I was world’s fattest boy who weighed 30st & couldn’t fit in shower – now I'm unrecognisable & people call me handsome | The Sun

A TEENAGER once dubbed the world's fattest boy has shown off his dramatic transformation after shedding more than half of his body weight and has even been dubbed "handsome".

Arya Permana from Indonesia once weighed 30 stone and was so big that he had to be washed outside in a specially-built pool.



But after embarking on an intense diet and workout routine with a celebrity personal trainer, the 16-year-old is now a healthy weight for his age.

Indonesian MP Dedi Mulyadi, who first met Arya back in 2016 when he went viral for his enormous size, shared pictures of the transformation on his social media.

At his heaviest, then-nine-year-old Arya weighed a staggering 190kg, more than a baby African elephant.

Dedi said on his Instagram that he had visited the chubby tot when he received medical treatment at Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung, West Java.

Another picture shared by Dedi shows the young Arya preparing to be washed by his mother in a specially-built pool in their back garden after he became too large to fit in the shower.

The last two photos show Arya recently.

He seems to be a healthy weight for a 16-year-old and clenches his fists as he shows off his achievements.

Dedi wrote: "On July 12, 2016, I once visited Arya Permana who is receiving medical treatment at Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung.

"Arya weighed 420 pounds at that time. Now that I read through the media, it turns out Arya's body has returned to normal like children in general.

"The kid looks handsome in glasses and turns out he's handsome too. Keep healthy Son, a bright future awaits you. Happy Sunday to all kind netizens wherever you are."

Arya was whipped into shape by celebrity personal trainer and bodybuilder Ade Rai.

Rai, who has more than 600,000 followers on Instagram, started working with Arya back in 2016.

He posted a video of Arya from the time he first met him and now.


Rai told the Jakarta Post at the time: "I only support him. He likes sports. When he was still very fat he liked soccer.

"The kind of support that I can give him is to share with his parents about the importance of keeping to a good diet and their motivation to support Arya.

"Arya is now a symbol of hope. People now say: 'Even Arya can lose weight, so why can't I?'"

As well as exercise and a new diet, Arya also underwent bariatric surgery to reduce the size of his stomach and curb his vast appetite.

Today he weighs around 87kg, or 13 and a half stone, less than half of what he weighed at his heaviest.

Arya's parents said his appetite started to get out of control in 2014 after he turned eight years old.

In just two years, he gained an incredible 11 stone in weight, earning him the nickname "the world's fattest child".
