During a 2017 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his Logan Paul Vs series, the influencer admitted to sustaining an injury that resulted in him losing 15% of his right testicle. In 2014, Paul was filming a video for his Vine channel when this incident occurred. During the making of the prank, the online vlogger sprang onto an unsteady table at the mall, and the rest is history.
The Tale Of How Logan Paul Damaged His Right Testicle
In 2017, Paul appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to discuss the various mind-boggling stunts and challenges he engaged in during his TV series Logan Paul Vs‘ filming. The online star’s adventurous antics were free of bounds—from engaging in combat with a bear to a wrestling match with an alligator from Louisiana swamplands. But in the end, the experience that led to a troublesome injury was caused by none other than a wobbly table at a mall.
Beginning with the aftermath of the incident, Paul first stated:
“I’ve gotten hurt … Let me tell you about my testicle. It is my right testicle. I’m missing 15% of it.”

This response cued a tax joke by Kimmel. Logan Paul explained how the incident transpired and got to that point. He said that while filming a video, he requested a friend to don a Godzilla mask. Then, they went to a mall, and the WWE star hopped on a table, intended to scare off the onlookers and visitors with an elaborate Godzilla prank. What the Airplane Mode alum hadn’t researched was the table’s stability:
“The table didn’t have four posts. It had one in the middle. It [was] not a sturdy table. So, I jump off it … and I’m full-split, and Jimmy… [winces in recollection] I see a lone chair coming for me. And I landed on my balls.”
On the subject of an operation, the internet star affirmed having waited three days before seeking any treatment. The comparison Paul drew to illustrate the aftermath of his injury reaped a hearty chuckle from host Jimmy Kimmel.

In the same interview, Kimmel questioned whether the YouTube sensation sought any treatment after the embarrassing injury. Paul stated that he had initially decided he was good to go after taking Ibuprofen and ended up waiting three days post-incident. It was a little while until he realized that his pain refused to cease.
Soon after, Paul would tell his friends about the agonizing discomfort, which sparked a humorous analogy to his injuries.
He recalled it in the following way:
“I was with my friends back in Ohio. I was like, ‘Yo… my balls hurt, guys.’ And they’re like, ‘Yo, what does it look like?’ There was an avocado lying there. One of [his friends] picked up the avocado, ‘Is it like this big?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, sh—t. It looks like that, yeah.'”

When Kimmel asked if the social media influencer’s injury looked “green” like the fruit, Paul compared it to “before-ripe” avocadoes, implying it was purple instead. After noticing these unusual changes, the star knew it was time to rush to the hospital.
Ending his anecdote, Logan Paul quipped, “Disclaimer. You can’t tell that I’m (mumbles) missing 15%. But it’s the principle. It’s the principle.”
Years have gone since the incident, and it appears that the once-prankster whose gimmick on YouTube was sensationalized shock jock content is now moving on to solidify his stature in the wrestling and business world instead. Nonetheless, Paul uploads on YouTube occasionally and garners millions of views per video.
