Donaldson’s physical profile cannot be understood without examining his chronic health condition. Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in high school, he has spoken candidly about extreme gastrointestinal flare-ups that triggered dramatic weight drops during his developmental years. At times, the condition stripped down his body mass, giving him a gaunt, slouched appearance that contributed to early viewer assumptions about his size.
Between 2022 and 2024, Donaldson embarked on a disciplined fitness protocol alongside personal trainers and fellow creators. He tracked daily step counts, lifted weights consistently, and dropped his body fat percentage from over 30% down to the mid-teens. Adding upper-back muscle mass straightened his resting posture. As his shoulders broadened and his neck alignment improved, casual followers suddenly started asking if he had experienced a late growth spurt. He hadn't grown taller; he simply stopped compressing his spine.
