Untold: The Liver King could be an eye-opener to many who follow influencers like they are gods. If you aren't aware of Brian Johnson, or the Liver King, he's a health influencer out to make a fortune by advising people to chomp down bizarre stuff.

Going by the documentary film, the Liver King is a man that can be described as a snake oil salesman at best, though it might actually be an amusing watch if you're a horror fan. But while the horror genre is fictional, the bull that's shot and gutted here for its organ is real.

The docu-film was released last month and is a part of an anthology series. You get to see a lot of things that you may find cringey but, all in all, it gives you a gist of the life of an influencer that cannot be trusted. So, here are a few things that you could find interesting in the film, which make it worth giving a shot.


3 key details from Untold: The Liver King

3. Raw meat consumption

Followers of the guy might already know how he built his $100-million empire. His diet includes not only raw liver but bull testes, too. While there have been several studies that point out that raw meat can be harmful for the body, the Liver King in Untold: The Liver King tells you it has no ill effects.


2. Poor health of his boys

This is literally a shocker, given that Brian is himself a fitness enthusiast, but his children, Rad Ical and Stryker, used to be ill often, and needed medical attention, according to the film. He claims that his regime helped his boys get their health back. Later, he built his own supplements company. His website, where he sells his products, reads,

"10 OUT OF 10 KINGS" PREFER THE LIVER KING BAR... A PRIMAL SNACK THAT'S DELICIOUS AS F*CK."

1. All of it is a lie, the film tells you

This is the biggest takeaway you get from Untold: The Liver King: His ripped physique isn't because he chomped down raw animal organs. It's because he used steroids to maintain his body. At one point. he admitted,

"I want the world to know that I was wrong … I got all of it wrong … I don’t know sh*t."

Untold: The Liver King also mentions that he spent $11,000 a month on these pharmaceuticals.
