AUSTIN, TEXAS: Liver King aka Brian Johnson had a meteoric rise to fame when he introduced the world to his love of all things offal. Intrigued by his 'ancestral living', people have been wondering who the Liver King is since he first appeared on social media in 2021.
The fitness fanatic frequently flaunts his incredible muscles on TikTok, which has left fans pondering how tall he is. His massive physique, bushy beard, and unkempt appearance drew millions of fans, as well as plenty of critics, to the lifestyle he and his family leads.
How tall is Liver King?
Liver king is 5 feet and 7 inches (170 cm) tall and weighs around 190 lbs. He keeps his body in shape by eating raw beef liver, protein drinks, egg yolks, and bone marrow. He told GQ that he eats about a pound of raw liver every day.
However, King suggests that others begin with three ounces twice a week. In his viral TikTok and Instagram videos, the bodybuilder can be seen jumping into ice baths and catching fish straight from the sea with his teeth in an attempt to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Liver King claims that he does not allow mobile phones in his bedroom and has Faraday curtains erected on the windows to prevent radiowaves from flowing through.
Liver King was bullied because of his height
Liver King's height was once the reason he was bullied. Brian stated in an interview that he was bullied a lot by his classmates due to his short stature. His classmates used to beat him and steal his shoes.
After his mother's partner Mark gave him a bench press as a gift, the bullying stopped. "I was very tiny, I knew I looked a bit different and I got the sh*t kicked out of me every single day… I was very terrified. After bodybuilding, they started accepting me and even looked up to me,” he said.
Is Liver King the same height as Liver Queen?
Bozena Johnson aka the Liver Queen is a Polish influencer who is known for being an ardent supporter of her husband Liver King. She is 5 feet and 5 inches (165 cm) tall, making her slightly smaller than the king. The duo owns the US-based Ancestral Supplements and The Fittest company, which focuses on the production of supplements like chocolate bars and beef.
Additionally, Liver Queen can often be seen in the background of King's Instagram and TikTok videos. Just like her husband, she embraces a diet of raw beef liver, protein shakes, egg yolks, and bone marrow.
Liver King admitted to use of steroids
Back in December 2022, Liver King admitted to using steroids in a somber video shared on his YouTube and Instagram accounts. “I fully own that I f**ked up,” he said in the six-minute confession. “I am as sorry as a man can be.”
The same year, Liver King had slammed some of his critics who speculated his abs were not real but surgery-made.
To put the allegations to rest, King went to see Dr Daniel Barrett, a plastic surgeon. The doctor can be seen in the video examining King's chest, pointing to his abs, and saying they are not the same on both sides.
"If these were abdominal implants," he said, "both sides would look like this. So you can see how it's different-shaped."
