Zac Aynsley has gone from zero to hero. From the bullied to just buff.
The 21-year-old lad is now making serious wedge and has allegedly been offered £750,000 to sleep with a male Hollywood actor.
It's a long way from the jibes he received during his school days.

"My whole life, I have always been put down and told I was a loser," Zac told the Mirror.
"I was badly bullied and cried countless times because people would laugh at me for the way I looked."
Today, 'Mr Biceps', is one of the biggest faces in the fitness industry and boasts 500k followers on his social media platforms.
"When I was a kid, I was painfully shy and had zero confidence. That's why I was picked on so much because I was this skinny weakling, who wouldn't say anything.

"I would walk into a classroom and everyone would just start sniggering and laughing at me, but never let me in on the joke. It would make me feel so self-conscious, to the point where it was hell everyday.
"Because of this I used to suffer terrible panic attacks during the night and anxiety all day. I wouldn't speak to anyone, my head was down all the time and I was deeply depressed.
"Even today, I'm still affected by it all and still suffer with attacks even though my life and look has changed dramatically."
Three years ago, Newcastle-born Zac decided he wanted to change himself. To get hench.

He began lifting and grafting on his physique and was eventually discovered as a model on the off-chance. It resulted in a meeting with his idol, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"Arnie was a great guy, he told me I looked amazing, and had great arms. Just to hear that from someone I admired so much, was incredible.

"For years I had people telling me I was worthless, but here was The Terminator telling me I looked great. It meant the world to me."
Soon enough, Zac was parting on yachts with billionaires, raking in remarkable money and getting propositioned by A-listers.
"Once a male Hollywood movie star offered me £750,000 to sleep with him.
"I honestly thought he was joking, but then he went into detail and told me he wanted to film it. I was in shock.

"Anyone would be tempted by that amount of money, but it would have been on my mind for life. I know I'll be making that amount of money in the future without having to sell myself in that way."
Besides, Zac is happy with his model girlfriend, Abbey.
Fair play to him.
