The five-time Mr. Olympia Classic Physique Chris Bumstead proved that he is a true legend in the realm of bodybuilding. A man of his word, who always emphasized that he would conquer the coveted title for the fifth time, did so, despite the challenges he faced, and changes were made in the division. He shone brighter than anyone else, and has been extremely transparent about his preparation.

After his triumph, Bumstead has been showing gratitude and thanking people who helped him achieve the Sandow trophy again. He presented a gift to a friend and filmmaker who has been with him for the last six years. The 28-year-old’s kindness made Calvin Youttitham cry.

In response to CBum’s outstanding gesture, Youttitham took to his Instagram to share a picture of them together and a snippet where Cbum handed over the gift. He expressed gratitude and wrote an emotional message in the post. While giving a gift to his friend, Calvin Youttitham, Cbum said, “Appreciation of how grateful for all you’ve done for me. How good of a friend you’ve been.”

Right after receiving a precious gift from Bumstead, Youttitham began to sob. Bumstead, with a comforting gesture, hugged him and jokingly called him a “Cry baby”. He further mentioned the time they’ve spent together was incredible. “Seriously, man, it’s been crazy. In five years we’ve built so many memories… And just our friendship and the sh’t we’ve done,” stated the reigning champion.

Cbum’s kind action made Calvin Youttitham feel so emotional that he couldn’t stop his tears. The filmmaker talked about how sometimes he wonders what his life would be like if he had never met Cbum. He felt lucky to have a friend like him and the profession he chose, and it’s difficult for him to express in words how thankful he is.

He began filmmaking because he enjoyed it, but it never truly gave him a sense of purpose in life until he met the Classic Physique Champ. “Creativity is a form of expression on the way you view the world, and all I’ve ever wanted to do is show the world not who Cbum is but who Chris is,” he wrote in his caption.

Calvin’s commitment to Cbum is astounding
