Olivier Richters (born 5 September 1989) is a Dutch bodybuilder, actor, model, and the founder and CEO of Muscle Meat. Known for his imposing height of 218 cm and physique, he was the cover model of the November 2018 Netherlands' edition of Men's Health,[1] and subject of a documentary by the magazine.[2] He was interviewed on Good Morning Britain in April 2019[3] in which his upcoming acting roles were discussed, and he revealed as his inspiration Richard Kiel, the actor of equal height who had portrayed the henchman Jaws in two James Bond films.
Due to his size, Richters maintains a regiment of 5,000 calorie intake for filming, and 6,500 to 7,000 calories for all other purposes, within a 24 hour period. The intake is spread out in seven meals, one at 3am, and consists of carbs, rice, meat and vegetables, in addition to an oat shake, made of "ultrafine oats, blended with a whey scoop".[5]
Health
Richters was born with Pectus Excavatum, causing the bones to grow in such a way to squeeze the cardiac muscle. CT-scans revealed his heart was 20% smaller than it should have been. He underwent a procedure involving breaking the ribs and allowing the heart and lungs to continue growing, something made possible due to his still young age at the time. Richters spent six months recovering (two under morphine, his third month was spent learning to gain basic mobility-walking, cycling and swimming- and his fourth month saw a return to weightlifting).[7]
