One con that being a famous personality or an internet sensation brings with it is the criticism and varied opinions of different individuals. The world of bodybuilding is no stranger to controversies and debates surrounding natural athleticism. One of the biggest victims of these topics is none other than Hollywood icon Mike O’Hearn. Carrying an unbelievable physique even at the age of 54 is a little suspicious, according to many.

Recently, a young bodybuilder, who has been in the US Marine Corps as well, took a sarcastic dig at fitness influencer Mike O’Hearn’s natural status while doing a short interview with fellow fitness creator Kenny KO. Jona, the bodybuilder, in an attempt to shed light on the usage of PEDs in bodybuilding, also admitted that he is on a steroid cycle himself as well.

In a recent short backstage interview with Kenny KO, the young bodybuilder revealed his dosage and admitted that he hopped in gear almost two years ago. However, he did say that African people already have good genetics to start with. Jona disclosed that he has a few friends who naturally have a testosterone level of 1000 ng/dL. He further revealed that after starting gear, he only improved by one rank compared to when he was natural.

However, when asked about whether Mike O’Hearn is natural, he openly expressed his skepticism. The lifter reacted with a sarcastic quip, saying, “If he’s natural, I’m white.” Apart from calling out O’Hearn, his words also highlighted the widespread consumption of anabolics in fitness and bodybuilding history.

This is not the first time Kenny raised this topic; a short while ago, while interviewing Mike O’Hearn himself, he asked him a ‘Natty or Not’ question. However, O’Hearn smartly denied all the accusations.

During the short conversation that Kenny had with O’Hearn last year, he asked him whether he was still natural. To this ‘Titan’ hilariously stated, “Well, no, I have never been natty, right?” Kenny posed a follow-up question about TRT while emphasizing how older men can have a decline in male hormones, which makes TRT necessary at times for lifters. Countering his statement, O’Hearn said, “Let me show you a guy that is a 740 at 58 years old.”

Well, it might be difficult for people to digest that he is natural; however, his work ethic and discipline towards training are unmatchable. And no one can take that away from him.
