It's not the first time Eben Etzebeth has had grown men on the internet quivering at the sight of him.
Last year, a UFC commentator labelled Eben a 'monster' after he was spotted with World Champion Dricus du Plessis.
'Who is that guy?' the man asked.
Meanwhile, Eben Etzebeth will soon swap his aggressive antics for daddy duty as he prepares to welcome another baby.
Last month, the lock and his wife Anlia announced that they were expecting their second child, a baby girl.
Anlia – a professional singer -announced in a sweet Instagram post. The couple wed in 2023 and a year later welcomed their first daughter. View this post on Instagram

Rami Malek goes rogue in new action thriller ‘The Amateur'
American actor Rami Malek in 'The Amateur'. Image: Supplied Disney+ has announced the highly anticipated arrival of the action-packed movie, 'The Amateur', which follows an IT specialist for the CIA, Charlie Heller, who embarks on a journey of revenge after he lost his wife, who was killed in a London terrorist attack. Heller is adamant about finding the people who were involved in the terrorist attack that killed his wife, as he travels the world in hopes of killing those responsible. However, because violence or guns are not what he is used to, the grieving husband resorts to using his knowledge and intelligence of technology to seek vengeance. 'The Amateur' features a star-studded cast which includes Rami Malek, an Oscar-winning actor who starred in multiple popular movies such as 'Bohemian Rhapsody' as well as 'Mr Robot'. He plays the husband. He has also won numerous accolades for his exceptional acting skills, including a Golden Globe award under the category of Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in 2019, as well as an Oscar for Best Actor.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ During an interview with 'People', Malek shared his thoughts on the 2025 film and what he loved about his character. 'I got to star in an action movie, that is something I never thought I would ever say. I love this character because I find him extremely relatable. A lot of people use the term geek or nerd, but I just see someone who is really underestimated or overlooked,' he shared. The rest of the cast includes Rachel Brosnahan, Caitríona Balfe, Jon Bernthal, Michael Stuhlbarg, Holt McCallany, Julianne Nicholson, Adrian Martinez, Danny Sapani and Laurence Fishburne. Fishburne plays the role of Colonel Henderson, Heller's (Malek) supervisor, who has to train him on how to be an assassin. Training Heller, however, appears to be a difficult task because he knows nothing about guns and seems to even be afraid of holding the gun. 'The Amateur' is now streaming on Disney+

The one-of-a-kind 12-hour artistic meditative performance explores the mystical and transformative power of the night. The production explores and re-images African and European rituals, offering a unique artistic experience that challenges conventional perceptions of performance art. 'There is no fourth wall. No separation between 'actor' and 'audience'. No wings to hide behind. Just a living, breathing ensemble — cast, crew, and our phenomenal guests — each of you co-creating this midnight mise-en-scène with every gesture, gasp, and glance,' Masheane shared with The Citizen. 'We enter not merely a show, but a nocturnal ritual—a bold, unscripted symphony of breath, body, and becoming.' The award-winning Masheane says the characters in this theatre piece don't just perform, but 'they live truthfully under the watchful spotlight of moonlight and metaphor, making magic out of the lines life has improvised for them.'
