Jimmy Donaldson alias MrBeast participated in a fasting challenge, in a video posted on his channel on 2nd July, 2022. During the course of this challenge, he was not allowed to eat food for thirty days, in which he lasted fourteen days. However, during the challenge, he was seen in a video making a chocolate factory, quite similar to the Johnny Depp starrer Willy Wonka, but the catch was that he couldn't eat due to the fasting challenge.

In fact, he even met Gordon Ramsay, during his challenge. Now it's completely understandable that he lost the challenge, because of the smell of chocolate and with Gordon Ramsay himself making food for you, nobody can resist that.

Does MrBeast have cancer?

Fans of MrBeast got a bit worried when they saw Jimmy bald and jumped to this conclusion; which also made sense, because recently a fellow YouTube content creator and gamer Technoblade died due to cancer at the age of twenty three. However, Jimmy doesn’t have cancer, but just lost a fasting challenge.

Regarding Jimmy’s health, he is fine, but has lost around 18lbs in two weeks. Jimmy revealed in a video that he suffers from Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory bowel disease that causes chronic inflammation. Thus, he participated in the fasting challenge, so it was a good arrangement for him on either side.

How did the question of MrBeast going bald get raised?

In one of his videos on June 16th 2022, Jimmy claimed that “he is bald now” and usually he keeps his hairs in front of his forehead, thus, it isn’t clear enough to see. Jimmy didn’t reveal the reason behind his bald head, until he released a video on 2nd July.

However, Dr. Gary Linkov posted a YouTube Short, explaining that maybe MrBeast is trying to hide his receding hairline, to which Jimmy didn’t reply. In fact some people also read and posted reports of clinics and surveys on going bald. According to them, 25% of men worldwide go bald by the age of 21.
