AI Glow Up: How to Create AI Body Transformations Getting +70 Million Views
A 64-year-old man who goes from washed up to having a fitness model physique? A 200 to 100 kg evolution documented in 30 seconds?
Welcome to the AI Glow Up trend, the AI body transformation format that's breaking TikTok.
The account @tom.rhoe racked up 70.3 million views in 5 days. His first video: 40 million views. He posts one video a day. People comment "respect king", "incredible discipline". Nobody realizes it's AI.
Another account, @universoai, posts evolutions like "200 to 100 kg made with AI" with 512K likes on a single video. No camera, no gym, no real person.
The technical barrier has disappeared. You no longer need to film months of progress. With AI tools, you create a viral transformation in minutes.
AI Glow Up: What is this trend?
The concept is straightforward: you generate a "before" (overweight, older, defeated look) and an "after" (same person transformed, jacked, rejuvenated) using AI, then package it with an emotional hook and motivational music.
Types of AI Glow Up that work:
- Fitness transformations: Fat to jacked, body evolution
- Revenge arc: "She left me and look at me now"
- Advanced age + fitness: 60+ year old man getting in shape
- Time evolution: AI-generated physical change time-lapse
The format works because it hits universal emotions: self-improvement, discipline, revenge, second chances.
Why does this content work?
TikTok favors content that retains attention and generates interaction. AI Glow Up hits both:
- Emotional hook: Breakup-style lines that grab attention in the first second
- Visual curiosity: The "before" creates a need to see the "after"
- Aspirational: People want to believe the change is possible
- No face needed: Faceless content, infinitely scalable
- Infinitely replicable: Any person, any transformation
The hooks @tom.rhoe uses are breakup lines: "I'm not attracted to you anymore", "one year can't change a man", "the divorce effect". Short, harsh, and they set the stakes from the first second.
See It In Action
Before explaining the process, watch how it works:
In this video we show both processes to create an AI Glow Up from scratch.
The Vuela Process: 2 Options
Option A: Video Cloner (quick)
Ideal when you want to replicate a viral format that's already working with your own music.
- Find a viral video from the trend on TikTok or YouTube
- Go to Vuela → Video Cloner
- Paste the video URL
- Change the background music to a viral one
- Clone
Total time: 2 minutes. Same format that works, new music, your channel.
Option B: Customize the character with Motion Transfer (more original)
Ideal when you want to create your own unique character and 100% original content.
- Take a screenshot of the influencer or before/after you like
- Go to Vuela → Images → Modify that person with different physical features and different background. Do it twice: one for the "before" and one for the "after"
- Go to Motion Transfer on vuela.ai → Upload the viral video → Upload the customized "before" influencer photo
- Repeat Motion Transfer with the "after" photo
Result: Your own character doing exactly the same viral movement. Before and after. 100% original.
Total time: 5 minutes for content nobody else has.
Hook Ideas That Work
| Hook | Emotion |
|---|---|
| "They told me at 64 it was too late" | Overcoming |
| "I'm not attracted to you anymore, she said" | Revenge |
| "One year can't change a man" | Challenge |
| "The divorce effect" | Drama |
| "No discipline my whole life, until enough was enough" | Determination |
| "I stopped making excuses and started making gains" | Motivation |
