The five-time Mr. Olympia, Chris Bumstead, recently had some fun at the expense of his friend and fitness sensation, David Laid, during a flight. CBum embarked on a new venture that included opening his new gym- RAW Athletic Club, a seminar, an event, and stem cell therapy in Mexico. Before this, during his thick leg day session, he shared the plan to meet his beloved friend Laid.

During his leg day workout video, Bumstead shared his routine with fans and updated them on his activities. He mentioned, “Let’s go on, like I said, going to Mexico this week. Gonna see David Laid, the good old Mr. Laid, trying to convince me to buy the Vision Pros, and I’m absolutely convinced to buy them.”

However, the highlight of their meeting came during their flight. Bumstead didn’t miss the chance to poke fun at Laid. He posted an Instagram story with the caption, “When you get stuck beside a weirdo,” capturing Laid using his Vision Pro headset. The Vision Pro, known for its immersive virtual reality experience, seemed to amuse Bumstead as he watched his friend do strange hand gestures while seated next to him in a plane.
