Ben Yeo’s shirtless birthday moment has everyone hot under the collar

Singapore actor and host Ben Yeo just turned 47 on 23rd September, and he’s celebrating with abs, confidence, and absolutely zero sugar.

To mark the occasion, the Mediacorp star dropped a series of shirtless photos on Instagram, proudly captioned “47 Defined.” The reaction was instant: fire emojis, thirsty comments, and a flood of compliments from celeb friends like Zhang Zetong, Chantalle Ng, Priscelia Chan, and Rebecca Lim to name a few. 

But this wasn’t just a one-off photoshoot or vanity flex. Ben revealed in an interview with 8Days that the transformation was the result of a full year of strict workouts, cardio, and a complete lifestyle overhaul.

“Last time, I had tummy. I didn’t exercise for four years and started getting aches and joint pain. My muscles have also begun to degenerate,” he told the magazine. “I kan cheong already.”

His solution? A disciplined routine of five to six gym sessions a week, cardio twice a day in the lead-up to the shoot, and a hard goodbye to sugar.

“I went cold turkey, like taking drugs,” he joked. “I have a sweet tooth and the first three weeks I was super negative. Then I realised it was the sugar withdrawal.”

Ben currently weighs 64kg, but he’s still working on gaining muscle mass, with 70kg as his next target.

So... was the shirtless moment a classic case of mid-life crisis?

“Of course not,” he laughed. “It’s mid-life confidence. Once you feel stronger, you feel more confident.”

No, there’s no shirtless calendar in the works (unless Mediacorp calls), and he’s not jumping on OnlyFans either. Though he jokes: “Maybe a healthy one.” Whatever that means.

For now, you’ll just have to catch the hot daddy content on his Instagram.
