YouTuber David Dobrik revealed the before-and-after of his recent fitness transformation in a series of photos and videos. See the results of his jaw-dropping glow-up.
David Dobrik is hitting the like button on the results of his fitness journey.
To kick off the new year, the YouTuber revealed before-and-after photos of the major body transformation he underwent throughout 2024.
In the “before” pic shared to his Instagram Jan. 7, David posed for the camera wearing black athletic shorts and no shirt, showing off his bare chest and stomach. And in the “after” shot next to it, the 28-year-old—rocking only a pair of blue jeans—flashed a big smile for the camera while debuting his six-pack abs and chiseled biceps.
And the Dispo founder couldn’t have accomplished his goals without some help, most notably from his trainor and friend Ilya Fedorovich. As he explained, “I owe everything to all my friends and especially Ilya who has literally changed my life.”
“I love ya dude,” David continued before quipping, “I don’t feel like pudding anymore !!!!”
And David wasn’t done celebrating his new physique, either. Shortly after, he shared two videos to Instagram, one of him pulling his shirt off before his health journey and one of him unveiling his muscles now. He captioned the clip, “A year in the making.”
“I’d be lying if I said the last couple of years were my healthiest or my happiest,” David said in the Jan. 7 YouTube video. “I let go of myself and stop doing the things that I really enjoyed.”
And his famous friends were nearly speechless when he finally unveiled the results, with Olivia Jade Giannulli exclaiming in the video, “I cannot believe you have, like, a full six-pack!”
Meanwhile, Harry Jowsey joked in the comments of his Instagram, “Has ai gone too far?”

Pete Davidson
Live from New York it’s Pete Davidson…with fewer tattoos.
After initially covering much of his arms with ink, the Saturday Night Live alum revealed his nearly bare limbs during a surprise appearance on the Nov. 2 episode of the sketch comedy show.
Although, perhaps fans shouldn’t be too surprised by his tat removal as Pete has talked about the process before.
“I honestly never thought that I’d get an opportunity to act, and I love it a lot,” The King of Staten Island star said on a 2021 episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers. “It takes like three hours—you have to get there three hours earlier—to cover all your tattoos.”
And “burning them off,” he continued, “is worse than getting them.”
“Not only are they burning off your skin, but you’re wearing these big goggles so you can’t see anything and the doctor’s in there with you,” Pete explained. “So before he goes to laser each tattoo, you have to hear him announce what the tattoo is to make sure if you want to keep it or not.”
As he recalled his doctor asking, “‘Are we keeping a Stewie Griffin smoking a blunt?’ And then I have to sit there and be like, ‘No Dr. G.’”
Machine Gun Kelly
Another star to change up their body art? Machine Gun Kelly.
While the Grammy nominee initially had a variety of colorful tattoos up and down his arms, he later covered them up with solid black ink—debuting the transformation on Instagram in February and writing “for spiritual purposes only” before giving a shout-out to artist Roxx.
Megan Fox, who is expecting a baby with MGK amid breakup reports, previously shed some light on his thought process behind the design.
“He has a really special story behind why he did that, which obviously I’ll leave for him to tell,” the actress said on a March episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast. “But he had a relationship with the tattoos that he had that he was very conflicted emotionally, whatever they represented—and I don’t actually know—he didn’t like to revisit those memories of some of those tattoos that he had and he wanted to get rid of them.”
However, Megan suggested she’s a fan of MGK’s new ink, calling it “very art.”
“It’s like an elevated version of all of those tattoos that were pieced together,” she added. “I think it’s really elegant and it’s ahead of its time. I think in 10 years that’ll be a trend.”
However, the Transformers star said she doesn’t “know how many people can take that kind of pain”—adding the musician was awake and didn’t receive any numbing.
Zendaya
When it comes to red carpet style, Zendaya is among the best in the game. The Challengers star served up another epic look for Paris Fashion Week in January, where she arrived at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture show in a silk crepe turtleneck with spikes, column skirt and new bangs.
Khloe Kardashian
Have you been keeping up with Khloe Kardashian‘s hairstyles?
While she’s sported a variety of shades over the years, The Kardashians star transformed her blonde tresses to brown this year. As her sister Kourtney Kardashian put it in a Nov. 21 Instagram post in which Khloe showcased her brunette hair, “Stunning inside and out my sister.”
Brittany Mahomes
While Brittany Mahomes is often seen rocking the red to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs and her quarterback husband Patrick Mahomes, the fitness entrepreneur changed her hair to a fiery shade in April—noting on Instagram she was “feeling spicy.”
However, the changeup was short lived as Brittany, who is growing her family’s squad, currently expecting baby No. 3 with Patrick, has since switched back to blonde.
Garrett Josemans
Fans didn’t turn a blind eye to Garrett Josemans‘ new look.
While the Love Is Blind star entered the pods with a short cut, he later grew out his longer locks.
“I’ve always had a latent interest in fashion,” Garrett, who wed Taylor Krause on the show, said at the reunion, which aired Oct. 30. “I think we all have lots of different latent interests. Being married to a very fashionable and beautiful woman, it just felt like I finally found somebody worth looking good for, worth paying attention to my looks. So, she opened up that door for me, and we’re running with it.”
Jacob Elordi
There’s something just a hair different about Jacob Elordi.
The Kissing Booth alum showcased his new facial hair at the screening of The Order at the Marrakech International Film Festival in November.
Prince William
The beard Prince William started growing over the summer has royally captured the public’s attention as well.
Lisa Rinna
While Lisa Rinna rocked her signature hairstyle for years, she’s been debuting some new looks in 2024. Like when The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum went blonde for a Paris Fashion Week event in June.
“The story goes: @lisarinna asked for drama and we replied ‘say less,’” hair care company Björn Axén wrote on Instagram June 27. “12 hours later she woke up as a blonde for the first time in her life.”
Jelly Roll
Jelly Roll is sharing his fitness goals.
“I want to be on the cover of Men’s Health by March of 2026. That’s the goal,” the country music star, who noted he’s lost about 140 pounds, said on the Dec. 16 episode of his wife Bunnie XO‘s podcast Dumb Blonde. “That’s my new goal. I want to have one of the biggest transformations.”
And Jelly Roll plans to share his experience along the way.
“I did this publicly for a reason,” he continued. “I want to be honest about my struggles with it with people. I wore it for so long. I think that people that become big as I became, when they lose the weight, they’re kind of ashamed. They’re so ashamed that they go hide and lose the weight, and then they come back out and they don’t really know to interact with the world looking different or feeling different and they kinda gotta find their whole new way. I wanted to lose it in front of people.”
But for the “Need a Favor” artist, the transformation is about more than the physical.
“I also got honest about looking at my food addiction as an addiction,” he added. “I used to feel like it was such an injustice to real addicts to call food something you could be addicted to because I’ve seen people fight for their life on heroin. But, I’ve seen people fight for their life in their own body. And I started realizing that the same patterns that I had did towards drugs or alcohol at different times in my life was small compared to the consistent bad pattern I had with food.”
Ellen DeGeneres
It appears Ellen DeGeneres has said goodbye to the U.S. and to her longtime blonde hair. Shortly after reports spread that she and wife Portia de Rossi moved to England, the comedian was spotted in the U.K. with a brunette ‘do.
Rita Ora
Rita Ora isn’t masking her love of fashion.
The Masked Singer panelist rocked a blonde pixie mullet and bleached eyebrows at the British Fashion Council’s Fashion Awards in London Dec. 2
Austin Butler
Fans were all shook up when they saw Austin Butler‘s new look. The Elvis actor hit the red carpet with a cool buzz cut at the 2024 SFFILM Awards Night in San Francisco.
Tammy Slaton
Tammy Slaton has been documenting her weight loss journey.
“My life has been a rollercoaster,” the 1000-Lb. Sisters star said in an Aug. 27 Instagram post, “and I’m proud to share that I’ve lost over 500 pounds.”
And she’s been candid about the process, which included bariatric surgery in 2022.
“I think I was trying to be so focused on losing weight I lost myself,” Tammy continued in the Instagram video. “I lost who I was, and I turned to alcohol instead of food. At the same time, I was still eating. So, I was doing both. Damage in two different ways. It’d be so easy to fall back into bad habits and gain all the weight back, [but then] what was this all for? Waste of time, waste of money, waste of effort.”
She also noted “it’s not a diet, but rather a lifestyle change, and supported others who are on a similar path.
“I had a lot of demons, inner demons, that I had to fight, and I’m still fighting,” the TLC celeb added. “You’re not alone. You can do anything once you put your mind to it. Never give up.”
Barry Keoghan
Burning to see Barry Keoghan‘s new ‘do?
The Saltburn actor recently dyed his hair from brown to blonde and gave fans a peek at the change on Instagram Dec. 6.
Kathy Bates
Before Kathy Bates was cast in Matlock, she set out on a personal journey.
“I’ve lost 100 pounds, and it all just coincided beautifully so that physically I’m capable of doing this show,” she told People in a video shared Oct. 9. “I don’t have to sit down. I can stand up all day long and walk and move and breathe and do so many things that I couldn’t do before.”
As the Oscar winner noted, she wanted to lose the weight for her health.
“I was diagnosed with diabetes,” she added. “It runs in my family, and I’d seen what my father had gone through. He’d had a leg amputation. One of my sisters is dealing with it very seriously. And it terrified me, and it just scared me straight. I thought, ‘I’ve got to do something.’ So I thought, ‘OK. I’ll give this a go.’”
Kathy said she changed what she ate and started using Ozempic. However, there’s a point she wants to clarify.
“The last year and a half there’s been a lot of talk, ‘Oh, she’s done this on Ozempic’ and stuff,” the Misery star continued. “And I just want to lay that to rest here. I lost about 80 pounds, and then the last 15 or 20 is always the hardest. So when Ozempic came out, I thought, OK, and I went to my doctor. She said, ‘Let’s give this a go.’ So I was able to do the last. But I have to impress upon people out there that this was hard work for me.”
