Marlon Lundgren Garcia (7 September 2001), known mononymously as Marlon, is a Swedish internet personality, online streamer and model. He is known for his close friendships with former members of content-gaming organization FaZe, and is a current member of CORE Boys.[2]

Early life and education

Marlon Lundgren Garcia was born in Sweden[3] and is from Malmö.[1] His mother is Spanish and Swedish, and his father is Nigerian and Swedish.[4] He played college basketball at Lower Columbia College in Longview, Washington, in the United States.[1]

Career

Marlon began streaming on Twitch in 2024.[5] He is known for streaming IRL (in real life) content, as well as for frequently collaborating with FaZe Clan members. Prior to gaining wider recognition, Marlon went on a trip to Miami to stream, where he met streamers Lacy and Clix.[5] As of November 2025, Marlon lives in Los Angeles, California, and said that his religious faith is important to him.[6]

In July 2025, Marlon accidentally got Gorilla Glue in his eye while live streaming.[7] Later that year, he visited Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where he met fans, streamed with local creators,[8] and participated in events with other streamers in Boise, Idaho.[9]

Marlon also had actress Natalie Portman's son Aleph on his livestream playing football, with Aleph calling Natalie Portman on FaceTime. The incident was covered in mainstream media, including airing on a Good Morning America segment.[10][11]

He made a cameo appearance in a 2025 music video, "Type Dangerous" by Mariah Carey.[12]

In 2026, Marlon was a cast member on series 3 of the Netflix reality series Inside, hosted by the Sidemen,[13][14] and played in their 2026 Charity Match.[15] Marlon was critical of the way the show was edited to fabricate a strong connection with Indiyah Polack.[16]

In March 2026, Marlon formed media collective CORE Boys with former FaZe members Stable Ronaldo, JasonTheWeen, Lacy, Adapt and Silky.[17] Their house was swatted on the first day they streamed.[18]

Marlon is also a model who has participated in Paris Fashion Week and London Fashion Week.[4][19] On 8 June 2026, Marlon signed with Nike.[20] Vanity Fair included him in a piece about "the state of American style" in August 2026.[21]
