“I wanted to look like Brad Pitt—somewhere between Fight Club and Troy.”

“I’ve never been in more trouble in my life,” muses an exhausted but excited Spencer Matthews, two days out from completing a grueling body transformation. “And I’ve done some stuff.” Matthews has gamely batted back the inevitable questions about the PEDs that got him kicked out of the British reality TV celebrity jungle in 2013. “It was Avalar, by the way, pills not needles and they were shit—it did nothing.”
Of course, this is old news. But dredging it up is helpful to bring into sharper contrast the man photographed before you. In just 10 weeks, Matthews has purged the nascent Dadbod that comes with balancing the stresses of work life and a young family to feel stronger and look leaner than he ever has before. And this time he’s done it the right way.
