TANK PRANK SHOWS REAL ME WILL NEVER BE CRUSHED!

February 28, 2023

It’s weird what can go viral on social media. Recently I made a TikTok video where I ran over someone’s car outside a gym. When I say ‘ran over’ I don’t mean I climbed on the bonnet and ran across the roof, I mean ‘ran over’. In a tank. You can see the footage here. The video doesn’t stop with the car crushing. Later, when I got home, I was arrested by police. The owner of the car wasn’t particularly happy with my actions. Or that was how it was...

I’M back in the ring – and this time I’m taking on the greatest fighters in the history of the sport. From modern-day champs to greats of generations past. I’m looking forward to giving them all a good hiding. Tyson Fury had better watch out. OK, so I know climbing over the ropes to take on Tyson might not be a great idea. I can see he’s pretty good at what he does. Luckily, these particular fights are taking place in a virtual world –Genuinely, I’m absolutely honoured and thrilled...

LIKE most people in the public eye I’ve been called a few things down the years! But I have to admit ‘Lizard’ is a new one even on me. Just to set the record straight, I am not actually covered in scales. Nor do I have to lie on a rock in bright sunlight to warm up of a morning. Truth is I’m actually a special guest star in the video game Primasia Chapter One (I’ll be part of a future mini game too!). My character forms part of the...

THERE are Christmas presents and there are CHRISTMAS PRESENTS – and this is the best one we could ever have hoped to receive. It’s always been mine and Alex’s dream to extend our family. But like many couples, it’s turned out to be far from easy – there’s been plenty of heartache along the way.The past decade has been difficult to say the least. During that time we lost two babies. Throughout that period, alongside many doctor and hospital visits, we tried to keep our hope alive that one day...

BEING a world champion strongman who’s never afraid to push himself to the limit has put me in some incredible situations and in front of some amazing people.While my fight with Thor earlier this year is all in the past now, I’d like to draw your attention to a part of that adventure that lives on thanks to BBC iPlayer.The run-up to that fight saw me spend some time with Louis Theroux for his documentary Eddie Hall: The Beast v The Mountain. Louis is one of the greatest writers and...

All the talk out there might be about the football World Cup coming up in Qatar, but I tell you there’s a sporting spectacle getting the pulses racing much closer to home.Forget kicking a football around, this contest really gets to the heart and soul of human competition. on November 26, 2022, at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, we ask just who is the World’s Strongest Nation. It’s a battle royale between the two most eminent strongmen nations on Earth – Great Britain and the USA. And guess who’s...

I know how hard things can be at times. It’s easy to find yourself feeling suffocated by day-to-day pressures. Which is why it’s so important to find the fun in life.People might wonder why I’d say something like that, but sometimes you can find yourself on the floor without quite realising how you got there. And I know better than most that mental and physical health are massively connected.Anyone who follows me on social media knows how much I enjoy both watching and creating fun videos – just watch me...

People think the World’s Strongest Man is this big gnarly man that’s nasty and angry and just lifts weights, eats food and goes the gym, whereas that’s so far from the truth. I’ve got two sides.’ I want to draw your attention to something special – a great BBC documentary, Eddie Hall: The Beast vs The Mountain. You’ll remember back in March that I entered the boxing ring for a long-awaited showdown against ‘Thor’ Bjornsson – a battle that was about more than just winning – a battle that was...

THERE’S plenty who’ll testify to the fact that, in the unlikely event you can’t see me, you’ll certainly be able to hear if I’m around. Competing in Strongman especially, I wanted to have the biggest personality ever. It made me feel even more powerful, with the added advantage of maybe intimidating a few of my rivals. Well, now you can have me in your ears for hours at a time. My new project, The World’s Strongest Audiobook, takes you behind the scenes of my life for the past two years....

AMAZING how fast five years passes. It seems impossible that is how long it is since I achieved my life’s ambition and won World’s Strongest Man. The time following has passed in a truly mad blur – a life changed in ways I could never have imagined. Right now, I’m out in Sacramento, California (it’s a hard life, I know!) wrapping up filming for World’s Strongest Mat 2022. Staying part of the competition is massive for me. It’s a part of my life I never intend to let go and...

YOU could say I get around these days. If I’m not filming a TV show I’ll be delivering a talk. If I’m not on stage at a strongman show, I’m in the boxing ring. It’s the life I’ve always wanted, and to live it is, quite literally, a dream come true. That’s why I never forget what it took to get me here. Occasionally, on my social media, I’ll put up an old video of a training regime from the days before I won World’s Strongest Man in 2017. Cardio...

LIFE presents mountains. Some you get over at the first time of asking. Others present a different challenge. When I came up against Thor in that boxing ring in Dubai, I gave everything but just couldn’t quite reach the summit – not a bad comparison, Thor is six foot nine! In the end, that was probably the difference on the night. Thor’s height gave him the advantage of being hard to reach. He could stand and repel while I was the one who always had to fight. Sport is win...
