Biography

Arno The Kid, born Arno Van Impe on February 10, 1999, in Overijse, Belgium, is a Belgian YouTuber, presenter, and comedic personality who has risen to fame alongside his older brother, Average Rob (Robert Van Impe). Growing up bilingual with a French-speaking mother and Dutch-speaking father, Arno initially dreamed of becoming a professional footballer. He attended a sports-focused school, but a knee injury at age 16 forced him to pivot. Undeterred, he joined Rob’s creative ventures, starting as a cameraman before stepping into the spotlight as a co-star on the Average Rob YouTube channel, launched in 2020. Known for his youthful energy and willingness to tackle wild challenges, Arno earned the nickname "The Kid" from his early days, a moniker that stuck as he became a fan favorite.

Arno’s journey into content creation kicked off in earnest when he and Rob began producing humorous videos blending extreme sports and everyday absurdity. His breakout moment came with their 2023 "Couch to Ironman" series, where, despite starting overweight at 101 kilos (223 lbs), he shed pounds and completed Ironman Klagenfurt in 15 hours, 39 minutes, and 46 seconds on June 18, 2023—guided by triathlon icons Luc and Frederik Van Lierde. This feat, alongside Rob’s, turned their channel into a sensation, with their final Ironman video racking up over 1.7 million views. Arno’s athletic past and natural charisma shone through, cementing his role as the spirited half of the Van Impe duo.

Beyond Ironman, he’s collaborated with stars like cyclist Mathieu van der Poel and gymnast Nina Derwael, and even co-released a single, "Zaddy," with Lost Frequencies in 2023. Recent X posts hint at his next big challenge: he and Rob are training for the Marathon des Sables, a grueling 250-kilometer Sahara Desert race set for late April 2025, with a new YouTube series in the works. Living in Hoeilaart, Belgium, Arno balances his "kid" persona with a maturing presence, captivating fans with his humor, resilience, and brotherly banter.
