MasterChef Australia star Reynold Poernomo stuns fans with his ripped physique as he strips off his chef whites to pose for steamy selfie

MasterChef Australia’s Reynold Poernomo stripped off his chef whites on Thursday to reveal his muscular back in a steamy bathroom selfie.

The reality star appeared to be in the best shape of his life when he posted the shirtless image to his Instagram Stories.

The dessert chef has to hit the gym hard to stay in shape as he continues to build his business around Sydney.

In the cheeky photo, he was wearing only skimpy underwear and jeans.

Poernomo has largely moved out of the spotlight after his time at MasterChef. In 2021, he relaunched desserts inspired by Netflix’s Squid Game.

The star was at the center of a shocking scandal when homophobic comments from 2014 resurfaced on an online forum.

The sickening comments were made under the profile name “reyreyy” and were under a thread titled “First gay couple on Disney Channel.” Do you agree with them?’

The then 20-year-old wrote: “I wish the world made a united decision where they would capture all the gays and put them on a remote island full of gays, straight that way. [people] will be happy and the freaks can go ahead and fuck themselves.’

That comment was followed by another in a thread titled, “Is Homosexuality a Mental Illness?”

“Yeah, end of thread,” Reynold replied.

Reynold later apologized for the comments. In a statement to Daily Mail Australia, he said he was “deeply ashamed” of his comments at the time.

“I would like to offer my sincere and deepest apologies for the comments I made in 2014. I am ashamed of these comments and deeply regret them,” he said.

“At the time these comments were made, I was a very immature, narrow-minded and insular 20-year-old. I have grown and matured tremendously over the past six years. I am no longer the person I was then.

‘I have many friends and colleagues who are part of the LGBTIQ+ community. I support them wholeheartedly and care deeply about them. I am truly sorry and apologize for any offense or pain I have caused.”
