Logan Paul Scared Of People Filming Him When He Dies After Suicide ...

Logan Paul has admitted he has a ‘very real fear’ of people filming his body after he dies as ‘retribution’ for his suicide forest controversy.

The YouTuber, who has just turned 25, opened up about his fears about ageing on his recent podcast, admitting: ‘This s**t’s not f***ing stopping, as far as mortality goes.

‘I’m not afraid of death, I’m not afraid of dying, but I love life so much that I prefer to be here as long as f***ing possible.

‘Also I have a very real fear, that I will say now…of dying and people filming my body as retribution for my s**t. It’s a real fear.’

‘I want people to remember this version of me,’ he added. ‘Is it an irrational fear? I don’t know.’

Back in 2018, Logan became public enemy number one when he filmed a dead body in Aokigahara, Japan’s ‘suicide forest’.

The video was on YouTube for 24 hours before it was deleted, with Logan later issuing an apology.

He began: ‘I made a severe and continuous lapse of my judgement and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m just here to apologise. What we came across that day in the woods was obviously unplanned. The reactions that you saw on tape were raw, they were unfiltered.

‘None of us knew how to react or how to feel. I should have never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down and stopped recording what we were going through.

‘There’s a lot of things I should’ve done differently but I didn’t and for that. From the bottom of my heart I’m sorry.’

He took a month away from the internet, and later returned with a suicide awareness video, pledging to donate $1 million (£815,000) to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Mike Majlak, Logan’s best friend and co-host on Impaulsive, later claimed to Metro.co.uk that the horrifying stunt was ‘beneficial’ for him.

‘He’s worked on a lot of personal growth and he’s seen a lot of opportunity for growth in the days post-Tokyo and the days post-controversy,’ Mike said.

‘I think it’s apparent. For anybody to say he hasn’t made that growth, they’d be lying to themselves.’

He went on to say: ‘From a career standpoint for him, it may have caused quite a speedbump for him but, from a personal standpoint and the growth he’s made…It’s hard for me to say I’m happy it happened but I guess, looking back, I’m not unhappy that it happened.
