Charlotte Dobre Back Story: bio, age, ethnicity, husband, net worth

Charlotte Dobre Back Story

Charlotte Dobre’s career journey goes all the way back to her ‘very early’ love for performance. Now, growing up in Canada, she was that kid who loved the spotlight; so she performed in musical theatre at school, and later joined school productions during her college years at University of Victoria.

Her passion soon turned professional when she began hosting for the popular Canadian YouTube news channel, “InformOverload,” in Winter 2016. Looking at our timeline, she was 26 years old at that time.

Cue into this: she spent four years there, from Winter 2016 to Fall 2020; as a writer, comedian, and on-screen host, becoming one of the faces people recognized on trending news videos on the channel… at that time.

Now, by Fall 2020; just in time before her 31st birthday, she quit her job at InformOverload, and created her own YouTube channel, where she started sharing her reactions, comedy takes, and lifestyle content. Although, more recently, while she still does reaction videos, she focuses more on reacting to real-life stories from Reddit and #StoryTime content from TikTok.

Beyond YouTube, Charlotte Dobre is also a trained actress and singer who has, since her career took off the Spring of 2013, appeared in commercials for Starbucks, Hilton Hotels, Turbo Tax, and Credit Karma.

Her on-screen talent, combined with her humor, has helped her build a loyal fan base of millions across TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.

Now, Charlotte was born on September 7, 1989, and is currently 36 years old. So, no… she is not Gen Z; she is Millennial. But not to worry, The GenZStars Team will go ‘head and tell you everything else we found out about her, regardless. :))

Looking at our timeline; Charlotte graduated high school in 2007, just in time before she turned 18, and began her undergraduate studies in the Fall of the same year. She was nearly 22 years old at the time she graduated college in 2011.

Her curiosity for deeper acting skills led her to the New York Film Academy between 2012 and 2013, where she trained under well-known instructors like Isaac Byrne and Lea Brandenburg. Later, she took advanced acting courses at The Pro Actor’s Lab in Toronto.

Apparently, all that training shaped the confidence and screen presence people now see on her channel.
