Weighing in at 445 kilograms at his heaviest, Paul Mason was the world’s fattest man. Constricted to his bed because of massive bulk, the 52 year-old had to consume 20,000 calories a day just to keep himself going. That was until he underwent a mammoth surgery procedure at the NHS, which helped him get rid of a staggering 300 kilograms of fat. Now that he’s lean – he’s managed to bag himself a woman with the help of the internet. The fat guy’s got game.

In what can be considered a modern day fairy tale (a la ‘Shrek’), Rebecca Mountain of Boston, Massachusetts, got in touch with Mr Mason via Facebook after she saw a television documentary about his extreme obesity. She must have seen something she liked, because after chatting for three months online, the couple met for the first time just yesterday. Now, he’s planning to go back to the states with her, and have 3kgs of skin removed.

“I saw Paul’s documentary years and years ago and just felt really connected right away. I just felt compelled to reach out and just try to help and that’s all it was”. Which sounds uncannily similair to something known as the friend zone.

At the height of his food addiction, Mason was eating an entire packet of bacon, four sausages and four eggs complete with bread and hash browns for breakfast. Champion.
