Before we talk about the Liver King documentary, we lived in the age of The Lion King and the Tiger King, we also have the Liver King. Disney’s The Lion King made money, while Joe Exotic on the Tiger King… well, let’s just say he had his share of issues. Now the Liver King follows suit with a man and his saga – and his lies. Netflix has a new Liver King documentary available entitled UNTOLD: The Liver King.
Who is The Liver King?
Brian Johnson is a Texas native, born in the 70s. As a young boy with a small frame, he claimed he was teased often and felt as though he was a “runt.” Brian looked up to stars like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, impressed by their fit physique. When Brian was older, he adopted a physically fit lifestyle of consuming things like bone broth, raw foods, and eating whole foods. Soon afterwards, he turned to what he called the “ancestral lifestyle.”
The “ancestral lifestyle” that Brian celebrated meant going back to nature, sleeping on a wooden pallet, and performing labor-intensive physical work. He also was a huge fan of cold plunges… brrr. Then Brian‘s boisterous personality eventually led him to create his own brand, peddling lifestyle supplements.
The Liver King’s Lifestyle and Brand
It’s one thing to work out, eat a raw diet, and influence others to stay healthy and physically active. It’s another thing to be in-your-face about it. Brian Johnson took to eating animal organs to include livers, tongues, and ugh… testicles. His veiny bulging body, he said, reflected what he put into it. Brian also claimed his two teenage sons were thin and “sickly” until they started following his diet.
Along with his wife Barbara, AKA (wait for it…) The Liver Queen, he started his own brand. The Liver King showed himself biting into raw organs of cows, bulls, and various other (thankfully, deceased) poor animals, doing various physical stunts, and generally talking smack. Peddling primarily the raw diet and his “supplements,” he pulled in over $100 million in a year. This is what the Liver King documentary will expose.
The Liver King Documentary
Somewhat unsurprisingly, it all came crashing down in 2022 when leaked emails indicated that Brian Johnson, or The Liver King, was taking HGH – human growth hormone. Omnitrope was one of the steroids he was injecting to attain his bulging muscular body. Brian was also paying in excess of $11,000 a month!
UNTOLD: The Liver King documentary covers the beginnings of Brian‘s journey to being a larger than life character, his ancestral lifestyle, and details his downfall. The Liver King has taken off his crown, claiming he got it all wrong. He plans to do better, open up exactly 302 healthy living retreats and to stop lying. Nevermind the retreats; we’ll just be happy if he stops the lying.
