September 21 i have the same b day as Steve king and bill Murray

[@melissagregoire9278]

HEY Joe- where you goin with that book in yo hand?😅

[@jasonspence4749]

i was able to see them both in Missoula , Montana in October 2017 for their tour of Sleeping Beauties an amazing lecture of them both Stephen & Joe and an absolute masterpiece of a book

[@kathymchenry2208]

I wonder if Tabitha ever tried this. She's good, too. I also wonder if any writer ever put King as a last name, just to be on the same shelf

[@dukecity7688]

I dreamed i saw Joe Hill last night - alive as you and me.

[@sallyb1689]

He’s an incredible author

[@neilfox3208]

Joe Hill was a great man

Completely different type of writer, but excellent in his own right.

[@masonclark4770]

Wow. Joe looks AND sounds SO MUCH like Stephen, it’s almost uncanny.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

You should look how Ramon Estevez looked while young and compare his looks to his son Carlos. Similar uncanny effect.

[@A5M5-hm9lk]

Wow! Can’t wait to read his stuff.

[@zombiewarrior88]

His name is Joe King. Thats a hoot.

[@dannyreyna2821]

His stories are good.

[@snowysnowyriver]

He looks SO much like his father, it's incredible. That's not just a family likeness, they are almost doubles.

[@lauraknight7258]

BUT...He had some advantages in knowing who to submit work to and how the process works.

[@MaDmAnMaRK]

Locke and Key graphic novels are amazing.

[@sryxafraidofmonstersx]

i really respect the joe hill move that takes real confidence

[@hdervish2497]

I happened upon a copy of 20th Century Ghosts back in 2007 or so. From the first story, I knew exactly who he was, and the pic on the back of the jacket only confirmed it.

[@kimcreamer6278]

Yes and you are as talented if not more so than your father! Love your writing!

[@shayZero]

I read Horns and Heart Shaped Box before I knew. It only made me happier

Fun fact. He played the little boy at the beginning of creep show. The one that read the stories and ordered the voodoo doll.

[@KOLDBLU3ST33L]

Excellent writer.

[@PV1870]

Very nice to see this. Must be hard to be your own man and then write your way out from under such formidable shadow. Impossible in our culture to escape comparrisson or be bonzaied altogether. Easier to be a surgeon or a scientist if your father is one, even a successful one.. Maximum respect for this guy, just for doing it.

[@dianecloninger7084]

Whew looks just like dad

I think Joe king is an awesome name for an author let alone the son of Stephen King!!! But sadly it'll remain joe hill 😭😭

[@madmonkee6757]

He's handsome as fuck.

Joe Hill. I will have e to check that out. ❤

[@CleverChimney]

I read Heart Shaped Box by him and absolutely loved it and didn’t realize who he was until I looked at his picture on the back and had an OMG moment lol

[@vksasdgaming9472]

He looks frighteningly like his dad, but as writer he has not reached similar influence and mastery and most likely never will. He still is competent at his work and that is all that matters. Additionally he kept his family relation secret until he had succeeded without that benefit and that earns respect.

[@PeterDaley72]

When you're 1,000,000,000% sure you're not adopted.

[@draccoonxcii1288]

NO WAY!! 😮 I read _The Fireman_ and had no idea who he really was!

[@susanhardie5440]

I can't wait to read your work. I didn't know you existed. Your daddy is the greatest, but he should stay out of politics. He becomes a nut case when trying to fight Mr. T!!!! 😅 So happy your writing!😅

[@artofsam]

Its an incredibly admirable thing to do and I wish more children from famous parents who pursue the same careers would follow suit as it kind of solves the nepotism accusations which sours their reputation before they have even began their journey, if they can prove they can be as successful in that career without cashing in on their name it proves they are worthy and deserving of their career.

[@Iron-Bridge]

He definitely is his father's son. And yes, he can write.

Did you write Mr Mercedes because I love that book it was scary it was about getting kids and it was scary and I think he wrote it it was an excellent ride out I love that book

Surprisingly unlike brian herbert son of frank herbert author of dune joe hill is actually talented his books are amazing he didn't use his father name to succeed then deny it later like some people (will smith kids)
