The incredible transformation of Chumlee, of 'The Price of History': is unrecognizable
Austin Russel, better known as Chumlee, was one of the main leads in The Price of History, produced by Leftfield Pictures and aired on the History Channel, which was a worldwide success. Now, fans of the show were surprised by the impressive physical change that the seller of the antique house had.
The price of history premiered in June 2009 and, initially, the intention was to make only 12 chapters that would be broadcast in the United States. According to those projections, the cycle would culminate after a season. No one suspected that the primary idea would end up becoming one of the star formats for the History Channel. Such was the success that it reaped in the initial broadcasts that, over time, it was broadcast in more than 150 countries and consolidated itself as a benchmark of the genre.
The resounding success of the show catapulted its protagonists to become world celebrities. One of the main actors of the docu-reality was Austin Russell who earned the appreciation of the fans. However, the price of fame can backfire on some people, and Chumlee did at one point in his life.
In 2016, he was prosecuted for illegal possession of weapons and possession of drugs. At that difficult time in his life, he fell into addictions and, despite the fact that he was released from prison, he was sentenced to three years of probation. During that period until 2019, Chumlee went to therapy and managed to recover, although he increased his weight considerably and weighed 150 kilos.

In an interview with People magazine, Austin Russell acknowledged: "It's time to think about my health." For this reason, he began a nutritional treatment that led him to lose 20 kilos in two months. This achievement allowed him to undergo bariatric surgery, with the goal of losing 90 kilos in total.
After two years of a rigorous process and great personal motivation, Chumlee recently announced on his Facebook account that he almost achieved his goal: “Can you believe it? I have lost 70 kilos! In addition to expressing his happiness for the progress he has made, he assured that the road is not over and that he will continue working to reach his goal and improve his health condition.
How could it be otherwise, the publication that included the before and after photos of her physical change, generated great repercussions among her thousands of fans. Through his comments, his followers expressed their congratulations and, above all, their support for him to continue on this path.
