Method Man Says ‘American Gladiators’ Michael O’Hearn Inspires His Workouts

Method Man is still a trailblazing force in both Hip Hop and Hollywood … and he’s crediting a real-life American Gladiator, Michael O’Hearn, as a motivator to get muscular!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Tical at LAX this week and he tells us he struck up an online friendship with Michael — AKA Titan on the “American Gladiators” 1990s TV show — who’s sent him tons of gym swag to keep him in tip-top shape … even inspiring his own TICAL Athletics brand.

The rap game is sprinkled with gym rats … Lil Jon, Megan Thee Stallion, Moneybagg Yo, and Benzino, just to name a few … but Meth says it’s guys like Mike who keep him going.

We ask if Meth is open to flaunting the body he’s been sculpting in his roles down the line … and luckily for his gawking fan base, he’s down to show some skinnnnn!!!
