But you’ll also see Rock’s beloved flock of chickens, a pack of bully-breed dogs, and scenic views from his home base in Hawaii. Rock, 27, first popped up on Vine and later YouTube, infusing his short- and long-form content with humor and tons of natural charisma, and developing a significant following as an early beauty creator. Now, he’s added a new, more down-to-earth side to his content. With hilarious videos about naming baby peacocks or applying false lashes to his chickens so they look more like him—not to mention the [farmland video](https://www.tiktok.com/@bretmanrock/video/7480290224631729439?is%5Ffrom%5Fwebapp=1&sender%5Fdevice=pc) that won him the 2025 TikTok Video of the Year Award—Rock’s content is a reminder of how living in harmony with nature can make life more beautiful. **Correction, July 14** The original version of this story incorrectly described Rock's place of residence. He has lived in Hawaii since childhood; he did not move there from California. _Powered by Whalar Group_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collection/time100-creators/2026/bretman-rock/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collection/time100-creators/2026/bretman-rock/"},"headline":"Bretman Rock","datePublished":"2026-07-14T11:30:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-07-14T20:45:27.000Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collection/time100-creators/2026/bretman-rock/","keywords":["TIME100 Creators","list"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb7fa1053c4344441/6a5625616a33e5820c262b9e/s-time-100-creators-2026-Bretman-Rock.JPG?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kara Nesvig","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/kara-nesvig/"}],"creator":"Kara Nesvig","articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb7fa1053c4344441/6a5625616a33e5820c262b9e/s-time-100-creators-2026-Bretman-Rock.JPG?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time100-creators/","name":"TIME100 Creators"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collection/time100-creators/2026/bretman-rock/","name":"Bretman Rock"}}]}] ```
