Nearly a year after drawing ire for his "suicide forest" video, controversial YouTuber Logan Paul says his career is far from over.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Paul opened up about his life and career in the wake of the infamous video featuring a suicide victim in Japan's Aokigahara forest which Paul posted on his YouTube channel on New Year's Day. The video almost immediately drew out, leading to a myriad of professional repercussions – including getting one's list of stars "canceled" by the internet. It's a claim that Paul outright rejects.

"Good luck trying to cancel me," Paul said. "It's so easy for anyone to be like, 'Logan Paul just ended up, he's done.' But it's only going to be decided that it's true, but I like it, but I like it, but that's the way I like it, it's creating it's my pbadion. "

And Paul might not be wrong when it comes to his "canceled" status. Despite his personal life taking a break with a breakup Agents of SHIELD star Chloe Bennet, his professional life is slowly getting back on track. Earlier this month, YouTube Premium (formerly known as YouTube Red) released The Thinning: New World Order, a sequel to the service's 2016 dystopian thriller, The Thinning, in which Paul starred.

The story was a controversial Aokigahara forest video and there was no update on the movie's Paul's channel. Paul also shared it on Twitter, writing "surprise" along with a devil emoji. The film's release, Paul, is presently in good standing with the platform's policies. Paul was also looking at the future of his creative works – a future that could take him away from the world of podcasting with his soon-to-launch Impaulsive.

"If I'm going to do something, I might as well go for it," Paul said.
