MrBeast's cameraman breaks his own record while filming title-smashing Beast Games 2

MrBeast’s cameraman took a break from capturing footage for Beast Games 2 to claim a world record of his own.

The show earned a string of Guinness World Records titles in its first season and is set to break even more in its second outing.

And Tareq Salameh (USA) fancied getting in on the action.

While the show was being filmed in Greenville, North Carolina, last July, Tareq took on his own challenge backstage, attempting the fastest time to unload and load a weight rack.

Tareq had to beat 57.2 seconds in order to claim the record.

After GWR Adjudicator Will Munford started his stopwatch, Tareq worked his way along the rack as quickly as possible, pulling all of the weights down on to the floor.

Working his way down the line until the rack was empty, he then set about picking them all up and putting them back in place.

“I’m so out of breath,” he said after finally coming to a stop.

But his hard work was all worth it when Will announced he’d done it in just 39.8 seconds.

Tareq is the primary cameraman of many of MrBeast’s videos, and has appeared in some of them too.

Beast Games 2 is currently streaming on Amazon Prime and promised to come back bigger and better after the first season broke 44 world records.

This season will see 200 contestants, split into ‘smart’ and ‘strong’ teams, compete for the $5 million prize.

MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, said: “I started making videos in my bedroom when I was 12. To go from that to creating a record-breaking show watched around the world… it doesn’t even feel real sometimes.”

And teasing what we can expect from the new episodes, he told us: “Season one was one of the coolest things we’ve ever done. Seeing people all over the world get hyped about it was insane. 

“We learned a ton from season one and couldn't wait to take it to the next level in a second season. It was a no-brainer.”
