Sylvester Stallone, 80, recently opened up in a September 26 interview with The New York Times about his battle with an eating disorder during the preparation for the movie Rambo. He explained that his struggle evolved into an intense focus on maintaining a particular level of fitness. Stallone, who is currently promoting his memoir The Steps, admitted to having bulimia and using steroids, which he now suffers from chronic pain due to. His confession has sparked more conversations about eating disorders among male celebrities. In a similar manner, KJ Apa, known for his role in the Netflix series Riverdale, discussed on a podcast how he had a "catastrophic relationship with food" during the show's production. He described eating donuts throughout the day and then vomiting them up in his dressing room. Apa also talked about methods he uses to manage his eating disorder, including some "chilling techniques." His character in Riverdale is often seen shirtless, which may have contributed to his distorted perception of his body image. Ed Sheeran also shared his experiences with bulimia during an interview with Rolling Stone. He even referenced the issue in his 2021 song "Bad Habits," bringing more attention to the topic through his music. Eating disorders can affect up to one in three individuals, according to some sources, but men often face unique challenges in seeking help. These disorders can be mistaken for sports discipline or muscle-building efforts. Doctors refer to this phenomenon as "bigorexia," which is an obsession with building muscle combined with strict control over food intake. The stigma around eating disorders in men can lead to delayed diagnosis, as societal expectations often associate muscularity with health and strength. Stallone's revelations have been seen as a step toward breaking the silence around male eating disorders, encouraging others to seek help. Resources are available through the French Federation of Anorexia and Bulimia (FFAB), which provides support and a telephone listening number.
