EXCLUSIVE: Amazon boss Jeff Bezos once again shows of his buff body as he cozies up to girlfriend Lauren Sanchez on a boat trip with their family during holiday season in St-Barts. The divorcee, who split from ex-wife MacKenzie Scott in 2019, looked tanned, buff and a far cry from the geeky tech nerd he once was as he cosied up to current squeeze Lauren Sanchez on the Caribbean island. Estimated to be worth £156.8billion ($210billion), Bezos is the second richest man in the world after Elon Musk - and he's undergone a spectacular image transformation since finding his fortune in online shopping. Perhaps the biggest change to Bezos' image in recent years is that he appears to have hit the gym in earnest, substantially beefing up his frame. While the young Bezos was a little rounder of face, by the time he had amassed his fortune he had slimmed down and sported a lean look. However, since meeting new squeeze Lauren Sanchez - but as early as 2017 when he was still with his wife Mackenzie, Bezos has beefed up considerably, sporting the kind of physique usually reserved for action heroes. The 57-year-old puts his newfound beef down to lots of sleep - eight hours a night, a healthy diet and plenty of working out. Even so, Bezos has largely kept his body under wraps until now...but the hot weather in St Barts has clearly left him keen to let loose and showcase the hard work he has put in on making himself more toned. The star oozed confidence on his holiday with lover Sanchez in one of the first sightings of him strutting around in just a pair of shorts. 26 Dec 2021 Pictured: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.

Will Smith is ready to get back in the gym and cut those ‘midnight muffins’ out of his diet! The beloved actor, 52, took to Instagram on May 4, one day after confessing that he was in the “worst shape” of his life, and showed off another shirtless photo of himself posing for the camera in short shorts. The boomerang video, captured by Aidan Tanner & Westbrook Media, featured the song “Don’t Cha” by The Pussycat Dolls playing as the audio. Will looked quite confident in his tiny shorts, but told his fans that he was ready for a change in the caption to the clip.

Will’s resolute Instagram post comes just one day after he shared the above photo, featuring the Oscar nominated actor in little shorts, a windbreaker, and totally shirtless. “I’m gonna be real wit yall – I’m in the worst shape of my life,” Will told his fans and followers. Although Will got a lot of love from famous friends and fans alike with his May 3 post, his recent message definitely let everyone know that he is ready for a change.

With such an successful, decades-long career, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum is no stranger to enduring major body transformations for roles and more. He’s transformed into real life people and action stars alike throughout his career. In recent years, the actor has continued to push the envelope with physical roles in action-packed movies like Bad Boys for Life, Gemini Man, Suicide Squad and more.

Up next, however, fans will see him become Richard Williams, the father of tennis living legends Venus and Serena Williams, in the forthcoming movie King Richard. We have no doubt that Will is more than ready to get back in the gym, and we cannot wait to see his healthy journey unfold on YouTube!
