Born on April 9 1986, the celebrity celebrated a ‘lockdown’ birthday recently and is looking forward to celebrate his 34th birthday once things get back to normal.
The 34-year old is all set on a fitness journey and is consistently working out to achieve his body goals. Talking about his abs, he said,
“It was emotional getting those abs popping. For me to get my abs through, my diet needs to be on point. The gym is the easy part contributing to 30% of your gains and the rest 70% is down to your diet.
“In times like this, you can adapt and alter your training to make the best of a bad situation. There is no reason why your diet should suffer or change. Stay focused & motivated guys.”

Remarkably, his health has improved greatly.
“As you can imagine it was a huge change for me as my diet included more meat and dairy than the average person. The benefits were seen within a few weeks. I had more energy, my skin is better, I get up earlier and if I don’t sleep well I’m not tired anymore that day.
“Beforehand, it affects you when you get a shit sleep, those days at the gym when you’re walking in and don’t have it in you are gone. Stronger and can hit the gym for longer, my mind is fucking healthy, hard to explain but mentally I’m feeling better.
“I know my blood pressure has gone down. For years it was high but I now know this was a result of excessive binge drinking. This diet definitely helps with this as well as lowering cholesterol. I’ve lost body fat.”
