Eddie Hall, nicknamed "The Beast," is a British former professional strongman born in 1988 in Stoke-on-Trent, England. He rose to global prominence in 2017 when he became the first person to deadlift 500kg (1,102lbs) under official competition conditions, winning the World's Strongest Man title that same year.
Before his strongman career, Hall was a national champion swimmer in his youth. He later worked as a mechanic while developing his strength training. At his competitive peak, he weighed around 400 pounds and consumed up to 12,000 calories daily.
After retiring from strongman competition in 2017, Hall transformed his physique, losing significant weight while maintaining strength. He's ventured into boxing, acting, and television, appearing in shows like "The Strongest Man in History" and several documentaries. He remains a popular figure in strength sports through his YouTube channel and other media appearances.
