Now: Chris has been incredibly busy since 2007 releasing an EP entitled The First Bite and having a brief stint as an adult entertainer; the good-looking young man has also done a spree of modelling for American Apparel. These days he's still living in Tennessee and working in the entertainment business - but the fame that came with his viral video wasn't always positive. On the 10 year anniversary of the video, he posted a heartfelt essay on Instagram, detailing the abuse he went through after it was published.

Rebecca Black

Now: Rebecca has stopped singing about different days of the week, instead these days croons about all sorts of other things. After continuing with her YouTube career, regularly posting videos on her channel, the 20-year-old woman had a fresh start in 2016 with her music career, releasing a song called The Great Divide. Since then we've had a flurry of new material including Foolish and Heart Full of Scars. Unfortunately, none of her new tunes have had as much success as Friday.

CPDRC Dancing Inmates

Then:

Now: Although we cannot account for every single inmate who featured in the video, we can tell you that that dance program is still going strong and was even launched at other prison facilities, references by TV shows and featured in several documentaries. In fact, a few years ago, 12 former members of the crew formed a group of their own under the guidance of former Capitol security consultant Byron Garcia and began accepting bookings and invitations from their many, many fans. So next time you need to book an act for a party, look no further.

David After Dentist

Then:

Now: Eight years later, David has recovered from his trip to the dentist and is winning in life, having attended private school thanks to the profits gained from the footage. "Yeah, we've made a little bit of money thanks to YouTube and their partner program," Dad revealed. "But it's all gone to, you know, help the family, and particularly help William [David's brother] and David stay in private school." Not bad for one dad's recording of his kid's post-dentist trauma. Check out what David's looking like these days here.
