Happy Birthday To Tyler Johnson

Tyler Johnson was born on August 13 in Washington D.C., but grew up in nearby Gaithersburg, MD.

During his audition for Gardener of Eden, he was offered a role on the spot by actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who was also producing the film.

His full name is W. Tyler Johnson. “The W stands for William. My mom’s reasoning at the time was she wanted children with presidential-sounding names,” the actor told Digest.  

Johnson has modeled for Abrecrombie & Fitch and appeared in Italian Vogue and VMAN magazines.

The actor used to watch Y&R when he stayed home from school.
