On 15 June 2011, his YouTube channel charlieissocoollike became the first in the UK to reach one million subscribers, and in May 2013, his channel reached two million subscribers. As a musician, McDonnell was a member of Doctor Who-themed rock band Chameleon Circuit and was also a member of the short-lived project Sons of Admirals until it was disbanded in May 2011. In 2010, McDonnell released his debut solo album, titled This Is Me. McDonnell began directing short films in May 2013, and currently co-hosts the weekday morning YouTube breakfast show Cereal Time with fellow YouTube vlogger Jimmy Hill. In 2016, he published his first book, Fun Science.
McDonnell was born and raised in Bath, Somerset to parents Lindsey and Mark. He has two siblings: his younger brother, William, and his younger sister, Bridie. He was educated at Beechen Cliff School, a state comprehensive foundation school in Bath. He identifies as an atheist. McDonnell used to live with fellow video blogger Alex Day, but currently resides in his own apartment in London with his girlfriend.
In July 2012, McDonnell made a video announcing his relationship with then-girlfriend, fellow YouTuber, Bryarly Bishop. They broke up in June 2013. Charlie's current girlfriend is Emily Diana Ruth, a fellow YouTuber and filmmaker.
In March 2014, McDonnell announced on his blog that he has terminated his friendship and cohabitation with Alex Day, stating that "I just don’t feel able to call Alex a friend of mine anymore", following allegations that Alex sexually manipulated, emotionally abused, and cheated on past girlfriends.
