Photos published in June 2025 showing YouTuber and prankster Vitaly Zdorovetskiy looking gaunt inside a Philippine jail have resurfaced online, prompting renewed debate about his health. The images, released after his transfer to a maximum-security facility, showed a stark contrast to his previously muscular appearance.
Two months on, discussion continues over whether the change reflects the severe conditions of imprisonment, the sudden end of performance-enhancing substances, or a combination of both. While there is no confirmed evidence that steroids were involved, speculation has persisted due to the speed and scale of his physical decline.
