Here's What Wolf From The 'Gladiators' Is Up To Now

Here's What Wolf From The 'Gladiators' Is Up To Now

'Gladiators... ready!'

If you grew up in the 90s then you'll definitely remember the Saturday evening TV gold that was the Gladiators.

It was fun, as a kid, to watch these super-humans go up against 'normal' people, who were unbelievably fit.

I'm going to guess that your favourite Gladiator was Jet or Hunter and that your least favourite was Wolf.

Wolf was meant to be a baddy; he was the bellend Gladiator we all loved to hate.

His hair used to make me angry and sad at the same time. What did he ask the barber for? 'Just make me look like a twat, please, mate. I really don't want anyone who meets me to like me'.

Anyway, Wolf, whose real name is Michael Van Wijk, is 64 now, which seems mad. And he's still ripped to fuck. Oh and he's got rid of that terrible haircut.


Wolf lives in Aukland, New Zealand, where he owns a gym called 'Wolf's Gym', obviously.

He was also a regular on the Kiwi cage fighting scene. Honestly, that's what he was doing at 60-odd. Fair play to him.

In case you were wondering, Jet is still in pretty good shape, too.

Diane Youdale, Jet's real name, is a coach and physiotherapist now as well as creating her own workout programme.
