'Liver King' Arrested in Austin After Bizarre Joe Rogan Comments
The social media and fitness influencer known as the "Liver King" was arrested in Austin, TX.
That's according to KXAN-TV, which reported that the "Liver King's" real name is Brian Johnson, and jail records showed him in custody on the evening of June 24.
The jail records obtained by Men's Journal online do confirm that a Brian Johnson is being held on a potential charge of making terroristic threats.
He was booked at 7:31 p.m. on June 24 by the Austin Police Department, the jail records say. Sources told KXAN that the Johnson on the jail list is the same person as the "Liver King." The Liver King was featured on Untold: The Liver King on Netflix.
"He built a supplement empire by devouring raw meat on social media. And he had the muscles to prove it. But, really, how did the Liver King get so huge?" the Netflix caption reads.
The nature of the alleged threats is not clear, nor is the person they were made against.
However, the "Liver King" recently posted about Rogan: "Joe Rogan, I'm calling you out, my name's Liver King. Man to man, I'm picking a fight with you. I have no training in Jiu-jitsu, you're a black belt, you should dismantle me. But I'm picking a fight with you. Your rules, I'll come to you, whenever you're ready.'
It's not clear whether the Rogan comments have anything to do with the Liver King's arrest, though.
The Liver King has 2.9 million followers on Instagram.
The top video on the Liver King's page shows a man in a police uniform.
Another video starts with the narration, "I'm now recording with the cops outside."
A video was captioned, "Liver king is stood in a shower pouring coffee up his arse picking a fight with Joe rogan before GTA 6." Another video also referenced Rogan.'Liver King' Arrested in Austin After Bizarre Joe Rogan Comments first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 25, 2025

Daisy Edgar-Jones Will Star in a New Adaptation of 'Sense and Sensibility'
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Good news has arrived for Jane Austen fans. The author's classic novel, Sense and Sensibility, is returning to the big screen. (The book was previously made into the Oscar-winning 1995 film starring Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet.) Here's everything we know about the remake. Sense and Sensibility follows the three Dashwood sisters and their mother, now a widow, in 18th-century England. The family is forced to leave their lavish Sussex family estate and move in with a distant relative who lives in a quaint cottage. There, the two eldest sisters, Elinor and Marianne, begin contrasting journeys of love and loss. ELLE's April 2025 cover star Daisy Edgar-Jones is set to lead the film. She'll play Elinor Dashwood, the eldest sister of the three siblings. In her cover story, Edgar-Jones spoke about the importance of playing layered characters. 'It's great that more and more stories are being made with women front and center,' she said. 'It's also an interesting thing, being a woman in your 20s, wanting to find characters who are not always ingenues. You want to find characters with agency. I want every character I play to be complicated and deep and have layers to them, because that's what it is to be human. I feel lucky that a lot of the characters I've played have had that. They aren't defined by their actions or their experiences, or by the men in their life.' Edgar-Jones celebrated the Sense and Sensibility news on Instagram in a photo posted today that shows her holding the book. She wrote a simple caption, '👀.' Other cast members have not yet been announced. The Sense and Sensibility remake will be brought to you by Focus Features and Working Title Films. Georgia Oakley (Blue Jean) will direct, and the bestselling author Diana Reid (Love & Virtue) will write the screenplay. According to Reid, filming begins next month. Not yet, though according to Focus Features, 'it's coming soon.' This story will be updated.

Selena Gomez Debuts New '70s-inspired Shag Hairstyle and Fresh Bob Trim
Who says Selena Gomez can't pull off a shag? The 32-year-old actress signified the end of her clean-girl era over the weekend, debuting new '70s-inspired hair comprised of messy layers and forehead fringe on Instagram. In the selfie, she flashed an open-mouthed smile at the camera; her dark brown tresses tangled and curled around her face. The caption read: 'I would, but I'd regret it, then get it redone so I simply wont #bangs.' More from WWD Tyla Channels Y2K Glamour in Roberto Cavalli Minidress at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards 2025 Ariana Madix Brings Dramatic Hair Transformations to 'Love Island USA' Season Seven Prada Introduces Juicy 'Banana Yellow' Lip Balm Inspired by Archive Fruit Motif Unlike the even-trimmed micro bangs seen on Pamela Anderson and Anna Wintour, Gomez purposefully took a disheveled approach. Her front pieces were, instead, chopped every which way, at all different lengths like she'd done it herself. Yet, the former Disney Channel star tapped celebrity hair artist Orlando Pita, who revealed the hair was a wig. Harking back to haircut trends of the past, the bedhead style, namely the shag was extremely popular during the '70s. Storied actresses and beloved musicians such as Jane Fonda, Farrah Fawcett, Mick Jagger and Joan Jett boasted the hairdo in more ways than one. Some kept the body of their hair full, while others thinned their locks with lots of layers. Gomez's shag falls somewhere in the middle. The 'Only Murders in the Building' lead has kept her hair short for some time now. In fact, she led the charge in the mod bob haircut movement, which has now won over a slew of female celebrities, including Sofia Richie Grainge, Jenna Bush Hager and Keke Palmer. However, she has been letting her bob grow past the typical shoulder-length parameter. For this hair reveal, Gomez played with '60s-inspired makeup using brown tones to carve abstract designs across her lids. A medium brown shadow was used to draw a line from the outer corners of her eyes underneath her brow bone like inverse wings. Meanwhile, her cheeks were dusted in peach-colored blush, her lips were painted in a coral hue and her brows were brushed up and matted down. Gomez recently drew inspiration from '70s fashion for a Rare Beauty event in May. Honoring her beauty business' fourth annual Mental Health Summit, the makeup mogul wore light blue, wide-legged denim pants with a flare silhouette and a white blazer with exaggerated shoulder accents. She partnered the clothing with pointy white pumps.

Brooklyn Beckham wishes father-in-law happy birthday after snubbing his own dad
Brooklyn Beckham has wished his father-in-law, Nelson Peltz, a happy birthday after snubbing his own dad, David Beckham}. On Wednesday, the 26-year-old took to his Instagram Stories to celebrate the 83rd birthday of his wife Nicola Peltz's father. Brooklyn shared a photo of himself and his actress wife posing with Nelson, captioning it, "Happy Birthday Nelson x we love you (red heart emoji)." Nicola, 30, also took to Instagram to wish the businessman a happy birthday, sharing a sweet photo of him holding her as a baby. "Happy birthday to my king!!" the actress wrote alongside the snap. "I'm so lucky to call you my dad, and you're the most loving and supportive dad I could ever dream of! I love you so much!! I hope all your wishes come true!!" Brooklyn's heartfelt tribute comes weeks after he and Nicola reportedly skipped his dad's 50th birthday celebrations in his native London in May. It has since been rumoured that the social media personality and the actress avoided the event due to tensions with the rest of the Beckham family. It has also been reported that Brooklyn and Nicola refused to attend the glitzy event because he had previously dated his brother Romeo's then-girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who attended the party. However, Brooklyn's youngest brother Cruz, 20, later clarified that Brooklyn and Kim were never a couple. Brooklyn and Nicola tied the knot in 2022.
