Asmongold Says Body-Shaming Over Viral Photo Motivates Him to Work Out
September 9, 2026·2 min read
Asmongold has responded to body-shaming over a viral photo of himself, saying the criticism does not upset him and can actually push him to exercise more.
The streamer addressed the image after it spread online alongside jokes about his physique. He also questioned whether the photo was genuine, saying he hoped it was fake without explaining why he believed that might be the case.
Asmongold said comments about his appearance make him more conscious of his weight and give him additional motivation to exercise and improve how he looks. He also told viewers that the criticism does not bother him and suggested they could continue making those remarks.
His response was specifically about the viral image and the reaction around it, rather than an announcement of a new fitness plan or major lifestyle change.
Asmongold also cast doubt on the image itself during the same response. "But I do think this is fake. I hope it's fake," he said.
He did not explain why he believed the picture might be fake, and there has been no reliable confirmation that it was edited or AI-generated.
For now, the photo's authenticity remains unconfirmed.
