New Hulu Doc ‘Get Huge’ Shows the Deadly Toll of Looksmaxxing

The documentary series *Get Huge: Looksmaxxing to Death* examines the world around bodybuilder and supplement entrepreneur Huge, whose Thai home became a gathering place for young men drawn to extreme self-optimisation and rigid ideas of masculinity. It matters because the series explores how online influencers can present risky behaviour as a model for life, while followers may struggle to distinguish performance from reality.

The investigation begins with the January 2023 death of biohacker and penis-enlargement influencer Laith Abdallah Algaz, known as “Leo and Longevity”, who was found in Huge’s home in Pattaya. Thai police concluded he died from blunt force head trauma, but the case remains open; the article also links Huge to the deaths of two other prominent looksmaxxers, Nick Weisser and Josh Brooks, whose circumstances it describes as mysterious. The series, directed by Stacey Lee and executive-produced by journalist T. Jennings Brown, is due to arrive on Hulu on 10 November.
