Sebastian Castro is one of those names that might not ring a bell immediately—unless, of course, you’ve ever fallen down the rabbit hole of Southeast Asian pop culture or stumbled upon his viral music video, Bubble. A campy, unapologetically gay anthem, Bubble exploded (pun very much intended) across the internet, racking up millions of views and catapulting Castro to online fame. But here’s the thing about Sebastian: his story isn’t just about a song or a one-hit viral wonder. It’s about reinvention, scandal, and a trail of salacious breadcrumbs that some of his fans—and his critics—just can’t stop following.
Let’s dive into it.
Who Is Sebastian Castro?
Born Benjamin Brian Castro on December 22, 1989, Sebastian grew up in New York and Georgia. His life, by any measure, wasn’t easy. His parents—devout Jehovah’s Witnesses—disowned him at 17 when he came out as gay. Imagine that for a second: a teenager, barely out of high school, suddenly cut off from his family. But instead of crumbling under the weight of rejection, Castro pushed forward, putting himself through art school at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Years later, he landed in the Philippines, where he exploded (again, pun intended) into the public eye with Bubble. The music video was playful, raunchy, and unapologetically queer—a bold move in Southeast Asia’s often conservative pop culture landscape. It was a middle finger to the norm and a glittery, fabulous one at that. If you haven’t seen it, go watch it. Seriously. It’s three minutes of Sebastian bouncing around in bubbles and underwear, and somehow, it works.
But fame, as we all know, comes with a price.
Craigslist, Rent.Men, and the Singapore Connection
Here’s where things get, well, juicy. Allegedly—allegedly—Sebastian was no stranger to the seedier corners of the internet. When visiting Singapore, he was often spotted posting on Craigslist and Rent.Men (yes, that Rent.Men) under various pseudonyms. The rumor mill churned hard, claiming he was “pimping himself out” to Singaporean men who, let’s just say, wanted to test his famous Bubble.
And let’s not pretend he was subtle about it. Photos surfaced—salacious, NSFW photos—showing Sebastian in compromising poses that would make even his Bubble video blush. If you know where to look, you can still find them floating around the internet. (No, I’m not linking them here, but let’s just say the search isn’t hard if you’re, you know… curious.)
It’s the kind of scandal that could have easily tanked someone’s career. But Sebastian? He seemed to take it in stride. Maybe he knew the game. Maybe he just didn’t care. Either way, the man has always leaned into controversy with the same energy he brought to his viral music video—bold, unfiltered, and a little bit cheeky.
Love, Loss, and the Public Eye
Sebastian’s personal life has been just as public as his career. In 2014, he went Instagram official with ABS-CBN reporter Ryan Chua. For four years, the two were Southeast Asia’s LGBTQ+ power couple, sharing sweet snaps and jet-setting across the globe together. But like most showbiz relationships, it ended—quietly, but not without speculation.
Then came the rumors about actor and TV host Paolo Ballesteros. Photos of the two surfaced online, sparking gossip about a new romance. But Sebastian, ever the enigma, never confirmed or denied it. Instead, he simply announced (again, vaguely) that a relationship had ended. Who was he talking about? Paolo? Someone else entirely? The man knows how to keep people guessing.
Bursting the Bubble
Here’s the thing about Sebastian Castro: love him or hate him, you can’t deny that he’s lived his life unapologetically. From being disowned as a teenager to becoming a viral sensation, from Instagram romances to Craigslist scandals, he’s never shied away from controversy.
And maybe that’s why people are drawn to him. He’s messy. He’s complicated. He’s human.
Sebastian once said in an interview, “I know there are lots of people out there that are scared to be themselves.” It’s a simple sentiment, but it hits hard when you think about his journey. He’s a reminder that life isn’t always clean or easy, but if you lean into the chaos, you might just find yourself somewhere extraordinary.
So, is Sebastian Castro a scandalous internet celebrity? A queer icon? A Craigslist hustler? Have a look at these photos and draw your own conclusions.
