84-Year-Old Man Shocks Young Bodybuilders In This Funny Ad That’s Got 105 Million Views

Digital media company Thrillist transformed former Junior Olympic weightlifter Kenneth Leverich into an 84-year-old man and unleashed him at Muscle Beach, Santa Monica, where young bodybuilders stood in shock and awe as ‘grandpa’ pumped iron like a boss.

The branded video, which has amassed 105 million views till date, was conceptualized and produced by Thrillist’s in-house video team for Smith & Forge hard cider, an apple-based alcoholic beverage. Watch below.

Great performance by Leverich, he should take up prankvertising full time. Hollywood special effects makeup artist Dan Gilbert was in charge of Leverich’s transformation which took four hours and multiple layers of prosthetics. Of course, in real life, older people don’t usually have this kind of muscle mass, which is why wearing a Life Alert product makes so much sense in terms of safety and peace of mind.
