Due to health problems, he has turned to taking better care of himself, the veteran comedian said. “Nong Chachacha.” He reduced his weight from 103 to 80 kilograms over three months, denying rumors of serious illness and confirming that he has no chronic diseases. Recently, at a movie launch event, he explained the situation.
The reason for my weight loss is that I want to take better care of myself because I'm older now. I know that once you’re over 50, you have to take care of yourself. I haven’t started intense exercise yet; I just cut back on rice and starch a bit to feel better. When I climb stairs, my knees and legs hurt. At 50, if you don’t take care of yourself, it’s tough. I was overweight at 103 kilograms, and when I gained weight again, my legs hurt. So I decided to lose weight again and dropped 23 kilograms. Now at 80 kilograms, I’m more agile. Bending down to tie my shoes or do other things feels much easier.
There have been many rumors about serious illness, asking if I’m sick or not. Actually, I’m just too thin. I used to be overweight, so when I lose weight, my face becomes gaunt, and my neck and hands look shriveled. That’s why I plan to gain about 5 kilograms to have a bit more fullness in my cheeks. I admit it’s tiring having to eat boiled eggs, though sometimes when my family takes me out to eat, I join them—I’m not eating boiled eggs every day.
Regarding negative comments, why should we read them? When I see negative comments, I just scroll past. Everyone is different; no two people are the same. So anyone can say anything—it’s fine. If they say something nice, that’s good for them and good for me too. It’s like mutual praise. So I’m not too concerned. Everyone can criticize; it’s not that they can’t. Criticism is allowed.
To those who want to exercise, the most important thing is shoes. Whether you run or work out, buy good shoes that support your feet. It’s worth spending a little more because it helps your health.
