Omer Halabi | Body of the Century
when 22 year-old Omer Halabi was first contacted by organizers of the Mister Universe contest, he hadn't even heard of the competition. At the time, Halabi was getting read for his third bodybuilding competition. The young stunner had just recently completed his mandatory military service, and his time working as a paratrooper. The organizers reached out after seeing Halabi's images on his Instagram page.
'Given I'd not heard of the competition, at first I did not understand what they wanted from me....'
It's easy to see why the contest's organizers were so taken by Halabi's look and images. On top of having an incredible physique, Halabi also has a beautiful face and eyes, that could beckon most to do almost anything... Although excited about the opportunity, Halabi quickly began confronting an antisemitic backlash, with hateful responses after he posted the news on his social media pages. Although he received many positive responses, they were mixed with a wave of antisemitic and anti-Israel responses. Then there were also the threats which he received through private DMs.
'It saddens me that there are such ignorant people who simply follow the herd I simply ignore them.'
Still, given the threats, Halabi will be joined on his trip to California for the competition with plenty of support, as well as security. Halabi is well aware he's making history representing Israel at the international competition, and he feels the heavy responsibilities that go along with it. He also feels his passion has been fueled, not just represent his own personal looks and beauty, but the beauty of his country and the values he grew up with.
