Veteran CBS Sports anchor James Brown recently won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2024 National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS).
American CBS sportscaster James Brown accepted the honor at the event; however, his slimmer looks sparked online speculation that he might be suffering from some terminal illness.
Netizens quickly commented on his social posts with illness speculations, pointing out James Brown’s drastic weight loss.
One wrote,
“He definitely looks thinner, compared to last season. I hope it’s not some form of illness. Perhaps, he’s one of those discipline people that can lose weight.“
However, despite such online speculations, CBS broadcast legend James Brown has not mentioned any illnesses or health issues related to his weight loss.
Previously, in 2018, James Brown underwent a significant weight loss journey, losing 80 pounds!
If you have been following CBS host James Brown, this is not the first time his physique has transformed intentionally without suffering from any illness.
In early 2018, James Brown revealed he had lost 80 pounds after getting rather negative criticism from his colleagues in an interview with Harry Connick Jr.
He recalled a time when he told Howie Long that he was swimming for cardio, but he replied, “that must be a sight you must look like a wildebeest in the pool.”
Also, it is not the first remark that James Brown received from Howie Long. The CBS host has been vocal about Howie’s remarks, once revealing that Howie had told him he looked like a swollen tick.
After hearing such a remark, James Brown lost weight and achieved a slimmer physique. However, when he told Howie about it, he responded, “That’s like taking a cup of water out of the Atlantic Ocean…“
He said, “I did I lost that a grand total of about 80 pounds.” He revealed he achieved this by following a strict diet plan and living a healthier lifestyle.
The three-time Emmy award-winning broadcaster credited NutriMost Wellness & Weight Loss for his amazing transformation.
In the following years, it seemed like he had regained some weight, but now he looked slimmer.
So, it appears that this time, instead of suffering from illness, James Brown might be losing weight on purpose to lead a healthier life.
One fan wrote, “Didn’t he lose weight not too long ago and gain it back?! I know how that goes!“
