This handsome soldier had fans (and some cast members) swooning over his athletic physique and chic attitude, but Dex was a much different person back in high school.

In an interview with his friend and fellow UDT soldier Agent H, who competed on Netflix’s Physical: 100, Dex talked about Single’s Inferno 2, his past, and future plans.

Nowadays, Dex comes across as a charismatic leading man, but as he told Agent H, he was often shy and awkward around women. In fact, he didn’t date at all during high school.

During this storytime, old photos of Dex appeared on screen. This soldier-turned-star is ripped now, but in high school he was much more slender.

…this? He has worked hard for his physique, and it shows!
