Polish actor, bodybuilder and model Jakub Łoza has died at the age of 41, just two weeks after sharing a poignant final post on social media. His family confirmed the news to his tens of thousands of followers, revealing that only those closest to him were aware of his battle with an unspecified illness.
Final Social Media Post
Two weeks before his death, Łoza wrote online: "I'm currently undergoing treatment — it's a real phase I'm going through. I've never asked, 'Why me?' I've always said, 'Jesus, I trust in You. If this is the path, I accept it.' And you know what? I've never felt more at peace than I do now."
Agent's Tribute
His agent, Ewa Rączy, expressed shock at the news, telling local media it came "completely out of the blue." She said: "We'd only seen each other recently through work. He was active, looked great, and seemed to be in the prime of his life. There was nothing to suggest anything was wrong. I had no indication, either from him or from his loved ones, that he was dealing with any health problems."
Rączy added: "He was excellent in front of the camera, with a natural ease around people. He was young, full of energy, committed and talented, but also warm and kind. The sort of person who gave something good to others — through his presence, professionalism and positive energy. That makes his passing all the harder to come to terms with."
Career and Life
Jakub Łoza was known for roles in popular Polish series and films including Barwy szczęścia, Szpital św. Anny and Najpierw ucichły ptaki. Alongside acting, he worked as a bodybuilder, personal trainer and model, regularly encouraging his followers to look after their health and improve their lifestyle.
He reportedly lived in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, and in November 2018, he placed first in the Classic Bodybuilding category at the UKUP (UK Ultimate Physiques) British Finals.
Funeral
His funeral took place today in his hometown of Rzeszów, Poland.
