O'Hurn attended nine different schools in Orange County, Palm Springs, and San Bernardino, California, causing his education to suffer.

At the age of 12, he knew he wanted to become an actor. O'Hurn starred in his first play as "Jack" from 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.[5] which taught him the value of customer service and helped him overcome his natural shyness.In a 2015 interview with Buzzfeed, he said: "Don't get me wrong. I like Abercrombie. There's nothing wrong with them. They're awesome. It's just... That wasn't my dream, you know. That's not my goal. That's not what I was passionate about."
He used to manage a moving company with his brother, when he was 18.[7]
O'Hurn started training clients online in 2015, charging $100 to $150 for a month's worth of programs, which is what he was living on when he moved to Los Angeles.
O'Hurn gained international fame through his Instagram account where he was recognized for his height, physique and for popularizing the man bun. He admitted that he was confused by the sudden fame saying, "I was like, 'Is this a joke? Do I just have to keep lifting people? This is my life?'"[8] His mother's boyfriend, David "Dave" Harris, is his manager and also the Vice President of his company O'Hurn Media Inc. since January 2016.[9]
In 2015, he worked for LG Electronics to model for their LG Tone Active Headphones.[10] O'Hurn worked with Tyler Perry in his 2016 film Boo! A Madea Halloween, making his acting debut as frat boy Horse. He reprised the role in the sequel Boo 2! A Madea Halloween (2017). He also stars in Perry's television series Too Close to Home.[11]
