Netflix has just dropped a new documentary that is as fascinating as it is unsettling—and it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted. Released on May 13, 2025, Untold: The Liver King takes viewers deep into the bizarre and controversial life of Brian Johnson, the influencer better known as the “Liver King.”

Meet the Man Who Eats Like It’s the Stone Age
With 2.9 million followers and a brand built entirely on the supposed health benefits of eating raw meat, Brian Johnson has carved out a niche that’s equal parts curiosity and controversy. The documentary pulls back the curtain on his “ancestral lifestyle”—a routine he claims to have followed for 35 years.
It’s a world of intense physical training, long hours spent in nature, and a diet consisting almost entirely of raw animal products. One of his signature lines—delivered without irony—is: “Why eat vegetables when you can eat testicles?” That alone sets the tone for what viewers can expect.
Fame, Raw Meat, and a Scandal
While his extreme lifestyle has earned him legions of fans, it has also sparked fierce criticism. The tipping point came when Johnson, then 47 years old, was exposed for using steroids to maintain his muscular physique—something that stood in sharp contrast to his all-natural brand image.
Netflix doesn’t shy away from the controversy. The 70-minute film features interviews with Johnson, his family, and his business partners, piecing together the meteoric rise of the Liver King, the scandal that nearly destroyed him, and the polarised reactions that followed.
Not for the Squeamish
Viewer reactions have been mixed—and visceral. Some admitted to feeling physically nauseous while watching scenes of raw organ consumption. Others focused on the ethics of his platform, calling out what they saw as dangerous dietary misinformation and exploitation of sponsors and followers.
Still, for those fascinated by extreme lifestyles, ancestral diets, and the psychology behind viral fame, Untold: The Liver King delivers an unflinching look into a man who has built—and nearly lost—an empire on raw meat and raw ambition.
A Captivating 70 Minutes
From the shock value of his diet to the fallout of his steroid scandal, this documentary is both captivating and unsettling. It’s a portrait of a man who thrives in the extremes, and a reminder that what you see online is often just the tip of a far stranger iceberg. If you have the stomach for it, it’s a wild ride from start to finish.
