SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA: Edward Allen Brown, also known as Big Ed, became popular when he appeared on the TV show '90 Day Fiance'. He started dating Rose Vega, a woman from the Philippines whom he met online. They had a long-distance relationship and eventually met in person when Big Ed traveled to the Philippines. However, their relationship didn't work out well, especially after Big Ed made the decision to undergo a vasectomy and also mistreated her.

His actions on the show upset many fans and viewers and they started disliking him. Recently, Big Ed posted a video on Instagram of himself working out, which received a lot of hate from users on the internet, with some even comparing him to the green cartoon character Shrek.

Big Ed shares a Shaq-inspired fitness video

In a bold move, Big Ed decided to showcase his fitness journey on Instagram, posting a video that got everyone talking. He captioned it, "Working on my @shaq body," clearly hinting at his aspirations to emulate the legendary basketball player's physique. In the video, he could be seen pumping iron, effortlessly lifting dumbbells with each hand, determined to transform himself.

The setting appeared to be a gym, with a punching bag hanging in the background. Donning a tank top and shorts, Big Ed was putting in the work, but little did he know that his followers will be quick to share their opinions on it. The comments section lit up with social media users calling him out, some with a touch of sarcasm, questioning if he could truly achieve Shaq's colossal build. They even compared him to the popular cartoon character Shrek.
