    Anthony Anderson: What happened to the actor as his weight loss sparked speculation online?Agencies
    Anthony Anderson, a comedian and actor, recently appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Anderson's discussion on the connection between type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the most recent episode of the programme generated a lot of interest.

    He uploaded a photo of himself on Instagram which showed that he had lost weight. Netizens were alarmed by the image because they thought he might be ill.

    Nevertheless, other people appreciated the photo because they were proud of his weight reduction because they knew that it had been a lifelong struggle for him.

    Anderson claimed that his diabetes diagnosis followed his incredibly hectic schedule during the height of his career, which left him ignorant of what he was ingesting, in a 2022 interview with Essence.

    One evening when he was thirsty, he remembered feeling something odd in his body. He drank some water to alleviate his thirst but instantly felt the urge to go to the bathroom. After this repeatedly occurred, Anderson saw a doctor the following day.

    His blood sugar was approximately 240 at the time of the examination, and he was subsequently given a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Anthony said that the same issue had impacted his father.

    Anderson admitted that after receiving the diagnosis, he had to make a few adjustments to his routine since he did not want his family to experience what he experienced when his father passed away. He became accustomed to leading a healthy lifestyle.

    The 52-year-old most recently made an appearance in Kenya Barris' romance comedy You People. In addition to Eddie Murphy, it also starred Jonah Hill, Lauren London, David Duchovny, Nia Long, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Nia. Netflix first made the movie available on January 27, 2023.

    In the second season of the Disney+ animated series The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, Anderson will also provide the voice of Ray-Ray.
