Of course, as is the case with his famous Hollywood peers, there is a lot of interest in Batalon as a result of his stardom. With that in mind, Batalon had to know when he suddenly lost a lot of weight that people would want to know everything about how the famous actor dropped the pounds. Unfortunately, once Batalon began talking about his weight loss, it didn’t take long for it to become clear that there was a sad truth about the situation.

The Sad Truth About Jacob Batalon’s Weight Loss

On the one hand, the fact that Jacob Batalon changed his body and improved his overall health is a wonderful thing for the actor. Sadly, however, since Batalon let the world in on his body transformation, two sad truths about his weight loss journey have come to light.

Generally speaking, it has always seemed like Jacob Batalon was a very happy person who was leading his best life. After all, to say that Batalon has a great time with his two co-stars, Tom Holland and Zendaya, seems like a massive understatement. On top of that, Batalon has had the great fortune of becoming a rich and famous actor which is the kind of thing that millions of people desire. However, when he took part in the aforementioned Men’s Health interview, Batalon revealed how profoundly being overweight has affected his life in the past.

According to what Jacob Batalon told Men’s Health, his health was in such bad shape that walking upstairs always left him out of breath. On top of that, even when Batalon was inactive, he still found himself feeling exhausted like he’d exerted himself. Worst of all, when Batalon saw himself with his shirt off, Jacob beat himself up emotionally.

“This one day, I saw myself without a shirt on. It was ridiculous. I could not believe I let myself get this far.” Of course, it is sad to learn that Batalon’s body left him feeling so bad and that his health was going downhill. Amazingly enough, however, once Batalon turned things around, the world’s reaction to his new body revealed something sad about society.

Since Jacob Batalon has been open about how he lost so much weight, the actor’s methods are far from a mystery. Despite that, some people opted to disbelieve the actor’s revelations about how he lost weight and decided that he secretly changed his body surgically. If Batalon had gone under the knife to start his weight loss journey, nothing would be wrong with that. However, Batalon has been forced to deny claims he had surgery and it is pretty sad that he was put into that position. After all, it seems dismissive to claim that Batalon had surgery without any evidence at all.
