Meet the Body Behind “Free Guy”

Aaron Reed Height : 6'7" (200.5cm)

Aaron Reed Weight : 295 - 310lbs (133.8kg - 140.6kg)

Aaron Reed was born in a sportive family full of athletes, although he didn't have an easy start, as a child Aaron Reed fought leukemia.

Aaron Reed started his gym journey at age 12, Reed finds out he is stronger than other guys at his age and his love for weight lifting burns out to lead him to bodybuilding at age 19 and turns into a pro wrestler for WWE at age 29.

 Aaron Reed was released from WWE after his ACL injury and They found out that I had a strain of hepatitis that I got from blood transfusions when I was a kid. They have a cure for this strain of hepatitis, but I’ve had this for 25 years without issue and now they want to give me heavy chemo that could potentially damage my organs. I said no, I’m just going to go my own way.

That pushes me to concentrate on my health by doing everything in a natural way from lifestyle, food, and supplements.
