2. Ross Lynch auditioned for Disney Channel when he was 13 years old.

With a confident demeanor and a surfer-boy charisma, Ross Lynch sent in a video audition reading for a promotional Disney Channel commercial back when he was only 13 years old. It landed him a couple of small roles on the network, acting on the short-lived Disney Channel game show “Moises Rules!” back in 2009. It wasn’t until 2011 when he was at age 16 years old that he officially became a part of the Disney Channel family and was cast to play the teenage singer/heartthrob Austin Moon on the hit Disney television show Austin & Ally. The television show ran until January 2016 with an hour-long episode that even included a fast-forward into the future of Austin & Ally.

When he was cast in the Disney Channel television show Austin & Ally his net worth climbed to 3 million dollars.

In 2017, he revealed to Entertainment Weekly that he’s open to working with Disney again one day.

“If Disney would take me I’d love to go back. I love variety. I just like to do all sorts of work.”

3. He felt “at home” filming “My Friend Dahmer” at serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s childhood home.

“My Friend Dahmer” is a movie that takes a look into the high school years of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, and what made him into the ruthless killer he became. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he revealed that he wasn’t creeped out by filming the movie at Jeffrey Dahmer’s childhood home. It’s even where he killed his first victim. Ross Lynch said he prepared himself by being in Dahmer’s “head space” so he felt “at home”. He even became anti-social for a while when he got back to his own home. Talk about immersing yourself in a role. He stands at a staggering height of 6 feet tall. That’s a near-perfect height to match Jeffrey Dahmer’s 6 foot 1 inches. And, obviously, his looks mirror Jeffrey Dahmer’s so well it’s almost scary. It seems like he was the perfect match to portray Jeffrey Dahmer.
