David Dobrik Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Well folks, there's not much breaking news on David Dobrik in the last few days specifically, but let me catch you up on where things stand with the YouTube star.
The big story remains his comeback to YouTube after a nearly three-year hiatus. In January 2025, Dobrik made his triumphant return with a video titled "Surprising Friends with Body Transformation," where he showed off the results of a year-long fitness journey that gave him six-pack abs. The transformation was apparently the result of a bet with MrBeast, and his best friend Ilya Fedorovich, who founded Xeela Fitness, helped him along the way. MrBeast even gifted Fedorovich a new car for his efforts in helping Dobrik get ripped.
The return to YouTube also meant the revival of his podcast Views with Jason Nash. Nash announced on Instagram that they were back after the extended break, thanking fans for their patience. In that first podcast episode back, titled "David Returns to Vlogging," Dobrik joked about the hiatus ending over a lost microphone and cord issues, though he admitted more seriously that he wasn't in the right headspace before but now feels really energized.
The comeback video featured appearances from celebrities like Josh Peck, Corinna Kopf, Olivia Jade Giannulli, Noah Beck, Harry Jowsey, and Dixie D'Amelio. It also showed Dobrik surprising his Doughbrik's Pizza employees with new Teslas as a thank you for keeping the business afloat while he traveled the world during his break. Yes, his pizza restaurant on the Sunset Strip is still going strong.
As for what drove him away in the first place, that three-year absence stemmed from the controversies that erupted in 2021, including allegations around former Vlog Squad member Jeff Wittek's near-fatal excavator accident and sexual assault allegations involving other members. Dobrik has described the period as one of creative burnout and needing to step back from constantly documenting his life.
