&#8220;I didn&#8217;t want my stomach to be over the belt anymore,&#8221; he added. &#8220;So I was just like, &#8216;Let me go ahead and get slim.&#8217; After that [picture] went viral, now I&#8217;ve got to live up to it.&#8221;
&#8220;I was 401 pounds. Now I&#8217;m 365,&#8221; Shaq continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to take it back to 345. I want to have muscles everywhere, and I want to do an underwear ad with my sons [for] Fruit of the Loom, baby.&#8221;
