The Real Life Guys Bio
The Real Life Guys are a German YouTube duo who are known for their DIY projects and experiments. They are twin brothers Johannes and Philipp Mickenbecker, who were born on June 27, 1997 in Hessen, Germany.
They started their YouTube channel in 2016. Some of their most popular projects include building a submarine out of a bathtub, a flying bathtub drone, a tank out of a hand cart, a human-powered plane out of a bike, and a roller coaster in a hardware store. Their channel has millions of subscribers and over 250 million views. They also have a second channel called Life Lion, where they document their personal lives and adventures.
The Real Life Guys have faced many challenges and tragedies in their lives. Their sister Elisabeth, who was also involved in their projects, died in a plane crash in 2018, shortly before her 19th birthday. Philipp was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2013 and had several relapses over the years. He announced his terminal condition in October 2020 and passed away on June 9, 2021 at the age of 23.
