Meet the real-life Trunks of hit 90’s TV show Dragon Ball Z, who is transforming inside and out to become his idol. Julian Louw, a stunt actor and professional dancer, was first introduced to the popular Japanese anime series when he was teenager and admits that he fell in love with the character of Trunks, connecting to him on a personal level. Three years ago Louw made the decision to embark on a ‘character development project’ to become the real-life Trunks after strangers told him that he resembled the fictional character, but to become a living version would be impossible.

This guy is literally becoming a professional body builder because he wants a perfect cosplay.
*motivation 100*
Its over 9000!
Mad respect for him 💪
Better that those fat mando mercs
Lol
To those who are hating, at least his obsession is encouraging himself to be healthy, no plastic surgery at all.
The Lost Cosmonaut Yet
If I saw a *CASCA* female cosplay, I'd bankroll her PayPal. No joke.
Doesnt he have a witcher swprd tho...
It’s not Healthy to have that body. Just My experiencias say
This guy is way more real than all the fakeass consumer cucks walking the streets.
he did it all natural though so you can't hate this pure man
5k usd a year? Ok boomer
@@adoboFosho Lol, it's like what, 13$ a day? Just two coffee a day are like 1000K year, i think that the cost it's just the proteins and the dyed hair when he do them
SimoneAkaSneeze there is no such number as 1000k
@@pixie968 *10K, my bad mistake
SimoneAkaSneeze k
if he kept his hair blonde he would be supersaiyan trunks
super saiyan trunks hair aren't like that
I was thinking the same thing. He just needs to spike it up and he's good to go
He already got the blue eyes so that is a good idea
LMAO, I didn't think about that
People hating cause they can only crack the Majin Buu physique😂
lol tell em
Onceuponatimetherewasalongnameitwassolongeveryonedied fucking obviously the fat onez
According to recent Dragonball Super episode, Fat Buu got slim in a few hours of training.
Onceuponatimetherewasalongnameitwassolongeveryonedied Now think of which Buu form seems the most insulting.
Fak Yuh Googel Yup!
I’m happy he’s doing it naturally with out surgery or drugs
Just man passionate about his favorite character
Justin Y Not. Still a moron he's and adult trying look like a cartoon character that's embarrassing
Aka DaddyLongDick
Well he’s probably in better shape than you so stay negative keep hating from the couch
Even if u don't know the cartoon, he still looks kinda cool.
@@akadaddylongdick3019 Keep Hating MommyMicropenis this Guy is awesome and made his Dream reality How many People can say that.
@@FxBrour I like dragon ball z but this dude is off his rocker
I came here to laugh at him but when I found out that he works hard for what he loves, I have nothing but respect.
This is true passion.
I came to laugh at you 💀
This really inspired me.
It's especially touching for me because I too have finally become like my favorite Superhero. Endgame Thor.
Oh god 😂
omg same wow are we twins
Now we just need someone inspired enough to become Thanos
Weeaboo Fries, it’s so easy just get a gun, and you would know the rest....
Haha I just got what you meant lol🤣🤣
I have more respect for him since he works hard for his body and doesn’t depend on plastic surgery to get his look
A refreshing chnage, yes
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT DOESNT DEPEND ON PLASTIC SURGERY AND ACTUALLY PUTS IN EFFORT
Pp]]pop
CZ whispers same
Of course not because he wanted to be Trunks. Plastic surgery might give him to look but it would be fake. Also 5,000 a year is not really that much compared to what others spend.
inspiring...well I'm off to buy some green body paint and turbans.
lmao
You also gotta adopt someone's kid and name him gohan.
@@davidkim6169 preferably a martial artist who pays zero attention to his son
Don't forget the turban and shoulder pads have to be weighted!
Piccolo.. please.. dont do it
Coolest weeb ever. I have much respect for this guy. 👊👊👊
@Ken Penalosa calm down dude id rather watch anime then hating and sitting all day being depressed
Weebs dont like dragon ball thought.
@@genesisalexandria7506 im a weeb and i work out
@@sebastians6081 What is weeb according to you?
@@genesisalexandria7506 that whatches at least 3h of anime a day
"I spend 5,000 a year to look like trunks."
No, you spend 5,000 year to stay fit and healthy
Yeah, lol. He makes it sound like a lot - but most people spend WAYYYY more than that each year buying up garbage fast food and shitty food instead of cultivating a legit real healthy diet that provides tons of good value.
Julian inspired me to hit up the gym, I'm starting today people - let's see how far I go in a couple months.
@@-ShiraZen- Where u at now homie?
@@-ShiraZen- bro give us an update
out of all the weirdos i've watched this guy seems the most normal lol
hahahahahahh..yes dude.exactly
Because he's not weird or crazy.. He's just super passionate, he's an adult, it's his life, and people are haters. Look how happy he makes people! I'd be freaking out if I saw this dude. He made his dream a reality.
I got it to 420 like hehehe
I mean he's not doing plastic surgery to get were he is, he's staying fit and healthy and he makes dragon Ball z fans happy so tbh I don't think there's anything wrong. What does he work as tho, I mean to be able to set aside $5000 a year just on aperance
He must have a job up that's really "up there" considering the house that was shown in this doc.
If you'd read the description... Anyway:
a stunt actor and professional dancer
Buzzin Boi well when it’s in small intervals I guess it wouldn’t actually be that much I don’t think I’d say he probably spends a bit less. But to live in Hollywood you do need a decent salary so probably some decent job
5000 a YEAR
thats like.... 10% of what some people would spend on makeup/cosmetics in a year
This dudes actually doin ok.
I'm your 666th like. Trve kvlt
Can’t even get mad he’s in amazing shape and enjoying life fair play
It's a bit silly, sure, but I have mad respect for a dude who's willing to be exactly who he wants to be. Plus, Trunks is an honorable badass, so he's a great character to emulate. Go for it, dude!
Yea! Also this dude is obviously healthy ( and jacked ) so he is going about it a great way.
At least he didnt go to the extreme and get plastic surgery he still kept his looks and doesnt care what others think he doing what HE wants. Props to him
yh he did good job not going plastic
Hopefully he doesn't come slicing my freezer in half..
@Thirsty Girl69 too thirsty
LOL!
Lol
Imagine you, opening the fridge , and this guy coming in slicing the freezer, through the wall!...😂😂😂
That would be (cooler)..than chopping u in half..😁
This guy is so cool! He has also gotten a better quality costume since this was filmed. His cosplays are great

5:00 spiderman immediately losing confidence with trunks intro
BAHAHA 😂🤣🤣😭
I think he is the most normal one i've seen among the people that were on this show
This aint even my final form.
you.....have a good point.....wow...
Zeynep Mental illness!! What's next a chicken man that thinks he's vageta?
Rachel Anderson He wasn't some wacko trying to not break character all the time believing he really was Future Trunks the legend. We saw him go through the changes and the routines he did daily to become his idol. Anyone can get the items to look like Trunks hair dye included, yet not everybody is willing to alter their routines/do the muscle work to really fit the character.
Zeynep true
Dude was Super Saiyan Trunks when he had the natural blond hair though. lol.
Yep
Tragick Hip-Hop he looked way better before tbh
I wish I had an obsession that made me eat healthy and go to the gym. All I like is cheese and alcohol 😩
Watch Z and their workout moments. That will make you fall in love with the gym.
@@missxmarvel I've seen goku scream in agony lol
I'm cool
CHESSEUSJDHFH
Cheese and alcohol? That's wifey material right there.
This comment resonates with me on a spiritual level.
I don't know this character, but I see a man here who is disciplined, passionate, and has found something that makes him feel secure 💜 I hope you continue to discover more ways to fill yourself with confidence my friend. You are worthy of respect and love as yourself, as well as when you transform into your hero.
It's truly a great character. The most tragic character in the series but yet he finds a way to perservere and keep his head up high, honestly one of the better role models in the series.
Trunks is a top tier character. He survived a brutal timeline and risked everything to correct it.
I love how he works for what he wants, doesn’t get plastic surgery like that “ken doll” dude, works for his great figure.! Respect.
lol that’s how I found this video. Props to this guy for maintaining a healthy figure.
Agreed completely. I find that the people who mess with their bodies to attain a look just end up looking worse, but this guy worked hard to change himself naturally to attain a near-perfect Trunks look. Impressive to say the least.
senor villette how do you know tho ?
atleast he worked for the body and the style of how he is talking.
But Ken is plastic so he got actually closer.
just what i was thinking. he actually put in time and effort to look like one and did not take the easy way out.
Respect
talking about a ridiculous healthy addiction
He’s not a weeb he’s an appreciator
Awesome now we need real life Goku and Vegeta.
the hair would be impossible
especially with vegeta's receding hairline
@@adrianpaul1985 Well they will just need a lot of strong gel. 👀😆
@@Da_Pimp_Nugget The forehead of Vegeta is impossible
That's impossible
Gokuflex does a good Goku cosplay
At least he isnt one of those people who gets plastic surgery to look look a character
fr i thought at first he was using sythol or something from the beginning but this is dedication.
NotJordan very
he only had to apply some dark tanning cream to be r-truth.
Yeah he works on it by working out
Right! This one was actually pretty cool to see someone so driven to look like him in a healthy way! I think if he had a more solid/pure color purple, and went a tiny bit shorter and straightened his hair he would be spot on!
The dbz character that resembles me is farmer with shotgun
Mine is Ultra instinct shaggy
Mine is a fusion of Yamcha and Monaka
Majinboo anyone?
Mine is popo
nappa
I can't think of a guy more based. He loves Trunks and is just having fun being himself. Working out and eating right to be like his favorite character.
The purple hair really makes his blue eyes pop.
I bet he is really pissed that in Dragon Ball Super, Trunks got new clothes and blue hair.
Trunks with purple hair was lit :(
😂
He could just dye his hair and get new clothes.
He has the physique, he can easily just change the color of his hair and clothes
IMAO.....funniest comment ever needed that one lol.
So.. he dyed his hair from super sayian to become trunks base form ? Played himself
Yeah, he could have put gel in his hair to spike it up lol
What a legend just all natural hard working chap who loves DBZ and achived his goal that was actually super inspiring!
This is so weird but also I’m proud of him 😂
I'm going to transform myself t look like Cell and go fight this guy in Hollywood.
First Last call us when you do that, we don't wanna miss the show! ;p
First Last 😂
Stellalpina looking forward dude hahahaha that would be fun to watch
Most underrated comment ever
FUK imma join you except imma b majin bu😂
I like him. This seems like a healthy mild obsession. He's not a weirdo like some of the people in other videos
Kay Jack At least he is much better than the guy who tried to become superman.
Ninja turtle girl
The perfect man doesn’t exis-
Nevermind 😍
You also look very nice lady. Oh boy this Will Come as creepy but whatever Just sharing love with everyone.
If there's anyone who could pull off the look of Trunks it would be this man.
WE NEED A GOOD LIVE ACTION DRAGON BALL MOVIE WITH THIS MAN AS TRUNKS
He probably would be down for it too
Heh, I came expecting some lunatic pumped full of drugs and plastic surgery you always hear about
instead just got a person who eats healthy and works out
Even his breakfast is purple
Follygon no lavender pls dont misunderstant
Follygon I noticed that too
The look on his face when he was showing it off: “you see what I did there? 😏”
I’m not gonna lie, I actually like watching this video. The guy is a bodybuilder and is very fit, and has a steady job to be able to afford everything. I think he has a healthy addiction, I’m proud of this man
1:03 he looks like Trunks in the Cell Saga even when he doesn't want to look like Trunks.
BROOOOOOO
Talk about "dont tell him" moments
0:35 superman looking at him salty as hell
Jupiter Javelin 😂😂😂😂
snakevicecity 0 I am fucking dead
Hella salty 😂😂😂
I'm just laughing at that KD diss profile pic! 😂😂😂
yea he's like " I wish these muscles were real ....🙁"
Somehow I don't find this cringey, keep doing what you love bro 😉✌
Nerds 😂
because he has the body type for trunks
Joshy have you gotten laid
It's probably not so cringey because of the muscle training
'cause he doesn't use plastic surgery or pumping himself with silicone
I know who he mains in jump force
And in dragonball fighterz
@@akcalbumreviews3719 Lol Trunks is bad in FighterZ. While his father is god tier.
Yeah.....Boruto
Guess mine
@@w00liamus3 No, it's Trunks.
dude's livin' his best life
Idk if this guys a huge nerd or the coolest man alive?
King Leo can't it be both ?
Lol too true
King Leo biggest loser
Is it wrong if he's both?
at least this dude didnt do what the real life superman did and had surgery.
That's because he has asian features.
As a alltime dragonball z fan. This guy IS Trunks. He is awesome.
Tbh..... I need this man as my mentor irl.... He seems like a really nice and chill guy too
This guys is so cool! I am glad Trunks and DBZ had such an impact on his life and has inspired him so much! Plus it makes him happy.
I do not care if he has an obsession with Trunks, he's healthy and hot! He is a cosplayers dream.
I agree. I would fuck his ass
These comments are great & halarious, I love it
Ariana Allen where u from?
Thirstville
wesjes lmfao
Okay, I've never seen DBZ and the outfit looks really cheaply made, BUT I honestly am impressed. He's healthy and works out for the look. He's not pumped full of silicone and getting 100x surgeries. It just seems to inspire him in a much more positive way compared to all these damn Ken dolls.
You should . Try starting at Dragonball Z the 90's one. Its a Good show. I be you'd like trunks too.
Well. not on this extent. But the Characters Role on the story is Awesome!!
I will, thanks! I watch anime occasionally, but it's one of those shows that somehow slipped my radar.
Make Sure to watch the History of trunks movie
because that movie is why trunks is such a badass.
faeriebilitie. You never seen DBZ?? I can't believe your blasphemy.
faeriebilitie
More like dragon radar. No? Okay.
I started working out recently just to look like broly, this man is awesome
Honestly, he's doing what he loves. And the fact that we're so amused by him, is why we're all here. He's not harming anyone, by slicing them into half like Trunks does with his sword. He can differentiate between fiction and reality. This is just cosplaying at it's finest. To those of you criticising him, he probably is richer, healthier and more broad minded than you are. To be able to stick to your passion, despite the opposition from the society, is a very difficult task.
Ps: I feel the same way for Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho. One fine day, I might just colour my hair red and by some decent costume to reassemble one of my favourite characters.
Yu Yu Hakusho is best anime
A Dragon Ball Fan that ripped... He's basically the Ultimate Otaku that every other anime fans, including myself, should aim to be!
Ryan Tran I like anime and I don't wanna be a anime character tho..
Yeah DBZ has reached a level of fame that you can be a huge fan and still be a normie
This shit actually makes me so happy. This dude accomplished his dreams, that's some real shit
Why would he not be a well adjusted person because of dressing like that character?
I don't think he's just trying to replicate only the visual aspect of the character, Trunks has a good story, attitude, and a noble heart. It's not a bad character to admire.
Besides, i don't think he is trying to be Trunks the whole time. He admires him, but it's not like he goes everywhere trying to kill some androids or trying to become a real super saiyan xD
I have agree with you in that. Building a true own self and forming our own way to be is important. But are we not always using somebody as an example to build our own self? Somebody that can inspire us, somebody that makes you say "I want to be like him (or her) someday!". Of course, i don't think that it's good to try to be 100% as that person, but if you use him/her as an example for you, to form your own self, Is that bad?
Hhmm maybe. We don't know him, maybe he's trying to be Trunks at a 100%, or maybe he's just doing cosplay and he takes some of what Trunks is and implement it in his life. But that is already up to him.
Let's hope he doesn't try to BE him and just use him as an example.
Pay Dough The things is, he's fucking jacked up and probably already fucked like 9000 women on Goku's face.
I've got respect for this guy all the way
I can't be mad, he looks healthy and seems to know the difference between reality and fantasy.
Mad props.
I saw his hair and thought of James from Team Rocket
Other than that he's the living embodiment of Trunks
純粋 PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!
And make it double
James trunks
(Coooollll!)
More power to the man. Hearing his story that he was a "weakling" which sounds like something from DBZ, and now this man has more patience and dedication to his health alone to promote his Trunks physique. There's nothing wrong with the man from what the video showed us. From the look of it he has not had plastic surgery which impresses me, especially in southern California.
John Webb he's taking alot of steroids though
Lord Freeza Supplements and steroids aren't the same lmao
GRACIAS JULIAN POR DARNOS ESE EJEMPLO DE DISCIPLINA Y CONSTANCIA Y DEMOSTRARNOS QUE CON ESFUERZO Y TRABAJO DURO TODO ES POSIBLE EN NUESTRA ACTUALIDAD DONDE SE HAN PERDIDO LOS VALORES.
The guy is awesome I love this dude it's good to see some one like this respect 😃
I'm working on becoming a real life Yajirobe I gotta say things are going pretty good
July G im working for yamchas strength
BLS. Ik hes so underrated like if i had yamchas strength i would be the strongest person alive
wrong. as dope as yamcha is, krillin is the strongest human being.
July G Bruh.
good luck with that all senzu bean diet
Other anime's inspire people to act like weirdo weebs, but DBZ inspires you be healthy lol xD.
Wrong. I did 1000 push-ups in a day (with breaks in between of course) because of DBZ and it turns out I overtrained, which is NOT a healthy thing
XBL GamingHD Same. I did 2K reps with 15lb weights when I was 12 (1 day with breaks). My god that was horrible.
+Nate River You're arms must've been extremely sore the next day
XBL GamingHD Couldn't even lift a cup without my arms violently shaking lol But back then, I thought that was a good thing.
Well of course that's not healthy lol, that's obsessive. Being fit has more to do than exercising excessively.
But if it must be compared to DBZ think about it. Vegeta trains constantly in hopes of being better than Goku, he probably trains even more than him, but somehow he's still not stronger right? Maybe its because Goku takes it easier than him. When he trains he trains hard but when he's not, he relaxes and maintains a healthy life style xD.
In all reality though, you probably shouldn't be basing your physicality off of a cartoon character lol. If you wanna be buff do it for your well being, not cuz you wanna be a Supa Saiya-jin.
Great stuffs buddy, happy for you
He’s pretty awesome, living out every boys childhood dream. Becoming the person his inner kid wanted to be. Can’t knock him at all for this
He's staying in shape and just being a everyday cosplayer, also a lot of people LOVE DBZ including myself so it's pretty cool
it could be worse, i've seen people be obsessed with a lot more crazier things, at least he enjoys it and he's keeping healthy.
Thats f*cked up.. XD
hi five! DBZ was my childhood inspiration, too. 😍 It made me survive the rough days, when I was regularly bullied at school.
I admire this dude for not getting plastic surgery and actually putting in effort for the right reasons. Plus, he seems very knowledgeable on the anime. Keep doing you, dude. :)
The hair could use a trim and a fade all to his ears in the back and sides, but overall, this guy is legit about his dedication
I was thinking the same thing, the hair isn't cut right. Hair isn't just about color, it's about style, too.
It's nicer to see men with different haircuts than the fade
...but it's not accurate, and he's going for accuracy
To be fair, during the cell saga after trunks went into the hyperbolic time chamber he grew out his hair to be long like that. But he also stopped wearing his original clothes so
he has to stay on top of his game, trunks has blue hair now xD
nikki naval yeah lol
Im the 100th person that like this comment!
Yeah true you mean dragon ball super future trunks
Lol
Trunks in super has a blue hair
Blue jacket
And also skinny
This is inspiring... so much hard work and an amazing result! Awesome!
This is incredible. I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole video you go dude!! Lowkey I have developed a new crush haha!
I support him because he's having fun he's happy and he's fit and healthy.
agree'd
Agree 😉
I agree also man.good for him
Tupac Shakur 👍
Tupac Shakur Right bro I feel the same.
I'm glad he got muscles the natural way instead of doing something crazy like fake implants.
Eunmi24 thank you :)
Depends on your definition of natural. Because he is most definitely on synthetic anabolics.
agreed, and damn his physique is amazing♥
Krypt Sanies bullshit. His body is definitely achievable without use of anabolic steroids. He has a great diet and works out a lot. And he still didn't hit the limit yet tbh
To be fair eating senzu beans means you're not natty either.
He looks like he could cosplay as Thor too, and he wouldn't have to get a wig.
He is hooked on the look in a very healthy way.. no harm no hurt ..Just perfect fitness..
This is cool, he seems successful and to be a good person. It doesn't damage his life so maybe more of us should take on alter personas to break away from how boring life can be.
Shane Smith Hmmm...Never thought about that...very interesting!
That's called multiple personality disorder.
Jefjens Mosjens it’s not a disorder if you want another personality
He uses that sword to protect his virginity.

Du de vegeta would be proud
Respect for a guy who has a serious mental disorder and needs help? Professional help. Sickening...
Hes not, taking all those supplements is not healthy. Its a proven fact that isnt how you work out.
lots of brilliant people have mental disorders, ya dumb dumb
Respect for a guy who doesn't take shortcuts in life and works towards his dream, yes. The ones who need help are those who subject themselves to plastic surgery to look different. Using supplements is something you find anywhere. It's standard for athletes. Obesity is also due to mental disorder. Unlike this guy you'll physically die of it.
One word: MAGNIFICENT
this man achieved becoming a super saiyan irl

Wonder how he feels now that Trunks in DBS lost his bulk and changed hair color.
We don't talk about that...
I talk about it because he was awesome and got his time to shine finally
"You think you're F***ing smart! I've become Super Saiyan Blue and you just dye your God-Damn hair! I'll slap your shit boy!"
Nah man. DBS Trunks is a true badass and finally got the chance to play main fiddle like he should've all those years ago. He solo'd the Buu saga by himself when everyone else had to work together and take up hundreds of episodes. That boy became a god level fighter and put a Spirit Bomb in his goddamn sword. It can't get better than this. Trunks is the greatest DB character.
GodAura Gaming Trunks's new Super Sayain Rage makes up for the muscle loss from being on the run on from Black all the time. That and the proper diet and training he got from going back in time.
So handsome! I wish everyone could dress as they feel like without thinking about what other people would say. Can you imagine how interesting would it be to watch?
This man casually became an olympic athlete
I look like the Real Life Yamcha when I sleep on my side.
Xait LOLOL

At least its a healthy addiction?
I totally agree 👌🏼
He looks like Trunks and Thor had a kid, pretty cool. lol
