Eddie Hall shares staggering photo of him aged 13 and fans refuse to believe it's the same person

Former World’s Strongest Man winner Eddie Hall left fans stunned when he posted several photographs of himself at 13 on social media.

Hall, 37, is best known for his exploits in the World's Strongest Man competition, but these days he has become a well-liked social media personality and even fought in European MMA promotion KSW back in April.

While he was still competing as a strongman, he weighed in at 31 stone or 196.5kg and consumed around 10,000 calories per day during his peak years.

Hall was crowned as ‘World’s Strongest Man’ at 29 years old, but his love for the sport goes back a long way before his crowning moment in 2017.

“I remember watching World’s Strongest Man as a kid, and I was just obsessed with it,” Hall told Vice in 2017.

“At sort of five, six years old. Just watching these huge guys lift planes, pulls trains, lift stones – I was just mesmerised by it. So I think, subconsciously from that age, I always wanted to be the World’s Strongest Man. But it wasn’t until the first competition where I was like, ‘Oh hey, this is easy. This is something I can actually achieve.’”

He added: “I was expelled from school at 14, and whilst everyone else was studying for their GCSEs, I got a membership for that gym, and I just started lifting weights. So while everyone else was in school, I was in the gym, sort of bulking up, and when I got to 17, I got a full-time job.”

And like a lot of young people, in his teenage years, Hall began bulking up and building muscle, but fans were left stunned when he posted several photographs of himself to his Facebook page showing how developed he was at just 13.

Fans were quick to have their say on social media.

One said: "Thirteen years old grown man."

Another added: "You must be kidding me, bro looks like me at 29 years old."

While a third commented: "Thirteenth birthday bash at working men's club after 30 pints."

As a fourth joked: "Thirteen my left foot... that's a 19/20 year old man."
