Instagram is the top social media platform people use to share images and videos. It also acts as a source of information for fans to know about their favorite celebrities. Famous actor, and bodybuilder Martyn Ford, is in the headlines for the wrong reason. During his trip to Dubai, the famous bodybuilder shared an Instagram reel where the actor indulged in a game of Tug of War with a Liger. 

The incident did not go well among his fans, and the World Scariest Man received a lot of online bashing.

Martyn Ford, forty years of age, is a British-origin bodybuilder, actor, gym trainer, fitness model, and Instagram star. Moreover, he has also been a part of notable films such as “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” and “Marine 6: Close Quarters”, to name a few. The actor is also the head of Ignite Nutrition, a health supplement, and sports apparel brand.

Ford landed in deep troubled waters when he filmed himself while playing a Tug of War game with a caged Liger. In the video, Ford was seen pulling the rope on one end, and on the other side of the cage was a Liger with the other end of the rope in its mouth.

 However, the bodybuilder quickly grabbed the attention of Emily Wilson, Head of Campaigns at Four Paws UK. She said, “We are appalled to see Martyn Ford share this cruel footage with his four million-strong following, and advocate for such abhorrent behaviour against animals.“
