every fitness celebrity influencer is lying to you.. 

Thank you so much for sharing my message and for speaking on this topic🙌🏼For the vast majority of people they don’t know that these celebrities are lying. THANK YOU PEWDIEPIE!!!🙏🏼

Great to see a callout from a guy with such a massive audience.

This is basically the equivalent of female celebrities denying the smallest of procedures over and over. I hate how when anybody points this out, they get immediately shut down by the fans going “Ok but it’s their body so why are you pressed? They don’t have to talk about it” Well, if they affect their audience’s body image AND make money off lying, then obviously it’s a problem

Respect to Robert Pattinson for telling the big studios 'No' to all this. He worked out but stayed natural when it came to him playing Batman

Most who have trained naturally for many years see through the fitness celebrity lies, but for "unfit" people looking in, they can't tell and it can really mess with some people mentally. Glad Felix is talking about problems like these as this particular topic has been in discussion within the fitness industry for a while, but doesn't easily reach the more mainstream audience

Oh I wonder where people get this stuff, asking for a friend. Also, Chris's secret is he always skips leg day.

“If it looks unnatural then it’s unnatural”. Complete facts. Hopefully this reaches a lot of people! Transparency is key when it comes to any influencer, when it comes to fitness or not. Thanks for being you!

“Getting fit takes time, there’s nothing wrong with that” - Pewds

Pewdiepie is a great example of a good influencer. Using his platform to educate the audience on important topics that other influencers and celebrities don't talk about. There is 0 sugar coating on his videos and I just love him for that

Everyone else: "happy new year!" Pewds: "they're taking 3 gummy bears" Pewds mindset is beyond our mortal time

I’m so glad someone who isn’t a “fitness” influencer or creator talking about this because most of the time it stays in the fitness community. Thank you Felix.

for those wondering, pewdiepie is taking a break; he usually takes a month long break every january apparently

Honesty is rare nowadays. Thank you pewds and thanks to Noel for being honest.

“If it looks unnatural then it is” YUP! I’ve recently had to explain this to my husband about women who get surgery to look a certain way. Yes, they also work out, and do their best to stay healthy…. But uhhhh….. AINT NOBODYS BUTT LOOKS LIKE THAT! 😂

Pewdiepie isn't even a fitness influencer and is way better than 95% of the "fitness influencers" on social media. Respect Edit: 95% is a bit of a exaggeration but you get the message.

As a person who does enjoy lifting and working out, I appreciate you speaking out on this. The social media fitness culture at this point is peak cancer IMO. Not mentioning how oversaturated it is at this point with influencers and wannabe influencers.

You’re 100% right. He was signaling that he wasn’t going to do steroids for the role. He was definitely still working out

I always think it’s crazy what actors do to make themself look as shredded as possible in movies. I remember hugh Jackman said that for Wolverine, he dehydrated himself for certain scenes so his skin wouldn’t be as hydrated and thick and more thinly rest on his muscles for a more cut look. He states that this could be dangerous and he had to be monitored by professionals when he did this. It’s that kind of crap that creates an unrealistic image in peoples minds that is ultimately impractical to obtain. I appreciated the fact that Robert Pattinson didn’t get super cut and swole for The Batman.

The rock definitely on 2 gummy bears

This is similar to women selling fitness programs when they got a BBL, or celebrities promoting a skincare routine that they “swear by” when they got plastic surgery and get regular professional facial treatments 🤨 Celebrities and influencers need to be more transparent because we are the audience they’re trying to sell to. False advertisement is absolutely wrong and a crime against humanity. Edit; Never said it’s the same thing to steroid usage, I said it’s similar. The point I’m making is that whether you’re a male or female, you can be a victim to false advertisement. Even if you don’t buy their products, it’s not right to make us feel like we didn’t win the genetic lottery. Telling people they’re stupid for “falling for it” is exactly what these companies want, which is to make us feel inferior. Be kind and spread awareness ❤️

The real issue is that it’s been going on for so many decades that it has actually skewed the general public’s perception of what a natural physique is.

Master chief on steroid is the most canon thing

“I have an audience that normally isn’t too into fitness” *I’ve been called out*

takes a lot of guts to call out literally every celebrity ever lmao

I respect how pewdiepie is talking about fitness and working out on his channel and giving a positive message to the audience as well as calling out the Bull shit that happens in the industry.

My biggest gripe with that is the fact that it skews perspective of everyone. My favourite example of that was when someone said that Jason Mamoa had a "Dad bod" because he wasn't pumped for a month and his 6pack wasn't bulging.

As someone who is a casual gym goer, very into 'fitness' it is brilliant to see Pewds telling his audience this. There are so many myths and deception in the industry that even regular gym goers don't know, let alone someone who doesn't. There are some people who are realistic and give good advice (Noel is such a good example - and I see Back Guy and Greg in the comments). But the industry is plagued with misinformation. Pewds doing a great service once again.

I get celebrities using steroids but I really appreciate celebrities getting called out for being a facade and convincing young people that they can obtain something unobtainable.

Not going to lie, as a person who has been working out for 10 years now (currently 28), the amount of times I got depressed not reaching these people's physique levels was ridiculous. At the beginning of 2021 I realized how many people lie about this. I came to that realization and stopped comparing myself to them. I have been having the best workouts and my mental health also has been better. To anyone (especially if you're starting to workout etc.) this cannot be more true. Just keep going, do it for your own health and longevity. Sincerely, a younger male who put too much pressure on himself for too long. Edit: Thank you all for the generous comments below! I hope that you all have a wonderful New Year. Cheers!

2:25 Daddy Noel is the GOAT

I just love the fact that Pewdiepie doesn't sugarcoat. He's like a brother. I really appreciate this content like it is on a different level.

I used to work in the bodybuilding/fitness industry as a photoshop retoucher. The things I had to do to maintain the top bodybuilder's image was insane. From photoshopping heavier weights to removing injection marks to making them more vascular. Crazy!

long time no vids hope you are doing fine man.

ive suffered from eating disorders for 14-15 years. a lot of my body shape issues came from this standard that has been set and believing that they attained these physiques naturally really didnt help. i could have done with this transparency a long time ago so good on pewds for spreading awareness of this issue

You know it's rough when PewDiePie talks out on it 😂😂 this has gotten so much talk in the fitness community. Good to know it's getting exposed

This is essentially the Male version of plastic surgery for women. They say everything in their power to deny it and even go as far as lying to themselves about it. (Yes I know men get plastic surgery as well)

Glad to know that pewdiepie is talking about unrealistic expectations and how celebrities lie about reaching things “naturally” when it’s not true . People become self conscious and lose self esteem

I honestly didn't know how prevalent it is for celebrities to be juiced. Obviously Arnold was on steroids, that's pretty much common knowledge. But so many influencers and celebs just don't talk about it or lie, and make it seem like they got natural results. It makes me feel better that I shouldn't look like that in my fitness goals, and that it's unrealistic to go after a physique for myself that looks like The Rock. And to me it's not really that attractive. I like more the anime look. Goku is a bit beefy and unrealistic, but the soul reapers from Bleach seems realistic. Lean but strong. Might be an idea to keep a photo on hand of someone natural that I want to emulate rather than looking at juiced up influencers.

I'm so happy that Felix talks about that stuff, it;s such a taboo topic in Hollywood and people truelly are not aware of how popular steroids are there. When I said Kumail is 100% juiced up on Twitter I was literally called "rasist" and people were argueing that "I'm not aware what amazing genes Indian men have and how fast they grew muscles" like what? People seriously are making up this ridiculous excuses cause they don't what to face the fact that they idols are using streoids.

People who keep asking "where are you", he said multiple times he takes a break in January. It's like, almost every year. Dude needs to rest and spend time with his wife, friends and pets. Chill. January is almost over, The King is coming back next week

Finally someone with an audience speaking the truth. Been working out almost a decade and doing martial arts and the amount of people using PEDs in gyms is astronomical. So when I see these celebs looking like that and talking about eating chicken and broccoli makes me laugh my ass off. People actually believing them are even worse.

So many people don't know this. I was talking to a girl about the unrealistic expectations on women. I said it happens to men as well, and she didn't believe me when I said most celebrities that are jacked are on gear

When Rock doesn't talk about steroids, for me it's equal to lying.

This also reminds me of how female, and also male, but more commonly female celebrities lie about plastic surgery. I remember that one female celebrity who claimed her whole face changed because of Japanese potatoes. It just feels so wrong to see them sell this idea to the young teenagers who idolize them, of just eat like me or work out like me, and buy all my shit, and you'll look like me.

us girls also experience the same thing with celebrities like the kardashians selling lipsticks and waist trainers when they've all had some kind of surgery and boys are also getting affected by this kind of unrealistic "beauty standards" too!

For someone who got discouraged many times because I didn't see the results I was expecting while working out this video was such a comforting hug and an eye-opener. I really needed that and I am so glad Felix has spoken up about this issue, I have unmeasurable amounts of respect for him

Noel is my favorite fitness influencer. He is honest about the things he uses and actually gives great workout tips

I don’t think people realize just how smart and compassionate Felix is. I really love how he’s been using his channel to both spead positive messages and impact positive organizations through donations. He’s so open and honest about things too. The Internet needs more people like him

A lot of attention and focus has gone to female body positivity, plus size models, unrealistic body expectations, runway models and all that, but all those same issues exist for men as well, but another issue for men is not being able to talk about such issues. Reading about those male actors dehydrating themselves to attain a certain aesthetic, seeing girls thinking that Jason Mamoa has a dad bod whilst still being incredibly buff and muscular shows how warped perspective is on the male body as well.

Goku is on those Senzu Beans

Pewds for YT CEO. ✊

cant believe this was finally called out, i really hope this goes viral, this whole topic goes beyond just making money from fake information, it builds society standards, body dysmorphia on young people, standards that have affected the lives of countless teenagers, not just males, its a bigger deal than it seems, and couldn't be happier that pewds called it out.

Kumail didn’t use steroids, he just wore Goku’s weighted clothing.

Really appreciate you shedding light to this. I had an argument with my mom about Hugh Jackman cause she thinks he's natty lol

Seeing all these positive comments for Pewds makes me really happy he’s got such a great fanbase.

Im glad pewds talks about this. This is something that should become common knowledge.

From the fitness industry, we would like to thank PewDiePie for shedding light on this topic, because he probably has a bigger fanbase than the entire industry combined.

Using steroids is a personal choice. But when people aren’t transparent about their usage and use their physique deceptively as a selling point of a product for social media clout and monetary gain, that’s when it’s a problem.

Guys, he's on January break. He usually takes January off and doesn't upload any videos but streams since it's more relaxing. So stop asking him to upload and be patient for feb!

We are entering an age of fitness unlike anything ever known. It is nice to see people like you using your MASSIVE platforms to inform people on the truth instead of advertise to benefit yourself. It would be just as easy for you to begin taking steroids and lie to 111 million people and sell a fitness plan but instead you choose to inform us.

As a personal trainer I can testify how disruptive this lack of transparency is to the general public, people's perspective on transformation are totally skewed. Major aesthetic differences can take many months if not years of hardwork and nutrition dedication to accomplish and even then they do not, I repeat, they do not look anything close to what Hollywood actors or some Instagram influences sell as attainable naturally. Just exercise for the sake of health and long term lifespan, gains are welcome but not the most important aspect of fitness

Looking at Robert Pattinsons physique in the new Batman trailer you can tell he definitely worked out and when you see his body it looks very obtainable for people not on steroids and just putting in the hours, I think when that article came out that is what he was referring to he clearly didn’t want to be spreading that message that steroids are required to look like a superhero I respect both sides of the argument but I’m impressed with how rob handled the situation.

Pewds will come back guys, don’t worry, he wouldn’t leave us without saying anything. ❤️

Could be wrong, but I have heard numerous people say Henry Cavill didn't do steroids as Superman. If that is true, kudos to that guy.

It's not just fitness lies that are a problem, there are also "natural physique" and the "no makeup" lies as well. There's an aesthetician I watch (Cassandra Bankson) where she at times talks about what celebrities and models do to obtain different kinds of looks like clear skin, looking young, having a tight waist, etc., and it all involves AI technology, photoshop, surgery, and more. Speaking of AI technology, I also saw this short vid on Snapchat where a guy talked about how this girl had such a tiny waist and she claims that she didn't get surgery to get it done, but it was figured out that she used AI to make her waist tiny. And it's not just her that's using this method, there are other people on RU-vid here, and other sites that are using AI to make their skins clear, and more. Then you've got the deep fake stuff that completely changes people's facial features to make them look "more attractive".

Hey pewds, we miss you, hope you’re doing fine. Take hour time.

This is the same problem with influencers/celebrities that are praised for natural beauty when you can tell they've had plastic surgery, people are defending these people too!

Robert still looked decent as batman. He still worked out, he had a realistic body type of a normal guy that trains martial arts a lot and eats healthy. It was completely believable imo.

As a person that has been struggling with a severe bulimic eating disorder since the birth of tumblr, I can relate, especially when influencers would promote juice cleanses, lolly pops and other dietary supplements that help starving yourself but they either had work done, photoshopped their thigh gap or had an extreme eating disorder. As an adult now, I can understand the grind but those appetite suppressors and tummy teas could be seen as someone's holy grail.

As a gym enthusiast who knows I’ll never get the body I want bc I’m not on gear, I’m glad Felix brought this topic up

This is perfectly timed, it’s a new year and we should be rational and kind to ourselves. Thank you for exposing the dangers of deceiving tactics from Hollywood and the fitness industry.

People are so delusional that they will still defend these Gym Shark athletes, 'natural' bodybuilder, actors and fitness youtubers, but good on you for bringing this shit to people's attention. I have used a lot of steroids in the past (currently don't work out) and it is fucking crazy how many people in your local gym is using.

Ok so about to lift the lid with some inside info. I'm an actor, worked on many movies (you can back this up by searching my name Samuel Victor) & I'm currently in training to star in a pretty big superhero movie being announced at London Film and Comic Con in July. Its not a Marvel or DC property but based on an indie comic, but many people who work on Marvel and DC movies are working on it and helped develop and fund it. Part of this was I was moved to a major studio owned property and assigned a dietician/nutritionalist and personal trainer (both of whom have worked with some of the major stars) and work with them (or at least report to them) every day. The diet is extremely strict and gruelling. The workout regime is crazy, basically several hours everyday (different muscle groups each day so they have time to recover). About once every couple of months, I'm offered the opportunity on company money to have a doctor test my testosterone levels, and decide that my "levels are low", and prescribe me some - injecting prescribed testosterone is basically steroids by a legal name and with plausible deniability - "no man I don't take steroids! I had a hormone imbalance and the doctor prescribed this!". Thats the deal here. So far, I've said no, and that's been accepted fine - they aren't forcing me to juice up, just letting me know the option is there if I want faster and more dramatic results. But I'm always told its an option that's there if I want it, and that many other actors use them. "No shame in it, as you still have to work incredibly hard, and its safe because we are constantly monitoring your bloods, heart etc!". I definitely use the EMS machines (the "electrocuting yourself" things that Felix mentioned) both during and after certain workouts, and they do work well to increase endurance and muscle tone - don't be fooled into thinking they burn fat though, they won't give you a six pack if you are over 14% body fat, just make your stomach stronger under the fat! lol They aren't a shortcut if you don't work out as well, they just improve the aesthetics by toning and tightening if you already have a ripped physique. I can tell you they aren't exactly pleasant to use though. Also, for the record, all tight lycra style supersuits (Spider-Man, Super Man etc) have muscle shaped padding inside them. Even the hyper jacked celebs use them cos otherwise that skin tight compression makes you look super skinny, similar to women wearing spanx underwear! The real heavy working out is done not for the supersuit stuff, but for the scenes where you're just in a tight tshirt, or have to have your shirt off for "plot reasons" ;) I recently started a small podcast exposing some of the more shady things that I've been witness to in certain Hollywood circles. Its getting me in trouble and losing some jobs, but if this superhero movie suddenly blows me up and makes me famous I want it to be clear that I'm a good person on the right side of history. I will be doing a whole episode about the superhero pressure pipeline (and general body standards imposed on leading men and women) in the new year.

Mad respect to Robert Pattinson for not wanting to use steroids.

I like the fact that this is being released when many people are making new year's resolutions to get fit and healthy in 2022. Thanks Pewdiepie for reminding us to do the work and be patient when we want to build muscle!

*THE BODY DYSMORPHIA OF IT ALL.* It's crazy how many of this male celebrities get performance enhancers and cosmetic surgeries to enhance their muscle looks, on top of heavy editing in pictures.

Growing up in these times, you see a lot of awareness and try to be aware that Hollywood is fake. But subconsciously, I still find myself wanting to have an unnatural physique. Thanks for the spotlight!

We miss you Felix!! Hope everything is going good in your life, looking forward to your next upload!! Brofist 👊

“If it looks unnatural, than it is unnatural” -PewDiePie

daddy noel has never lied to me

we miss you pewds hope you're doing well. take your time, we'll never get tired waiting for you.

The bit about Robert Pattinson is probably 100% correct. Based off the most recent trailer he clearly got in good shape for the movie but is also clearly natural but if you look at the comments about his physique (most likely from guys with no training or workout experience) you’d think he looked like an average joe. I’m pretty sure Pattinson didn’t want to take roids and was probably pressured to do so and refused.

This is equally as important as plastic surgery with women celebrity influencers. They lie and say its natural.

I work 12hrs a day in construction, (proof of life in my channel) my body and many men’s bodies look “jacked” naturally simply from 70-90hrs a week of hard labor, no drugs or steroids, or even supplements. It’s just that most men don’t do that anymore. That’s why most men’s arms are twigs.

“Don’t compare yourself to these people because they’re probably lying to you anyway.” I like that

It’s such a slow and painful process and it’s really hard to see your own progress when people are saying they got THIS jacked in a year/8 weeks/ a month! I work out 6 days a week and my lack of progress comparatively to these guys gave me body dimorphia and didn’t even realize until a month ago that i had bd. Appreciate the little gains you’ve made

Ive realized now that PewDiePie has been using his social influence and outlet as a way to actually inform people instead of so called ''influencing''. Just another reason why he is the Ultimate Chad. also happy new year.

Antman doesn't juice, that's why his shirtless scene was dark and brief. That's a compliment.

I'm not a Robert Pattinson fan but Pewds actually got the message of Pattinson.. clearly a lot of fans wants to see Pattinson all bulked up as batman but he clearly denies these by doing his own workout (Not necessarily his but with a personal trainer) and not doing steroids. judging by the trailer you can clearly see that he didn't used steroids just pure workout and I was even surprised how muscled he was compared to other movies he partakes in. Good message to all fans and audience there. keep it up PewDiePie! Happy New Year!

Analogically, as a kid I was mind blown about how full and long some female celebrities' hair is. My dream was to have hair of Alexz Johnson from "24 hours" clip. super long super wavy and super full. I was crying that I can't ever get my hair to this point. Eventually I found out that every celeb that I was admiring for their hair was putting in extensions. I hated my hair throughout my teenage years. It may sound trivial but trust me, it shaped my lack of confidence in huge part.

2:12 Loved this part

Fitness and financial gurus have ruined the internet. All of them are lying

gotta appriciate it pewds, as someone thats very much into fitness it means alot to me that this message gets around. People need to understand what an achivable physique looks like

im glad he’s speaking on male “beauty” standards. a lot of men, especially gym newbies, don’t know how roids impact your muscles and their looks aren’t achievable naturally. for women, a lot of women will falsely give bullshit workout routines for abs or a big bottom but they get lipo and BBLs. it’s about time people call others out

Found this video by chance. I'm like "why do I know that name?" Figured it out... a gamer, my son mentioned the name PewDiePie. Like seeing this positive message by an 111m influencer. Thank you.

I'm glad the Robert Pattinson thing got brought up because that was how I interpreted it at the time too. He wasn't really talking about not wanting to work out, because clearly he already does work out - literally look at him, he was talking about drug use. He was just trying not inadvertently call out other actors. And what was the response? A bunch of middle aged DYELs wearing batman tee-shirts calling him lazy, the exact people he was probably saying it for in the first place. As Pewd says, we can't really be too angry with guys like Hemsworth when they're facing pressure like that from their own "fans", ignorant as they may be, never mind the production companies.

It's a lose lose situation in my opinion. If you openly talk about gear use, you're basically giving kids a blueprint of the gear they need to use to obtain a physique. And if you don't tell them, they'll have unrealistic expectations for their own bodies.

Best quote of 2021 PewDiePie - “If it ain’t looking natural, it ain’t natural.” December 31, 2021

0:43 really thought he was about say he has the drive he has the power lol

This is the same for beauty influencers who sell clothes, makeup, skincare, when they have enhanced their bodies UNNATURALLY. It also leads to depression and EDs because people can feel insecure about their NATURAL bodies. We compare ourselves to the beauty standards which are unattainable without cosmetic procedures and it’s harmful when marketed as having no procedures
