Their random public pranks have been most viewed and have earned them millions of viewers, the most popular ones being their hilarious parodies such as ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ and ‘The Talk Dirty Dance’. They also make popular mockumentaries where in good humor they document recent events. These boys are serious music lovers too, and have created their own music videos and songs, some being – ‘Set This World on Fire’, ‘Real Girl Eats Cake’, ‘Would You Love Me’, ‘That’s What She Said’ and more.

What Makes Luke Brooks So Special
Even though Luke has an identical twin, his uniqueness stands out. He is called the “cutest” member of the group, with his fans majorly being young ladies. He is charming and since 2011, has transformed from a cute boy into a good-looking dapper gentleman. He takes inspiration from the famous ‘One Direction’ band and loves their dressing sense. Luke tends to sweep ladies off their feet with his excellent guitar skills. He has a subtle and warm voice and makes a fabulous singer. He also believes in standing up against any form of bullying. Since in his own past he has encountered plenty of it, he hopes to make others strong enough to not encourage bullying.
Beyond Fame
The attractive Luke has all it takes to become a mega star, but beyond all his fame, is a regular boy with aspirations. Luke desires to one day become a popular singer and top the music charts. He loves the color blue. He is also a camera freak and loves taking selfies. He loves his brothers and the trio shares a strong bond. However, he doesn’t like people confusing him for his twin, as he has a competitive streak and wants to be known for himself. Since he has good photographic skills, he is the official editor of all videos shot by the group. He loves food, especially Spaghetti Bolognese. One flaw Luke wants to overcome is that he is a little short tempered. He also has a fear of crossing roads, thus he prefers to cross roads with a companion.
