After appearing on The Jerry Springer Show 27 years ago, Zach Strenkert, 29, is unrecognizable. At 17 months old, baby Zach weighed 70 pounds.
Zach Strenkert became famous after appearing on The Jerry Springer Show in 1996 as a 70-pound baby. Posts on Zach’s social media now show that he is completely unrecognizable.
According to the recently released Netflix documentary “Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera Action,” Zach suffers from a rare condition called Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome, which caused him to grow at a much faster rate than normal.

As a baby, Zach gained about 2.5 pounds and grew 1 inch every two weeks.
“They would introduce me as someone different, which just made me feel even more separated from everyone else,” he told The Mirror about his experience. Zach mentioned that his mother was seeking help from geneticists.
“We didn’t get much money after all the expenses. It was just to make sure your kid was okay,” he said. Today, Zach follows a strict workout routine, focusing on his health and physical condition.
