Sad if true and very hard to imagine.
It's true. He's pretty overweight now.
I met him prior to his comeback in the late 90s. He was very, very fat. I would guesstimate 30% BF or higher. There was no sense that there was a 28inch waist there. He was wearing 44 waist pants and laughing with me and his training partner about it.
He had the confident shameless view of being fat that you only see on bodybuilders who know that when they're in shape, they're unbeatable and look more perfect than nearly any man on earth.
He was very funny, had a great sense of humor, and of course, looked a lot younger than he was (even though he was fat). I remember him being about 5'10" to 6', or somewhere in there. In true island style, he was walking around in some light pants, flip flops and a mesh see-thru white shirt. This, in the corporate building where we met.
We went out to lunch after the meeting and he ran the bill up. He ate like a starving man. But he had the whole party in stitches, so it was worth it.
