Francis has fans from all walks of life: From KSI, to Metallica who commented, "... and tones for all" on one of his recent videos, suggesting there could be a Metallica/KSI collab on the horizon featuring Francis' tones . Francis recently made a video with Thierry Henry in which he gave him a train whistle. In this TikTok Francis told Thierry about how he was given the whistle from Selhurst train depot, but as he likes to "pass kindness on", he thought he'd give the whistle to Thierry - something we can all take away and apply to our own lives. Along with his famous friends, Francis has amassed a whopping 1.6 million followers on TikTok and 868k on Instagram. Francis really is bringing people together, introducing many to trainspotting through his infectious passion and happiness.Francis Bourgeois gets unparalleled joy from hearing train honks . The laughter he gets from hearing the tones is infectious and displays a true passion for his hobby. The more tones the better for Francis, with laughing fits often following a barrage of honks. The only thing it seems that can bring him more joy is to do the honking himself. He recently attempted to do 100 tones as he passed through a tunnel at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. Sadly he only managed 73, but this is still definitely an achievement.One of the main reasons people are initially drawn to Francis' TikTok page is his use of a GoPro camera strapped to his face - these camera angles feature heavily in all his videos, giving us a strange warped view of his face. These reaction shots are a little bizarre and are one of the quirks that make Francis stand out from other TikTokers. It's unclear why he has chosen to go for these shots: It may be to make him stand out? It may be to fully embrace the weirdness of reaction videos? It could just be a bit of fun? Whatever the reason they are something that make his videos truly unique and we love them.One of the most eye catching things about Francis is his taste in fashion. In his videos he is typically wearing an item of railway uniform, be it a National Rail shirt or a vintage conductors jacket and hat. But he often pairs these items with a nice range of streetwear, from Carhartt trousers to pristine sneakers, and some funky vintage jumpers. This and his single earring make Francis something of a trendsetter - we can picture it already, the slews of people going on to take inspiration from his style in the coming months. Francis may prove to be a true trendsetter, with his unique and funky style.Yes Francis Bourgeois is also a model . Francis is signed to Brother Models –Does Francis Bourgeois know Billie Eilish? Francis has a great sense of humour. He doesn't take himself too seriously, as is clear in his videos. He first attracted attention on TikTok through posting a couple of fake Instagram Live interviews with Billie Eilish and the British rapper Swarmz. These videos are actually pretty convincing. Whilst Billie never responded, Swarmz wasn't too pleased about the video, reposting it and branding Francis a "weirdo", to which Francis' fans retaliated. It is clear from this that right from the start Francis' videos weren't supposed to be taken completely seriously - and with all the seriousness in the world at the moment, Francis is bringing some much needed silliness to the table.Outside of trainspotting, Francis loves attending music festivals with his friends. He recently went to The Warehouse Project in Manchester, where he starred in a promotional video for the event. Whilst some may not have thought this to be his scene, Francis embraced it and rocked his normal attire.Francis Bourgeois is currently studying mechanical engineering at the University of Nottingham. Following his degree he wants to go into railway engineering and infrastructure engineering. He said on This Morning that he wants to contribute his "passion for trains and also engineering to make the railway network a better place for everyone". This statement earned a round of applause from Holly and Phil, and so it should - it is a noble goal and shows how our passions can be followed into our professional lives.Francis has recently quit his job to pursue his hobby full time. He revealed this in a recent Instagram Story where he claimed, "Today I quit my job to do trainspotting full time". Once again he proves what can happen when you follow your passions. As well as being great news for Francis this is great news for us, as it means there will be even more incredible trainspotting content on the horizon. The job he left is unknown, but it seems his success on TikTok is what has allowed him to make this change.Back in December of 2021 Francis confirmed he was in a relationship with Amy Linkin, a student studying Communication with Business Studies at the University of Brighton. Francis announced the news on TikTok when he referred to Amy as his girlfriend. Many of his fans were devastated to hear that he was no longer on the market and took to the comment section to voice their feelings. Things seem to be going well for Francis and Amy, as the two of them recently walked the NME Awards red carpet together .
