The YouTuber, famous for his food-related content, disclosed in a recent video that he had secretly shed the weight over the past two years, all while continuing to upload pre-recorded videos to maintain his channel.
The surprising announcement came in a video titled "Two Steps Ahead", which quickly went viral. In the video, Mr Perry confessed to what he called a "prank," explaining how he had kept his weight loss journey hidden from his audience. Fans responded with a mixture of astonishment, admiration, and intrigue, praising his ability to maintain his channel while focusing on his health in private.
The video, which has already amassed over 20 million views, begins with Mr Perry donning a panda head and declaring, "I am always two steps ahead." He went on to describe the weight loss as part of "the greatest social experiment" of his life, calling it "compelling" and "gripping" to see how people on the internet reacted to the rumours and speculations that surrounded his online persona.
Perry later revealed that he had lost "250 pounds off his body" during what he described as a "very long dream." In another video titled *"Hi"*, posted on a separate channel, Perry appeared in a more relaxed setting with his pet parrot, explaining briefly how he orchestrated the stunt. Before tucking into a plate of spicy cheese noodles, he shared that he had not filmed a new video in two years, relying instead on pre-recorded content while he focused on his health transformation.
The revelation has left viewers stunned. One fan commented, "This feels almost unreal—he played us like a violin. This redemption arc is surreal." Another user recalled an earlier interview where Perry hinted he would eventually lose weight once he hit a certain age, adding, "What a legend. Respect."
Other fans marveled at the complexity of Perry’s secrecy, with one remarking, "The fact that he kept this entirely private, while spreading rumours about heart attacks and failed weight loss, is so intricate I can’t even comprehend it." Another simply stated, "The internet was not ready for this."
With his dramatic transformation now public, some fans have even speculated whether Perry might shift his content towards fitness in the future.
