吃生肉,過“穴居”生活,能否讓你變得像“巨石”德恩·約翰遜一樣,獲得線條明顯的肌肉?另外一位滿身肌肉的約翰遜剛剛坦白他服用了類固醇。
作為網(wǎng)上知名的“原始生活”大師,被稱為“肝王”的約翰遜在YouTube、TikTok和Instagram上向數(shù)百萬粉絲謊稱,他壯碩的體型都源自不同尋常的飲食習(xí)慣和嚴(yán)格的健身方法。
他和妻子聲稱自己堅(jiān)持的這種“原始”生活方式,應(yīng)該能帶來“力量、健康和快樂”,包括按照“九個(gè)祖?zhèn)鞣▌t”生活:吃、睡、運(yùn)動(dòng)、保持快樂、開展人際交往、享受寒冷、曬太陽、戰(zhàn)斗和維持親密關(guān)系。他生吃肝臟、骨髓甚至牛睪丸。
在社交媒體以外,肝王創(chuàng)建了自己的品牌Heart & Soil和Ancestral Supplements,通過銷售蛋白質(zhì)補(bǔ)充劑和烘干動(dòng)物內(nèi)臟年賺1億美元。在他的店鋪,每瓶含草飼牛肝臟的膠囊售價(jià)為30美元至65美元。
45歲的肝王本名布萊恩·約翰遜,他此前曾否認(rèn)了對(duì)自己服用類固醇的指控。他在馬克·貝爾的《Power Project》播客中表示:“我不會(huì)碰類固醇。從來沒用過那種東西。未來也不會(huì)服用?!?/p>
然而,如今約翰遜已經(jīng)被撕下了偽裝。他在上傳到Y(jié)ouTube上的一條視頻中承認(rèn):“我撒謊了,誤導(dǎo)了許多人……是的,我服用了類固醇,目前正在服用,而且有一位經(jīng)過訓(xùn)練的激素臨床醫(yī)生負(fù)責(zé)監(jiān)測(cè)和管理我的身體狀況。”
這位網(wǎng)紅承認(rèn),他每周服用120毫克睪丸酮,并為自己誤導(dǎo)粉絲和聲稱他的體型是“完全自然的”,向粉絲道歉。
在此之前,曾有另外一位YouTube用戶More Plates More Dates發(fā)布了一條長達(dá)一個(gè)小時(shí)的視頻,曝光肝王使用類固醇,每個(gè)月要為此花費(fèi)12,000美元。
視頻中包括一封被曝光的肝王寫給一位營養(yǎng)師的郵件,他在郵件中證實(shí)自己服用了類固醇,并要求對(duì)方提供更多類固醇,郵件中還附上了血液檢測(cè)的結(jié)果。
肝王為什么撒謊?
肝王將自己的行為歸咎于不安全感:“有85%的人口備受自尊問題的折磨,我就是其中之一。
他說,自己樹立的形象是“要向每天自殺的4,000人和嘗試自殺的80,000人傳播信息,[并]提高他們的意識(shí)?!彼€表示,他“戰(zhàn)斗”的目的是為了宣傳“原始生活”,將其作為一種解決方案。
肝王還坦白,他并沒有充分意識(shí)到自己的行為帶來的后果。他說道:“在社交媒體上走紅之前,我很富有,但默默無聞。在社交媒體上走紅之后,我依舊富有,但不再默默無聞……我從未想過會(huì)這樣暴露在公眾眼中?!保ㄘ?cái)富中文網(wǎng))

Can living on a diet of raw meat and leading a “caveman” lifestyle really make you as ripped as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson? Another ripped Johnson just came clean about his steroid use.
An internet-famous “primal living” guru, called Liver King, falsely convinced his millions of followers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram that his jacked physique was down to his unusual eating habits and rigorous fitness regime alone.
The “ancestral” lifestyle that he and his wife supposedly followed was intended to achieve “strength, health, and happiness” and included living according to the “nine ancestral tenants”: to eat, sleep, move, shine, connect, cold, sun, fight, and bond. He ate raw liver, bone marrow, and even bull testicles.

? original sound – Liver King
Social media aside, Liver King has already been making $100 million a year selling protein supplements and dried animal organs under his brands Heart & Soil and Ancestral Supplements. His shop charges $30 to $65 a bottle for capsules containing grass-fed beef liver.
The 45-year-old, whose real name is Brian Johnson, previously denied any accusations of steroid use, having said on Mark Bell’s Power Project Podcast: “I don’t touch the stuff. I’ve never done the stuff. I’m not going to do the stuff.”
Johnson’s facade, however, has now dramatically dropped. In a video uploaded to his YouTube he revealed, “I lied, and I misled a lot of people…Yes, I’ve done steroids, and yes, I am on steroids, monitored and managed by a trained hormone clinician.”
The influencer admitted that he’s been taking 120mg of testosterone per week and apologized for misleading his followers and claiming that he really was “all-natural.”
Prior to his confession, Johnson was called out by another YouTuber called More Plates More Dates, who published an hour-long video exposing the influencer’s use of steroids, costing him $12,000 per month.
It included a leaked email from Johnson to a nutritionist confirming his steroid use and asking for more, and the results of a blood test.
Why did Liver King lie?
Johnson blamed his actions on his insecurities: “When I talk about the 85% of the population that suffers from self-esteem issues, that’s me. I’m part of that statistic.”
The persona, he said, was “an experiment to spread the message [and] to bring awareness to the 4,000 people a day who kill themselves, the 80,000 people a day that try to kill themselves,” adding that his “fight” was to promote “ancestral living” as a solution.
Johnson also confessed that he wasn’t fully aware of the consequences, saying, “Before social media I was rich and anonymous, and after social media, I’m still rich but no longer anonymous…I never expected this kind of exposure in the public eye.”
