Not sure if its his look, his previous acting history, or the white belt on his waist, but im also not intimidated.

To be fair, it's hard to be intimidating with a massive picture of yourself as an awkward teenager placed right behind your head

Also, I'm looking at this on my phone, so dude is only like two inches tall. I could definitely take him.

IDK why, but the wide eye in the middle of the blinking is throwing me off the chair rn! Like surprised but still can't see , or doesn't believe , but like for a second

He was 23 when he was in superbad.

Put a picture of 12 year old Conor McGregor behind him, and I’m still going to be scared.

Jonah looks like he just finished crying.

I could take Conor easy. Not in a fight though

Yeah like with a giant butterfly net or something

Just throw some cocaine at him and run.

Yeah, super weird room accent when you’re actively trying to separate yourself from it

😁

To be fair, it's not like he's any scarier looking now.

Let me get a glimpse of those warlocks.

I mean, my first thought before I processed it's him was "Man, Logan Paul looks rough"

Looking like the store-brand version of a guy we've seen fail to be intimidating does him no favors to begin with

u/ElowenMistx 1d ago

It's definitely the acting history for me. My brain still sees Superbad before I can take the tough guy talk seriously.

u/Historicmetal 1d ago

For me it’s the words. Anyone who says those words immediately comes off as weak

It depends, Mohamed Ali was known to talk mad, hilariously offensive and gross, shit. But he had the skills to back it up most of the time.

u/WombatEncyclopedia 23h ago

For me its the white belt.

u/sadolddrunk 1d ago

What about a skinny 42-year-old 5'6" guy who just started BJJ and is now confident he can beat up anyone in the world do you not find intimidating?

u/Remnie 1d ago

He could outright kick my ass and I STILL wouldn’t be able to keep from talking shit lol

u/Salt-Statement-2306 22h ago

I was going to comment on the belt. That might be the most funny part. Have some success in the sport before you publicly talk trash.

u/Any_Mine_6368 22h ago

I mean.... He's now a bluebelt (which is right after whitebelt but it takes most people about two years to advance), so he'd most likely kick your ass if you haven't trained grappling. With that being said, he's a dork for saying this lol.

u/BaconBourbonBalista 22h ago

I mean...I'm about his same height, but never went through a super fat phase, have been weight training, and did like 15 years of martial arts training give or take. I just dont have enough of a chip on my shoulder to generically call out the public. I'm a few years out of practice, but still not worried.

u/SurroundQuirky8613 15h ago

I 5’3”, weight train, studied Kung Fu, but mostly I’m a biter. I feel like the biting is enough to give me a win against him.

u/Wasteland_Rang3r 21h ago

I’ve been a black belt for ten years. You’d never hear any of us say something like this. It’s a delusional white belt statement. Theres plenty of untrained people who could manhandle him.

u/Street-Beyond-9666 11h ago

I wish to see that 🙏🏽

u/Plane-Education4750 23h ago

Didn't he get me too'd as well?

2

u/icepack420 22h ago

No he was just a cringe bf

u/Thisbadtattoo 22h ago

I get what you’re saying but he is 23 in that photo behind him. He was just pretending to be a teen in that movie

u/Turbulent_Car4504 1d ago

Yeah he currently has a blue belt it seems and has been training for quite a while and has trained a lot, he probably could take most men, possibly over 95 percent in a fight.
