TikTok’s Jake Shane Recalls ‘Wild’ Moment Sophie Turner Wore His Merch
Jake Shane has quickly become one of TikTok’s most beloved creators, even getting the attention of A-listers like Sophie Turner. “I was like, ‘I literally don’t even know what’s happening,’” Shane, 24, exclusively told Us Weekly of Turner, 27, being spotted wearing his long sleeve “Puss Casino” T-shirt in September. “I was in bed and I was like, ‘What?’ It was wild.” The Los Angeles based content creator, who’s known as @octopusslover8 on the social media app, explained that he had been working on a skit with the Jonas Brothers and sent them merch after. “I was like, ‘I’m just going to put one in for Sophie Turner,’ because Joe Jonas had told me that he found my account through his wife,” Shane told Us. “And so I put one in for Sophie Turner, and I never thought she’d get it.” (Jonas, 34, and Turner have since split.)
