Eric "Butterbean" Esch has lost 16 stone (225 lbs) after weighing over 36 stone (515 lbs) and being confined to a wheelchair. His weight loss was achieved through yoga and dietary changes, allowing him to undergo important hip surgery. Despite his healthier lifestyle, Butterbean still enjoys steak, while avoiding bread, wheat, and dairy. He credits former wrestler Diamond Dallas Page for helping him turn his life around after a difficult period. Now weighing 290 lbs, Butterbean is eager for a comeback and has called out influencer Jake Paul for a fight. He believes he could defeat Paul, who has previously dismissed him as a joke.
