We’re talking about 12 men today, and this time it isn’t referring to Seattle Seahawks NFL fans. Jeremiah Johnson is 12 but has broken the internet because he has more facial hair than many grown men.
Jeremiah Johnson Image Goes Viral
Johnson’s photo with his MVP award at the Youth National Championship in December 2022 went viral.

People pointed out the pre-teen’s tattoo on his arm and his impressive facial hair in the photo as evidence that he wasn’t 12. In his interview with Talk’R Media Network on YouTube, Johnson let us all know that the tattoo was temporary.
Don’t act like everyone didn’t put a quarter in and get the fake tattoo out of the vending machine and slap it on in the bathroom of the roller rink as a kid.
This kid is incredibly well-spoken for just being 12. He’s gearing up for all those college press conferences in a few years.
Johnson also revealed in his interview with Talk’R Media Network that he is aware that he doesn’t look 12 years old, saying:
“I know I don’t look like my age. I mean, it doesn’t really affect me.”
You would have to have a stiff upper lip and mustache to look so mature at such a young age.
Fans React to Jeremiah Johnson Photo
Fans have major jokes on the internet and the 12-year-old found himself in the crossfire as ordinary humans tried to make sense of it all:

A suggestion of a little medical malpractice, maybe?
The hospital lied they pulled a full grown man from the back and said "heres your baby mam" cuz aint no way

Successful careers too, apparently:
Kid is so advanced, that he already has a Super Bowl ring.

Jeremiah Johnson’s Mother Speaks Out
Mom Shana Evans is used to everyone calling her child’s age out; even her own friends do it on social media.
Shana posts photos of her son with his full ‘stache cheering Jermaine and his football successes on.
Evans is aware that people have plenty to say about her son, but that doesn’t stop her from peppering her Facebook with photos of him.
She’s used to it all; after all, Johnson has had a mustache and been driving a car (kidding!) since he was six years old.
Where Is Jermaine Johnson Heading?
For now, middle school. But fans have already suggested that he’s going to be a Saban recruit. This is due to Alabama’s coach’s supposed reputation for signing young players.
We look forward to following the young man’s football career and his future facial hair company sponsorship deals.
