Claims analyzed
Caleb is seven years old now — Sketchy (30/100)
At 0:30
Guessed 'seven now' like it's current intel — kid's been 10+ for a year, this take is fossilized 💀🕰️😭
Why this score: Outdated info — Caleb Hayes was around 7 when he first blew up on Ellen, but that's ancient history.
- As of 2025, he's 10; by April 2026, 10-11 per public records.
- Video likely shows older clip, speaker didn't fact-check age. *Common YouTuber slip, but c'mon.*
Original quote: “I don't know how old this kid is but I think he's seven now his name is Caleb probably everybody knows him and he has posted a video playing disaster Pieces by slipnot”
