MALAYSIAN CELEBRITY FITNESS personality Jordan Yeoh, rose to fame as a ‘durian hottie’, an incident that he talks about later in the interview, but for someone who is an introvert and has low self-esteem across all aspects of life, Jordan sure has made a name for himself. His millions of followers on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram are testament to what Jordan has achieved in the fitness industry. What a way to turn passion into a livelihood and inspire millions at the same time, right?
One look at his Instagram profile, and that perfect torso, you can say that he can’t afford a t-shirt (don’t take me literally!) A self-proclaimed introvert, he definitely isn’t shy of flaunting and baring it all on social media. A full-time dad to a four-year-old daughter Tiffany, Jordan ‘destroys fat for a living’.
While fitness has had a huge impact in Jordan’s life, he did not have an easy life. “Everyone goes through hardships in life, and so did I. When I was 8-years-old, I was interested in sports and wanted to take up running full time, but despite all my efforts, I could not excel. Then, when I was about 10-years old, I wanted to play badminton, trained hard but could not succeed. I love sports but I did not have the talent to excel in the field. I was also a gamer and a dancer before I found my true calling. I gave up multiple times. But this is what I like about fitness, you do not require talent to go to the gym, what you need is consistency, and I have that, says Jordan.”
