I WAS disappointed to miss Europe’s Strongest Man at the start of the month. I had to pull out of the show because I tore ligaments in my ankle, as confirmed by a specialist MRI scan. I picked up the injury in possibly the most unglamorous way imaginable – I stepped on a doormat at my mum and dad’s house and it slipped from underneath me. Naturally, I prefer to tell people I did it fighting with bears! The medics wanted to put me in a plaster cast but I...

Know about CBD Asylum? You should do. They’re the people behind an amazing oil that many are finding is providing a great boost to health, fitness, and recovery – including me. For those who don’t know, CBD is an entirely organic, 100% natural, and legal cannabis compound extracted from hemp. The part of the cannabis that causes people to feel high is left behind in the process. It’s widely used as a natural and beneficial food supplement which can improve not only diet but general wellbeing. It is also a...

Check me out on my UK tour

March 16, 2018

THERE’S plenty of things I could never have predicted when I was a mechanic working in a pit under trucks eight hours a day. Among the more bizarre of them is that I would ever be on a theatre tour of Britain, treading the same boards as some of the true theatrical greats. Although maybe it’s not so farfetched – I am, after all, as I’ve previously stated, taking acting lessons. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be squeezing into dressing rooms up and down the land as I reveal...

SO, acting. I know there’s plenty of talk out there about me being in this series or that movie. We’ll leave all that for now. What I will say is that I am having acting lessons. Not as far-fetched as it sounds. The very best in Strongman are all showmen. We’re used to portraying ourselves at the extremes of our personalities. Let’s face it, if you’re a wallflower the strongman scene probably isn’t going to be for you. It’s all about creating a buzz, an atmosphere, drawing the audience in...

I’m Britain’s Strongest Man – again!

January 28, 2018

I MIGHT be the World’s Strongest Man, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of people who want to compete with me and try to knock me down. I’d won Britain’s Strongest Man four times before and yet this weekend’s victory was probably the toughest of the lot. It was a battle all the way and considering I couldn’t deadlift 200kg two months ago because of a severe hip injury, I’m more than happy to have finished top of the podium. Since I was crowned World’s Strongest Man in Botswana...

I would like to thank all those who have signed the petition calling for me to be awarded the Freedom of Stoke-on-Trent. It really is quite something to be thought of in those terms. I’m a normal person. What I do doesn’t make me better than anyone, it just makes me different. I had no expectation of receiving an honour like this, but if people want to put me up for it, then why not? I do believe if we’ve got something to shout about we should shout about it....

What’s Christmas Day like in the Eddie Hall household? Well, chances are it’s not quite the same as Christmas round yours! Food, as you might imagine, features highly. I’ll start off when I get up with a full English breakfast. And I mean ‘full’! All the basics – sausage, egg, beans, bacon, black pudding, bread and butter, and then, with it being Christmas Day, pancakes and strawberries with chocolate sauce as well. After that, things get serious. Over the course of the day, I’ll have three proper Christmas dinners. A...

How about unwrapping me this Christmas?

An incredible story I could not put down – a great insight into the makings of a true legend.” Not my words, those of one of the five-star reviews of my book Strongman: My Story on Amazon. Actually, my autobiography, telling the story of my rise to the position of World’s Strongest Man, has got 95 per cent five star reviews on Amazon. What can I say? It’s a belting good read! I never thought I’d be so associated with Christmas – although stick me in a suit and a...

What a month! Thanks to you all!

I’ve signed a lot of books this past month! And I’ve loved it. Reaction to Strongman has been incredible. Sales have gone through the roof and meeting so many of you at all the book signings I’ve done at WH Smith branches across the land has been magnificent. I’d have bench-pressed a few of you if I’d had time! With the signings as well as media appearances and ‘An Evening With’ type events, I’m spending a lot of time on the road. That can mean a few more services sandwiches...
