A man from the United States has lost an impressive 31 kilograms and in the process, has transformed into a Disney Prince. Yes, that’s right, a real life Prince Charming with glossy locks, a strong jaw-line and crystal blue eyes.

Jeffery Kendall, 26, says he was always overweight as a child, and it wasn’t until he started caring for his sick mother in 2015, that he began to lose the weight.

“I’ve lived my life with body-image and confidence issues. I started my first efforts towards weight loss when I was 12,” he told website Love What Matters.

Jeffery says his mother suffered a brain aneurysm, and was in a coma and rehab hospitals for seven months until her health insurance would no longer cover her. So Jeffrey moved in with his mum and devoted himself to her care.

Seeing his mother is such a vulnerable state gave him perspective and inspired by her condition and strength, he started to take better care of himself. As he lost weight, his friends told him he was starting to resemble a Disney prince.

The aspiring actor and model said he and a good friend both wanted to get fit and in shape, so they started out small, with light weights and push-ups each day.

“Soon I was waking up and going for walks while listening to uplifting music,” he explained.

Eventually Jeffery was working out everyday and following Youtube yoga tutorial classes at home.

Now Jeffery is an internet sensation. His Instagram account, where he has fun posing like Disney princes, is growing in followers every day. His new fans love his positive outlook, while others want to know how he tends his luscious locks.

“A lot of people have been asking my hair care routine. I don’t use any products besides shampoo and conditioner though I’m still learning and trying things out. In terms of care, I just condition daily and use shampoo every 5-7 days,” he answered on Instagram.

“I brush before I shower and before bed and wear a headband a lot around the house to keep it more tidy.”

It sounds like Prince Jeffery is getting his happily ever after. And, as for Jeffery’s mum, Nine Honey reports she’s on the mend.
