Boy George Gets Candid About Body Image
In the book, the musician admitted that he struggled with his weight most of his life, and since he's a public figure, he noted that the media scrutiny didn't help with his situation.
"We are all guilty of saying, 'Hasn't so-and-so got big,' even when we are carrying extra pounds ourselves," he wrote. (via People Magazine)
Since the singer couldn't control his desire to eat, he later got it controlled thanks to the medication he used.
"Well, I'm on Mounjaro. Isn't everyone?... Trust me anyone who was fat last year and is now skinny is on the wonder drug," he revealed.
Boy George Got a Tummy Tuck
He later detailed in his book the cosmetic procedures he underwent to achieve his body, saying one operation was the most painful thing he had ever done.
"I had a tummy tuck not long after, which was the most painful thing I've ever done because I went on tour straight after with Cyndi Lauper with the blood bag attached," he recalled.
In addition to the tummy tuck, he also had three hair transplants from 2015 to 2018, two of which were done in Ireland while the other one was in Los Angeles, California.
It appeared that all of the procedures paid off as Boy George is contented with his physical appearance, as he added, "I think I've grown into myself. It might seem weird to say I feel sexier but I actually do. I used to joke over the years, 'Sexy at 60.' That was my ambition."
