A NEWLY resurfaced clip of a young Rob Jenner has fans missing the troubled reality star’s early days, when he was a bonafide hunk.

The clip, which was recently shared on YouTube, comes from early in the series run of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and finds Rob and his famous sisters reminiscing about the now 35-year-old’s tattoos during a Puerto Rican vacation.

While eating breakfast, Rob, wearing a simple wife-beater tee shirt, refuses to talk about his body ink, as his sisters tease and goad him on.

It’s not exactly clear how old the video is, but it features a still-Bruce Jenner and pre-cosmetic surgery Kardashian sisters.

On Reddit, fans couldn’t not notice Rob’s hotness.

“Damn old Rob was fine,” one person posted, while another agreed, “He was very attractive back then.”

Another person claimed to be in heat: “God Rob was so hot. I’m sweating and drooling over here.”

While one person noted the overall look of the entire family: “Their faces were all so human looking back then.”

TIMELINE

Rob, who recently turned 35, has gone through a very public transformation from heartthrob to  ‘depressed’ recluse to doting dad.

Rob was just 20 years old when he stepped into the spotlight alongside his siblings for the premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians in 2007. 

While his appearances would eventually fade over time, it was revealed in a Los Angeles Times interview that he wasn’t expected to have much of a role in the first place. 

“Rob was in college at the time, so we weren’t fully sure how involved he would be [with the show],” executive producer Farnaz Farjam shared.

Luckily, Rob’s schedule allowed him to be present for filming and seemed happy to be filming with this family.

WEIGHT ISSUES

But by 2014, Rob started to noticeably gain weight, and his lack of confidence caused him to completely bail on sister Kim Kardashian’s nuptials to Kanye West that year.

“I was doing my suit fittings in Paris right before the wedding and I just wasn’t comfortable,” he told People while reflecting on the ordeal in 2020.

“There were cameras at the airport on our trip there and I was very unhappy with the person I saw in all the pictures.”

He said he weighed about 300 pounds and just couldn’t get himself to attend the highly publicized event.

Rob doesn’t regret the decision, but feels “upset” he wasn’t there to support his sister.

Rob started getting super serious about his health in 2016, hitting the gym regularly and fueling his body with nutrient-rich foods. 

He was excited about his new routine and revealed his weight loss in a since-deleted post on Instagram.

“Looking from where I started 298lbs to my current weight now 248.4lbs,” he wrote alongside a photo of him posing with Black Chyna, per E! News. 

“I’m focused and determined to reach my goal weight 200-205lbs …. Happy I found my motivation.”

A NEW MAN

Rob wowed his fans in 2020 when he showed up to both Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian’s birthday parties looking cheerful and slim. 

A source told People magazine that year that Rob was feeling “happier and healthier.” 

“[Rob] had a lot of work to do when it comes to his health and he continues to be very committed,” the source confirmed. 

In addition, the source said the whole family was “thrilled” to see his progress both mentally and physically. 

WHAT’S NEXT?

After it was announced that KUWTK had been canceled on E! after 20 seasons, Hulu revealed that they will be picking the show up right where they left off.

Despite being a part of the Kardashian family Rob will reportedly not be seen on the show as much as his famous sisters, Variety reports.

Rob left KUWTK despite him being a fan favorite.

His sister, Khloe told Andy Cohen that he needed a break from the spotlight and the reality TV lifestyle.

“It’s not so much about physical appearance. It’s about how he felt internally about some of the women in his life, and how they treated him or how he felt they might have used him to get to certain areas or levels,” she explained.
