You’ll be mesmerized by his life and how it so closely reflects his time "on the island." Rupert grew up in Central Indiana and always had a love for nature. From his time as a young child to his early years as an adult, Rupert has seen the ups and downs of life. Those experiences are what shaped Rupert’s character, making him the fan favorite on Survivor: All-Stars. After being voted off the show, Rupert garnered 38 million votes, making him the most popular player in the history of the show! Rupert wasn’t done after leaving the island. Long before he was on TV, Rupert Boneham had made a commitment to help underprivileged teens in his community. His stardom helped him to further fund his not-for-profit group, Rupert’s Kids, where the mission is "to empower youth to discover their inner strengths, and to realize their own self worth and their value to society." Rupert continues to have a presence on TV with guest appearances on The Early Show, Regis and Kelly, and The Damon Waynes Show.
