About Celisa “CJ” Franco:
Celisa “CJ” Franco is a comedic model and on-screen personality known for her sharp wit, striking beauty, and effortless charm. She’s appeared alongside some of the biggest names in comedy, including Trevor Wallace, Nikki Glaser, Daniel Tosh, Adam W, Brent Pella, Nicky Howard, Stevie Emerson, Anwar Jibawi, and the viral Content Machine creators Tyler John Perry and Mike Mazzitelli. From TikTok to TV, from your phone screen to your living room flat screen—if she looks familiar, it’s because you’ve definitely seen her.
She rose to national prominence on HBO Max’s FBoy Island, where her deadpan delivery and fearless honesty drew praise from Time, Vulture, and Maxim. Since then, she’s made appearances on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Amazon Prime’s The GOAT, while continuing to grow her online presence as a standout comedic force.
A well-traveled content creator, CJ partners with top influencers around the world to develop bold, high-impact travel content. Despite her resume, she remains a “girl’s girl”—relatable, self-aware, and the kind of person who can own a room without ever needing to announce it.
Her range as a performer is equally undeniable. She trained under supermodel Coco Rocha (who mentors stars like Kendall Jenner), while also completing fight choreography with Tony Surpham and weapons training with Taran Tactical, the same team behind some of the most iconic action roles in Hollywood.
CJ also devotes her platform to causes close to her heart. She works with Foster Love, providing essentials and support to youth in the foster care system; Mercy For Animals, promoting awareness to end animal cruelty; and PETA, where she advocates for ethical treatment and conscious living.
She’s got a soft spot for good wine, great dogs, and even better lighting. Her carry-on’s always half-packed, her passport suspiciously full, and her schedule somehow balances fight choreography with fashion week. She’s equal parts polished and unhinged -in a way that still shows up on time and nails the shot.
