Popular YouTuber MrBeast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, left his 212 million subscribers on the edge of their seats as he voluntarily spent seven days buried alive in a transparent coffin.
The daring stunt, inspired by Uma Thurman's iconic scene in "Kill Bill," garnered over 57 million views, but not without its share of mental and emotional challenges.
Claustrophobic nightmare unfolds
Despite his warnings not to attempt the stunt at home, Donaldson's week-long subterranean adventure sparked a wave of anxiety among viewers.
The 25-year-old, who reportedly earns millions monthly through ad revenue, cried several times during the voluntary entombment, citing "mental agony" as he faced the psychological toll of confinement.
The transparent coffin, equipped with cameras and necessities, added a futuristic touch to the already extreme challenge.
MrBeast Breaks his own record
No stranger to pushing boundaries, MrBeast shattered his previous record of being buried alive for 50 hours in 2021.
The seven-day dirt nap proved to be not only a physical but a psychological test for the young YouTuber. Concerns arose about potential blood clots in his legs, a result of prolonged confinement, but thankfully, he emerged unscathed, marking another triumph in his repertoire of extreme challenges.
Philanthropy and controversy
Beyond his adrenaline-pumping stunts, Donaldson is renowned for his acts of philanthropy, ranging from tipping a server with a car to funding the construction of 100 wells in Africa.
However, the internet sensation recently faced criticism, accused of "monetizing kindness" and being a "white male figure" after the well-funding initiative. The dichotomy between extreme challenges and charitable deeds continues to fuel debates surrounding MrBeast's online presence.
