Eddie Hall's $1,250,000 home has ramped up security measures as shocking video goes viral
Details of the security measures in place at Eddie Hall's home have resurfaced after a video clip of him furiously chasing 'fans' went viral online.
On Tuesday, a social media clip showing former World's Strongest Man and three-time strongman champion Hall aggressively confronting two motorists outside his home went viral online.
The video shows the 37-year-old chasing the cars and telling the drivers to get away from his family home or he will 'f**king rip all your heads off.'
In the wake of the controversial incident, fans have discovered an old video posted by Hall revealing the stunning amount of money he spent on security for the property.

Shortly after the clip went viral online, Hall spoke out to claim that the video was posted to make him look like a bad guy, explaining that he only acted the way he did to protect his family.
The motorists had parked outside Hall's house in Newcastle-under-Lyme and refused to leave prompting concerns that they could pose a danger to Hall's children.
The former strongman bought the house back in December 2019 and has since spent around $1,250,000 (£935,000) upgrading the security and living facilities of the property.
In a video tour posted in July 2020, Hall said: "I want to show you around my new house. I bought the house back in December but I've done a lot of travelling since then.
"I'm really happy with the house, it's a nice big house built in 1988 and the guy who owned it built houses for a living and I must say everything has been done to the highest standard.
"The first thing I did was get a 6ft spiked fence around the entire property which is just under an acre. I've had the gates put in and I ordered all new windows and doors."
Hall takes the camera through the massive electric gates while discussing some of the luxurious parts of the home, which includes his own spa, a glass-fronted shed and a second guest house to be used by training partners, friends and family.
He later explains that he spent so much on the home due to issues with fans coming to his old home looking for selfies or signatures.
"In my old house I had a lot of problems of people coming on to my property and knocking on the door at stupid hours asking for autographs and pictures," Hall added.
"I've had it where people have climbed over the fence to knock on. As innocent as that may, sound it's quite worrying.
"And since I've lived here, I was in my hot tub a couple of weeks ago, somebody just wondered into my back garden and literally offered me a fight, literally put his fists up and said, 'Let's do some boxing training.'
"So it just goes to show show, being who I am does draw the wackos, so the security has been the number one feature for me."
