Who Is QCP? TikTok Pasta Guy Going Viral For His Unique Cooking Style

Publish date: 2023-12-09

QCP is a Tiktok star and social media influencer known for his unique TikTok videos.

He has amassed 10.8 million followers on his TikTok account, which has his highest amount of followers, followed by his Youtube, which has 2.12 million subscribers, then his Instagram, which has 873K followers, and lastly, his Twitter, which has 8,694 followers, and seems to have been defunct since October 27, 2020.

QCP has massed a large following for two things: his amazing body and his unconventional cooking style. His cooking videos are very enjoyable to watch as they have a lot of cuts, transitions, and weird, if not lewd, motions.

Though he's mostly known for cooking pasta, the Tiktok star has cooked many different foods. Some are also Italian, like spaghetti, while others are more varied and different, like salmon, strawberry sorbet, and KFC nuggets, to name a few.

Quick Info: 

Who Is QCP On TikTok?

TikTok star QCP is 22 years old and was born on January 11, 2000, in North Carolina.

He became famous through a series of TikTok videos called "The Angry New Jersey Cooking Show."

In this series of videos, QCP assumed a character who would show viewers how to cook Italian dishes angrily. 

The character began in January 2000 and launched the Tiktoker's success. People quickly started sharing his videos on other platforms, adding more followers to QCP's follower list. The TikTok star started branching out and making videos as himself but retained the humor and vitriol of the videos from the Angry series.

As he became increasingly famous, he started collaborating with other TikTokers, the first being Marco Borghi and Vinnie Hacker.

Marco Borghi is an Italian American Tiktok star who goes by the username polo boy and is known for his lipsyncing videos. Vinnie Hacker is known for the same. They each collaborated with QCP on his videos in a comedic manner, helping him cook.

These two collaborations would start a tradition for the channel where a new guest would come and help QCP cook in a comedic manner due to their personalities either gelling well or not gelling well but the tension providing the comedy. 

Outside of his cooking and collaborations, QCP is also associated with the Dean Martin song "That's Amore," from the third episode of his "The Angry New Jersey Cooking Show," and has become something of his theme song.

As of the writing of this article, QCP is edging closer and closer to 11 million subscribers and will probably reach that goal by year's end.

QCP Comes Under Fire For Problematic Videos

One of the reasons why QCP stopped making "The Angry New Jersey Cooking Show" was due to the controversy surrounding it.

To be clear, while the series had nothing controversial, QCP thought he could replicate its success by making other series and characters like "the angry ghetto girl" and a "ghetto African American man."

His rise to popularity was almost halted at the discovery of his racially insensitive video because while people were sharing his videos on other social media platforms and having a laugh, others were sharing the other videos and condemning him. Thankfully, the backlash reached the man, and he quickly stopped making such videos and started making videos himself.

What Is QCP's Real Name?

TikTok star QCP's real name is Gianluca Conte, which he revealed in a Q&A on his Youtube channel.

As mentioned above, he was born in North Carolina and raised in the same state in Charlotte. 

He has three sisters, and the family is of Italian American descent as his father is from Naples, Italy.

QCP's love for pasta comes from his love of Italian cooking and cuisine. In the Q&A mentioned earlier video, he mentioned that if he could only eat one food for the rest of his life, it would be pasta.

The man has stood by that saying, as in his TikTok channel, he has created more than several variations on pasta to much success. 

The TikTok star's mother is a big part of his channel as she occasionally comes and helps him out in various videos. The two always seem to have a good time, and in an effort not to be too lewd in front of his mother, QCP tones down his content for her sake.

The man has said he's loved cooking Italian food for as long as he can remember. He also loves music, as QCP came from his musical moniker.

He has made three albums: Mixed Emotions, Repeat, and Mute. The former two came out in 2018, and the latter came out in 2019. 

Two of his most popular songs, Is This Real and Yolo, have 826,044 and 146,274 plays on Spotify, respectively. 

The TikTok star has seemingly given up on his music following his TikTok fame.

Does QCP Have A Girlfriend?

Tiktok star QCP does not have a girlfriend; if he does, he has not publicly revealed his relationship.

He has no shortage of suitors, though, as his amazing physique and humor have made it so that his comments are full of people, men, women, or otherwise, thirsting after him. 

Though the content creator does not have a girlfriend, he has also been private about that aspect of his life, and although he's often open about his physique and muscles, the same cannot be said about his heart.

Still, QCP's physique is nothing to scoff at either, as the man is a regular gym-goer and has even earned some modeling credits. He has modeled for brands like Moschino and Alexander Wang.

Next Models Management currently manages QCP. Working with Moschino was a good look for his brand, as QCP is proudly Italian-American and Moschino is proudly Italian.

When the TikTok star posted pictures of his shoot with Moschino, many comments agreed that the two looked good together. 

The Alexander Wang shoot was even more of a good look for his brand as the shoot was entirely food-based. The most prominent pictures had QCP naked aside from a pair of light underwear.

The first picture had him pour ketchup on a hotdog, with the liquid pouring down his arm and the second had him about to eat salad on top of a dishwasher. 

Both photoshoots were a big success and did a lot to expand QCP's profile outside of being a TikTok creator. 

How Much Is QCP's Net Worth?

QCP has a net worth estimated to be between $400,000 and $600,000 as of 2022.

Most of his wealth comes from his TikTok channel, which has almost 11 million followers on social media. He is very successful and has many loyal followers. Many people have high follower counts, but low average view counts, while almost all QCP's videos get millions of views.

All but the most recent video on his channel has crossed more than a million views, and even that video is at 256.5K, and it's not a surprise if it crosses a million in a day or so.

His view counts are consistently high because of his unique way of presenting his videos. As mentioned above, he uses a lot of cool cuts and transitions that make the videos fun to watch.

Also, his impressive physique and lewd behavior bring in many people who watch his videos for reasons outside of his cooking.

Besides TikTok, QCP also makes money off of Youtube. He posts his TikToks as Youtube shorts on the website, and his most popular video has 45 Million views. 

More than 200 videos on his Youtube channel have reached or passed a million views. 

Lastly, his modeling is another big source of income for the TikTok star. Both Moschino and Alexander Wang are huge luxury brands and paid a pretty penny to have the influencer model for them.

As he has signed to a modeling management agency, the TikTok star will appear in many more ad campaigns, but that's up to the future. 

Though only 22 years old, QCP has achieved a lot in his short career and is a great example of finding one's path in something one didn't initially expect.

He initially wanted to be a musician but has since found success in something very different.
