In the years since his TV moment, Curtis has became a viral sensation multiple times – and now the video of him famously battling with his fitness fanatic replacement mum, Joy, has resurfaced once again.
One person recently posted to Twitter: "If you’re bored, watch this."
At one point, the kid, from Vanceboro, North Carolina, said: "Chicken nuggets is like my family."
He told Joy: "I don’t wanna be skinny! I wanna be fat and happy."
During one tantrum, the chicken nugget loving tyke wrote “I am not listening to your rules" on a Post-It note.
In another particularly memorable scene, he responded to Joy’s veg and fruits diet by saying: "I gotta tell you something. Bacon is good for me!"
Speaking to the New Statesman in 2017, Curtis said he still loves bacon – and he eats it every single day.
