Both Link and Rhett have appeared on the kids show "Jelly Telly" many times as a singing duo known as The Fabulous Bentley Brothers.Rhett strongly hates anything from Albertsons. Rhett likes sports and hates when people say "Go Sports!" It begins before seven AM on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and, due to the circumstances, made Rhett decide to go with his hair "going whatever way it was when I woke up." Rhett was lightly made fun of by the instructor, telling him to stay away from her as if he is there to pick up women despite his age and marital status. He has an older brother named Cole.Īs of January 2013 as a new year's resolution, Rhett acquired a gym membership for himself and joined an hour-long co-ed P90X (aerobics) class. He is the second child of Diane and Jim McLaughlin. Rhett married Jessie Lane in 2001 and they have two sons named Locke (born February 24, 2004) and Shepherd (born in 2009). Quote “I wouldn’t even let China have my beard, let alone a billion dollar bribe.” Rhett has said he would be willing to pay a billion dollars to keep his beard. He was later laid off from this job but had been planning to leave anyway to pursue a life of entertainment with his best friend. He graduated and spent some time working for Black & Veatch. Rhett attended North Carolina State University where he roomed with Link and two other friends, Gregg and Tim, and studied civil engineering. In 1999, Rhett wrote "The Tragedy," which recorded in detail the events surrounding a snowboarding accident that left Link with a broken pelvis and, more notably, a month's worth of memory loss. However, they shot only a few scenes and the film was left unfinished. At fourteen they wrote a screenplay entitled Gutless Wonders and began its film production. Little did they know that the incident would define the course of their lives.Įven as children both Rhett and Link applied their creativity by performing skits and "interviewing" each other as different characters. They spent the time coloring pictures of mythical beasts. Second-grader Rhett McLaughlin met his classmate and to-be lifelong friend, Link Neal, in 1984 at Buies Creek Elementary School in Buies Creek, North Carolina when the two were held in from recess for writing "hel" and "dam" on their desks, misspelled. Link revealed in an episode of Good Mythical Morningthat when Rhett was younger he competed in three beauty pageants (although Rhett "claims" that never happened.) Rhett is very tall, like his mother. Rhett has one brother named Cole who is three years older than him. In 1984 they moved to Buies Creek, North Carolina, where his dad became a law professor at Campbell University. His family then moved to Thousand Oaks California until Rhett was 5. He lived there until around the age of three. Rhett James McLaughlin was born in Macon, Georgia USA, on October 11th, 1977.
