LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Before featuring in Britney Spears’ ‘Slumber Party’ video in 2016, Sam Asghari underwent a complete overhaul of his smile that supposedly included getting thousands of dollars worth of dental implants.
The soon-to-be ex-husband of the global superstar also weighed 290 lbs before his introduction to the glamour world, per Daily Mail.
Sam Asghari’s Hollywood glow-up
The Tehran, Iranian-born model and fitness trainer immigrated to the United States with his father in 2006. The now 29-year-old was just 12 years old then.
Per Daily Mail, he started off as a promising young college player in the US. But eventually, he got cut from the college team of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Asghari then moved to Los Angeles to study criminal justice. In order to pay for his daily needs and college education, the then 19-year-old had to take three odd jobs, which made him lead an irregular lifestyle along with relying primarily on junk food.
He was working three jobs, which included being a clerk at Best Buy, and a sales representative at Gold’s Gym. He also worked as a nightclub bouncer.
Speaking about his food habits and lifestyle, Asghari once shared with Men’s Health that at that phase of his life, he was relying primarily on five to six hours of daily sleep was “stress” eating junk food.
He said, “I was eating Doritos for breakfast, fast food, sugar, candy, no protein, a lot of carbs, and drinking sugary sodas.”
He added, “My nutrition was extremely horrible. The stress and the fear of not going anywhere [in life] combined gave me my depression.”
Owing to his tight schedule and unhealthy lifestyle, Asghari who is 6-ft-2 weighed 290 lbs. But that was also when he decided to “restart” his life.
Gold Gym’s Smart Nutrition course was the first step in his journey of transformation. He not only started healthy eating but also exercising.
He also became stringent on his monthly budget for food. Asghari told in the interview with the magazine, “I allowed myself a $50 shopping budget every single week at the grocery store and because of that low budget, I wasn't able to buy other things that would break [my diet].”
He remarked pragmatically, “I didn't eat for pleasure. My eating is now for nutrition and survival.”
The personal trainer had a meal plan consisting of 25 percent protein, 15 percent vegetables, and 25 percent complex carbs. He also lost 100 lbs in just six months.
At one time, had just three percent body fat. His toned body now gained him confidence along with the opportunity to become a model.
After modeling for a few brands, he got a role in Fifth Harmony's ‘Work From Home’ music video. In 2016, he starred with the Grammy-winning superstar Britney Spears and appeared in her ‘Slumber Part’ music video.
The acquaintance gradually became deeper and the pair married in June 2022 after dating for almost six years.
Asghari recently filed for divorce with the ‘Oops… I did it again’ singer listing July 28 as the date of separation.
Sam Asghari got dental implants
In November 2016, the Los Angeles-based dentist Dr Kam Kamangar shared the before and after photos of Asghari’s remarkable dental transformation.
Because of his junk food-based lifestyle, he allegedly got cavities in his mouth.
He reportedly had implants and zirconia crowns which cost him thousands of dollars.
