Cody Johns first rose to fame on the short-form video app Vine, where he amassed over 3 million followers before the platform was shut down. He later transitioned to YouTube, where he co-runs the popular channel Cody & Lexy alongside his wife, Alexys Johns. In addition to his online presence, Cody has acted in films such as I Am Number Four, where he played Kern, and Alexander IRL, where he portrayed Ricketts. He was one of the early adopters of Vine, joining the platform shortly after its launch on the iPhone in January 2013.
