Who Is Francis Bourgeois, The Internet's Charming Train Enthusiast?

Since he blew up, the Gen-Z star has had plenty of opportunities to show off his lovably goofy personality, including in the 2022 show “Trainspotting with Francis Bourgeois.” The premise of the show revolved around Bourgeois meeting a different celebrity each episode and letting them know about the magic of trainspotting. Guests included comedian and actor Aisling Bea, Olympian diver Tom Daley, and singer Sam Ryder. It received relatively positive reviews, mostly for Bourgeois’ charming obsession with trains rather than his ease of conversation or natural hosting skills.

Moreover, Bourgeois became an author in late 2022 with the publication of “The Trainspotter’s Notebook.” Bourgeois also consistently posts collaborations with different brands, including Train Sim and theme park Legoland, not to mention the constant invites to try out and review different trains. However, despite his success, Bourgeois has been subject to questions about his love of trains — and whether he’s putting on an act for his videos.
