MrBeast has shared some images of himself on social media demonstrating that he's been hitting the gym after labeling himself "obese".

The 25-year-old, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is famous for his videos that focus on pricey stunts that often involve giving away large sums of money.

MrBeast's rise to fame is nothing short of extraordinary, and he is a testament to innovative thinking and hard work being the way to get forward in life.

But it would seem that one thing he wasn't content with was his body, so he took steps to change that and the results are pretty incredible!

Taking to Twitter, the YouTuber wrote: "Woke up and realized I was obese so I started lifting and walking 12,500 steps a day. Still got a long way to being yoked but I’m happy with my progress so far."

Attached to the caption was a before and after image, and it's clear to see that MrBeast has been hitting the gym as the results are obvious!

He even gained the attention of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who knows a thing or two about lifting weights as a former Mr. Universe.

Quoting the tweet, Schwarzenegger penned: "Wow - fantastic work. Keep pumping and inspiring people! Let me know if you’re in LA and want to get a lift in."

Despite being famous himself, being offered to pump some iron with one of the most iconic bodybuilders of all time is presumably an offer too good to refuse.

These tweets come days after MrBeast revealed that he had been invited to take a spot on the Titan submersible, which tragically imploded and killed all five men on board.

Taking to Twitter at the time, the hugely popular content creator shared an excerpt of a text he was apparently sent which read: "I’m going to the Titanic in a submarine late this month. The team would be stoked to have you along."

Alongside the images, MrBeast added: "I was invited earlier this month to ride the Titanic submarine, I said no. Kind of scary that I could have been on it."

The Titan submersible was due to explore the wreckage of the Titanic when it suddenly went missing on June 18, prompting a worldwide rescue effort.

Despite the best efforts of the rescue teams, it was revealed that the sub had imploded, as a statement by OceanGate (the company operating the sub) explained.

"These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world's oceans," the statement said. "Our hearts are with these five souls and every member of their families during this tragic time. We grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew."

Some have accused MrBeast of faking the text messages, but these accusations were denied by the YouTuber.
