Fans expressed their admiration and support for his honesty. Many commended him for his willingness to be genuine about his feelings towards weightlifting and bodybuilding. A fan wrote, “Love that he’s honest as hell. He only does it if he’s paid to. And he’s paid damn well.” However, another fan highlighted that it is not a rule for actors to like bodybuilding, and they limit it to their professional needs only. “Can we at least acknowledge he’s honest, the fact that he’s massive doesn’t mean he has to be a gym bro, he does what he has to do for those fat paychecks.”

The king of Atlantis defied this norm by openly admitting that weightlifting and bodybuilding are not his passions and said, “I don’t touch a weight unless they’re paying me to do it. I don’t enjoy lifting. That’s just genetically Hawaiian.” Some fans also supported his opinions as one wrote, “I mean he ain’t wrong about Hawaiian genetics”. Another fan wrote, “He has all the right in the world to not like lifting, and so does anyone else”.
