An 8inch man, who went from being a weedy 11-stone teenager to a 23-stone giant, has an army of Instagram fans - and is now hoping to make a film career out of his size.
Martyn Ford, from Minworth in the West Midlands, was first inspired to join the gym when a cricket injury caused his weight to drop - and he 'just carried on'.
Now a whopping 23st 4lb, the 33-year-old dad of one can leg press close to the weight of a Smart car and eats every hour, spending £250 on food each week.
Always tall and strong for his age, Martyn was interested in fitness from the age of 11, and as a teenager he played cricket for Warwickshire.
But he suffered an injury aged 19 and his 6ft 8in frame whittled down to just 11st 5lbs.
The injury hit me quite hard and then psychologically I just gave up,' Marty said
'I suppose a combination of not training and depression took me right down to that sort of weight.'
But he said it was his skinny frame that eventually drove him to join the gym aged 20
His diet plays an important part too and he spends £250 on food every week - just on himself.
'I eat every hour - chicken, fish, egg whites, oats, brown rice, potatoes, loads of veg and I drink lots of water,' he said.
Martyn and his 5ft 5in partner Sacha Stacey, 26, have a three-year-old daughter together, Imogen.
