Juju 'Straw Hat Goofy' Green Signs With CAA

By Katcy Stephan

Juju Green, better known by his social media handle “Straw Hat Goofy,” has signed with CAA.

With more than four billion views, Green has earned the title of TikTok’s “Movie Guy,” building an audience of 3.5 million followers in just two years.

Green independently launched the podcast Get Rec’d, featuring candid conversations with celebrities and movie fans alike. Current and upcoming guests include Halle Berry, Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Mike Mitchell, James McAvoy, Chris Sanders, Daniel Kaluuya, Walker Scobell and Ryan Coogler.

In the past two years, he has hosted or worked on campaigns for numerous multinational brands looking to reach his audience, including major studios, networks and streamers, plus Walmart, Hasbro, Verizon and Noovieverse, where he is seen daily on more than 15,000 cinema screens across the U.S.

“I just want to make more connections and find out more about what people want to see when it comes to the film community,” Green told Variety earlier this year of his ultimate career goals. “One of the big things that I want to do is hopefully start a film festival of my own. Maybe a film convention. We see anime conventions all the time. There’s even a ‘Doctor Who’ convention. There’s Comic-Con, which is a combination of everything, but there’s really not a fan-facing movie convention that people can go to. I really want to be the spearhead for something like that.”

Green continues to be represented by David M. Rudy of Armada Partners; Chad M. Christopher of Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher; and PAL Public Relations.
