Nicholas Perry (Ukrainian: Ніколас Перрі; born May 19, 1992), better known as Nikocado Avocado, is a Ukrainian-born American internet celebrity and YouTuber known for his mukbang videos.

[5] Between 2011 and 2012, he made a living as a freelance violinist and a Home Depot worker, and moved to New York City in 2013 to pursue his dream of playing in a Broadway orchestra.

[3] According to Perry's interview with MEL Magazine in 2021, many of his online conflicts are self-orchestrated for the benefit of his career, citing his past education in performance arts and his desire to play the role of the villain.

[2] However, on September 6, Perry revealed that he had lost over 250 pounds (110 kg) in a video called "Two Steps Ahead", which gained over 26 million views in 48 hours.

In the video, Perry revealed that he secretly lost the weight over the past two years and hid this fact by uploading pre-recorded content during that time, calling it the "greatest social experiment of [his] entire life".

[2] Perry opened the video wearing a giant panda mask, which he said symbolized the world of social media not being as black-and-white as it appears.

"[2] In January of 2025 and following the unveiling of his 250-pound weight loss, Perry revealed to People that he underwent a major facelift procedure to fix his "drooped neck," with Dr. Benjamin (Ben) Talei, a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California.

[12] In February of 2025, Perry told NBC News that he underwent a series of invasive body lift procedures, in which he removed at least 10 pounds of excess skin from his body, performed by plastic surgeon, Dr. Timothy Katzen; for Perry, these operations felt like the final step to closing out a weight loss journey that flabbergasted millions online.

[15] In December 2019, Perry was accused by mukbanger Stephanie Soo of harassing her by sending her text messages and taking photos from inside her home.
