Paramount+’s ‘Wild Boys: Strangers in Town’ delves deep into the strange journey of two brothers, Kyle and Roen Horn, who relocated to the wilderness of Vernon, British Columbia, in 2003, without informing their parents. When they were spotted by a local resident, they weaved a fabricated story about their origins and family background, which captivated the town, but was later revealed to be untrue. The documentary features exclusive, insightful interviews with the Horn family, including Roen Horn, who opened up about his struggles during childhood.
Roen Horn, AKA Will Green, Ran Away to British Columbia With His Brother
Born to Diana and Rodger Horn, Roen Horn grew up alongside his older brother, Kyle Horn, in Roseville, California. While their father worked as a claims adjuster, their mother was employed at a local movie theater. According to the documentary, Roen’s parents were reportedly advised to consider admitting him to a treatment facility owing to concerns about his declining health. The show suggests that in June 2003, he ran away from home to avoid being enrolled in a treatment center.
About a month later, Kyle told his parents that he was moving to Canada. In reality, he and Roen moved to Canada together, while their parents continued to look for him. They hitchhiked and hiked their way across the border and lived in the wilderness of Vernon, British Columbia. When a local woman named Tami Ryder discovered them and helped the two brothers, they told her that they were Tom and Will Green and had been raised in the Canadian wilderness. Ultimately, Tami found the truth and reunited them with their parents. Not only that, but Roen was also taken care of at a hospital, where he gained weight.

After Roen Horn was reunited with his parents, he soon began speaking about healthy living, immortality, futurism, and anti-aging. In order to push forward his ideas, he founded the Eternal Life Fan Club in 2010. A self-proclaimed philosopher, Roen has also created many memes, essays, quotes, and video blogs about living forever, which he shares on his YouTube channel and Facebook page. In 2019, he also launched a venture to produce several formulas containing nutritional supplements, such as iodine and magnesium. As his popularity for his philosophy has grown, he has been invited to speak at numerous conferences and give lectures. Moreover, Roen has interviewed more than 50 people about health-related topics.
Over the years, he has taken a bus trip across the nation with the Transhumanist Party, for whom he served as a documentary videographer. He has also traveled to Pennsylvania to interview people battling Lyme disease. Residing in Roseville, California, the activist and public speaker is not shy of voicing his opinion on his social media platforms. In September 2025, he told his followers that many of his YouTube videos had been flagged and that his channel had been subject to video-posting restrictions, which he attributed to the humanitarian content he posts. Roen also appears to be a die-hard fan of the singer, Kim Walker-Smith.
