Both of Zane Watson’s parents competed in bodybuilding competitions in Canada and his father ran a successful fitness center chain. However, he struggled with drug addiction for a long time which cost him the business. Unfortunately, Zane Watson also developed similar problems and even served a six-month prison sentence as a teenager.
