In a candid interview, Paddy opened up about hitting ârock bottomâ before deciding to change his life for the better. He joked that before starting his fitness journey, he looked so bad that people thought his “before” photo had been altered with AI. “I thought Iâd hit rock bottom, so I just had to get myself out of it,” he confessed.
Paddy posed shirtless in black joggers for the Menâs Health cover, holding a 20kg weight plate to show other “regular blokes” that transformation is possible, no matter where you start. “Iâm 52, and itâs nice to show people that itâs attainable,” he said.

However, despite the hard work, he treated himself to a curry and milkshake after completing the challengeâonly to realize it wasnât as fulfilling as he thought. “I ate it, but I felt like sh*t. It made me rethink my habits,” he added.
Paddy also got real about mental health, sharing that his journey made him more aware of the importance of seeking help. âI wouldnât want to end up in that space where everyone thinks youâre fine when youâre not,â he said, showing vulnerability and stressing the importance of mental well-being.
