We Heart This Guy

[Blind Gossip] This TV guy has always favored wearing short sleeve T-shirts in public, ostensibly to show off how much he works on his arms.

The funny thing is that, despite his vanity, he always seemed to always be on the brink of chubbiness.

Although he has talked about his recent weight loss, and did it in the context of a health problem, he wasn’t telling the whole truth.

He actually is terrified of dying of a heart attack.

Why is that?

He had an “episode” a couple of years ago. He was at his show and he started having chest pains. He ignored them at first and then went to the emergency room.

Was he having a heart attack?

No, but it was close. He started having all these thoughts of dying. He had nightmares for months after that. He even took a few days off of work (which he never does) and saw an attorney and made out a will. He has all these gadgets now to monitor his heart.

That sounds frightening. Why hasn’t he told this story?

He does not want to compromise his career in any way. It was easier just to tell a lesser story and then get healthy.

We’ve always liked this guy because he is such a unique and entertaining character. Glad to see he is taking charge of his health!

    Simon Cowell. I work out 5 times a week by lifting weights and running. My weight is good. I think I’m in pretty good shape and every time I go to the doctor and he checks my vitals, he says to keep up the good work!

    Ricky Gervais. I don’t know why, but I heart him, too. My health used to be a 10 but I’m about a 3 right now. I vow to climb back up to healthy!

    • 4sixx2 says

      I missed the “despite his vanity” part. Gervais isn’t vane. And everyone’s guess of Cowell makes much more sense. He was always on the verge of chubby. I just don’t understand how y’all could like him, LOL!

    Is this Simon Cowell? He seems to have overdone it a bit on the weight loss, imho. But hey, if he’s healthier this way, then more power to the man.

    Simon Cowell

    Stress kills. Working too much with no relaxing activities and leisure time is a surefire way to an early checkout time.
    I’m a registered nurse, so I’m knowledgeable about healthy diets and choices. I’d give myself about an 8 for overall health. Good genes and DNA makeup for vices like smoking a half a pack a day 😜

    I’m not a fan but good for him getting healthy. He has a young son to care for and a lot of reasons to stick around.

    Simon Cowell always wears tight short-sleeved t-shirts, but if Bob Harper can have a heart attack, anyone can and it has nothing to do with how fit you are.

    Rob Kardashian? I read something about him losing weight recently…

    I’m 55. My health is probably close to others my age, but I suspect it’s a tad bit better. I’ve kept my weight down, low blood pressure & low cholesterol. Those are the big three along with keeping one’s teeth to chew to a longer, healthier life. Not allow worry to cloud my mind has also been a huge advantage.

    No clue on the guy. I feel like I should know it, but nothing’s coming!

    I think I’m at about 7/10 on the health scale. I’m overweight and have diabetes BUT all of that ensures that I see my doctor at least twice a year and have blood work done, and my lab numbers are excellent. I’m healthier than I look!

    First thought was totally Simon Cowell, but I’d find it weird if he didn’t have a will up until recently.

    A surprising number of people here think that a low weight and healthy mean the same thing. You can’t look at someone and tell if they are healthy. If you can, get a job doing good in the medical community because what you are seeing is the markers of blood pressure, cholesterol, and vitamin levels. There are no studies showing increased weight and diseases. Correlation does not equal causation.

      Well said. I was diagnosed with hypertension when I was a totally healthy BMI, and a vegetarian who cycled everywhere! It’s a “silent killer” – and it affects you slowly and gradually.

    I think this is Dog the Bounty Hunter. He had a recent health scare, wears sleeveless shirts and is definitely an “entertaining character”.

  44. Max Power says

    Paul Teutel Snr? He certainly loooves his sleeveless t-shirts and I think there’s a new series of American Chopper being filmed this year?
