This Man Turned Into An IRL Disney Prince After Shedding A Ton Of Weight And The Internet Can’t Get Enough Of Him
Massive weight loss turned this guy into a real-life Disney prince
The dating scene these days seems permanently Tinder-fied. Romantic hopefuls hold out hope to meet their real-life Disney prince. They fashion their dream men after the strapping, striking profiles of Ariel’s Prince Eric or Sleeping Beauty’s Prince Phillip. But those men are few and far between. However, 26-year-old dreamboat Jeffrey Kendall of Connecticut is making waves with Disney fans on Instagram. Because he’s shown the world that Disney princes aren’t just the stuff of legend. Instead, they actually exist to rub shoulders with the rest of us mere mortals. The now-svelt Kendall flexes his 70-pound weight loss on Instagram for the viewing pleasure of his growing online fanbase. And I can’t get enough of Kendall’s transformation. Neither can the rest of the Twitterverse. And we didn’t even have to kiss a frog to see it happen.Meet Jeffrey Kendall
Unlike me, 26-year-old Jeffrey Kendall of Connecticut doesn’t process his self-loathing with the help of Ben & Jerry’s and days-long Netflix binges.
Once overweight and ashamed of his appearance, Kendall dropped over 70 pounds while unemployed and caring for his ill mother, transforming into an Internet icon and IRL Disney prince seemingly overnight.
The “Before” Picture

For Kendall, weight had always been an issue. “I was an overweight youth, I was bullied growing up,” he wrote in a Reddit post dedicated to chronicling his transformation. “I’ve lived my life with body-image and confidence issues…I had many plateaus and stalling points but just had to keep on that horse!” Over 70 pounds above his ideal weight, Kendall knew he had to make a change for his own health and happiness.
Making Some Serious Changes
Using a terrible tragedy as a platform for change, Kendall turned his life upside-down after his mother suffered a brain aneurysm.
Juggling to provide her with round-the-clock care while wading through the murky waters of self-loathing, Kendall began accompanying his longtime friend to the gym for weekly workout sessions.
“Looking at myself at the time, I was in a long-running battle with self-image and depression,” he admitted.
Putting In The Work
Kendall’s dedication to his appearance quickly extended far beyond the care of his flowing locks. Soon, his combination of daily push ups, counting calories and making healthier dietary choices led to Kendall shedding the pounds and showing off a jawline that seems to be shaped from stone.
In just under two years, Kendall dropped over 70 pounds and picked up a habit for both hitting the gym and centering himself with sessions of yoga.
