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!!!🙏🏼

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

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

“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!

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

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

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.

The Goku part was HILARIOUS 😂

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

“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! 😂

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

The rock definitely on 2 gummy bears

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.

2:25 Daddy Noel is the GOAT

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

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.

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.

I'm glad PewDiePie is bringing the truth to the general public

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.

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

Master chief on steroid is the most canon thing

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.

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 ❤️

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Been watching Felix since amnesia days and it’s so cool to see someone grow over the years, and I dunno I feel like a proud mom seeing the person he is today 😭 love you Felix ❤️

It's official. Pewd got kidnapped for exposing a topic he wasn't supposed to talk about. RIP Pewd, You were one of the brave.

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)

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.

Never been a Pewdiepie fan but this kind of videos are necessary and it’s really good that he’s doing this.

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.

We've gotten to the point where the peak attractiveness of men and women is inhuman and unachievable through natural means, and it just keeps getting worse

....hes not a waiter he's a Sous Chef and his name is Sanji... never skipped leg day

2:12 Loved this part

long time no vids hope you are doing fine man.

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

Its very appreciable that pewdiepie talks about something that everyone is afraid of and it is the pure reality

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!

"Don't compare yourself to these people because they're probably lying to you anyway". Wise words from a wise man.

Glad to see this exposure for men and boys. It’s become a big problem for us. My nephews are 19 and 15 and don’t have social media because they are bombarded with these images and become so self conscious about their body.

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

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

daddy noel has never lied to me

Master Chief's 'gear' hits different.

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 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!

I don't think they're "wrong" for using. It's as you said, the transparency is the issue.

"Everybody's on steroids" -Stockton Slapper

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.

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 the song hits just right and you use it again and again throughout the day.

I thought Master Chief was natural and genetically gifted. I don’t know how I am going to deal with this.

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!

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.

It’s not just men that take steroids. I think that’s another misconception. I was very into bodybuilding when I was a teenager and was very impressionable. After working at a gym for two years at the front desk and getting to know everyone, I could not believe how many regulars were on juice that didn’t look like that were on juice, I also could not believe how many woman were that just looked super fit. What the general public does not know is there are very mild steroids like winstrol or anavar that are widely used by women because of their low androgenic effects, meaning they help create more lean muscle and promote fat loss, while also not jacking up hormones so much that a woman turns into looking more like a man, ie: square jaw, receding hairline, acne, or worse. Really, those two hormones by themselves just put like 5 pounds of lean muscle on them and build great legs, arms, and a core, while still looking feminine. Those women were beautiful honestly, and I don’t mean that in a masogenistic way, so I was shell shocked when I found out. Someone should cover that topic too. The fitness industry prays on women just as much as men. Also, I just remembered this, but those compounds were being stacked with clenbuterol at the time which was a prescription medication for asthma which was a potent fat burner. Seemed like any woman with a six pack at the gym was on it.

Yea once you resurch test and other compounds and how it works its super easy to tell who's on it

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

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.

"Master Chief?! Damn.." drops weights*

*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.

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

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.

This is why the scene in fight club where theyre on the bus talking about the poster is so good and (spoiler alert) the fact that his walk talking to this imaginary dude built like the was on roids and how he perceived how a man should be with the unrealistic expectations was gold part of the movie

The funniest and favorite phrase of theirs" bro got super genetics" 😂😂😂😂

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

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

Chris Evans' physique is achievable naturally. I've done pretty good and train half arsed, 3 times a week, isolation workouts, no diet, no supplements, working a full time manual labour job. Imagine what you can do with a personal chef, personal trainer and a $20million check.

I seriously did not know that steroids were this common among people. Ever since I was thwelve i have been trying to get like some of these huge influencers who sold the idea that this is possible. I worked hard and did a lot of pushups situps and squats everyday just to get at least a quarter as big as some of these guys.I told myself that I couldn't get there because I am still young but that isn't just it. These people i am trying to be like are 100 pecent on steroids and I'm glad that someone said something because I am still young. I would have gotten older trying to achieve goals that are unrealistic and get discouraged.

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

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!

My favorite thing is that the actor for Mac from always sunny admitted to doing roads

It's so sad that we're Lied to so much that we become Emotional when people tell us the Truth.

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

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.

“ Chicken and Brocoli “ - Every actors with perfect ripped body in 2 weeks

i think youre 100% correct in your assessment of what R patts was probably thinking. the dude seems like the most down to earth celebrity on par with Keanu reeves. people sleep on R patts but hes a great role model imo, i will always love his work and everything the guy does.

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.

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

Love that he's being honest with his audience. There is such a long-running negative stigma around steroids that it seems impossible for anyone to be honest. IF people were more honest about the topic we could do better at keeping it out of the hands of minors and more clearly define what specific PEDs are dangerous or have severe negative side effects.

As a 22 year old, 6'5 and 128lbs student I can confirm. These fake natty's actually destroyed a huge motivation for me to hit the gym. I been working out for a year now and I barely see a difference. For example, I have a bodyfat% somewhere between 6-10% for my entire life. I cannot bulk, I don't gain weight. And at the same time I don't lose weight either. My upper arms grew two centimeters in radius in over a year of hard work. My genes are horrible to grow muscles. Even women see me on the streets and with a bit of distance they think I'm a female. I pictured people like Henry Cavil as my goal. But when I talked with people from the bubble about how I train, what I eat and what the difference is between last year's october and today they all say. "You don't have the genes. They are not natty, they're on roids. Don't set your expectations so high." Now i train to get my anger out.

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.

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.

Wow impressed by Pewds talking about this. Great that he’s sharing the message and exposing the reality of all these transformations. I catch myself feeling those ways towards the Celebs as well

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

Pewds for YT CEO. ✊

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

That 8 week transformation photos could have easily have been taken in the same day it's all about lighting and weather your flexing or not

i also had the same remark with robert pattinson playing as batman, i realized he didnt wanna risk his health for a movie, i mean he could do it naturally but its better than the alternative.

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