While he is undeniably a big star, Ross Lynch is still coming to terms with how far his fame reaches. He told NME in a May 2020 interview that despite his growing career, which has spanned more than half of his life, he still "hasn't fully processed" the fact that he had 8.4 million Instagram followers at the time of the interview. At the time of this writing, he has since gained 400,000 new fans.
However, he is well aware of the army of teenage fangs that formed while he was a teenager himself. "As time goes on you just learn to accept it, and you just kind of learn to appreciate the fans. You just try to make the best of all the situations you're put into and all the opportunities that come from that," Lynch told CBS. He also recalled one of those "situations," during which the father of a fan got aggressive with him and his brother for not having time to pose for a selfie. Lynch said he's not in it for the fame, anyway. "For me personally it's more about the art, because that's the real reason I'm doing all of this."
His acting skills helped land Lynch his breakout role on the Disney Channel, but he does not let that overshadow the fact that he is also a talented musician.
