Behind the energetic Magloire, known to television audiences for his dynamic presence on Morning Live, lies a much darker chapter of his life. In Paris, the former face of the show shared his personal journey with obesity, the weight of 198 kilograms, the death of his mother, and his gradual retreat from the public eye. The public has long associated Magloire with the years spent in television studios, his infectious energy, and the bright persona he projected on screen. However, on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, during an event in Paris titled Parlons Obésité, Magloire spoke with a different tone. Invited to the first panel of the event, he opened up about a time when his weight reached 198 kilograms, during a period of depression and after the death of his mother. Speaking at the Espace Pavé in Paris, Magloire faced Dr. Gérard Kierzek and other participants of the panel Obésité, the disease of the century: anatomy of a silent epidemic. He recounted the emotional and physical toll of his weight gain, explaining that at his heaviest, he could no longer work on television because he could not bear to see himself on screen. "After a depression and the loss of my mother, I reached 198 kilograms," he said. While the figure had been mentioned before, this time it was placed within a broader narrative that traced back to his childhood. For Magloire, the story does not begin with television or fame. He situates his earliest weight problems as far back as the age of 5. His mother, a classical dancer who performed at the Paris Opera, enrolled him in dance classes. He attended them until the age of 11, before having to stop. Adolescence brought new challenges, as Magloire recounted the diets that followed one after another and a growing, difficult relationship with his body. Later, when he worked in the fashion industry, he said he became fascinated by the world around him. This period marked a shift in his life, but it was not without its struggles. Magloire's journey, as he shared at the event, is one of resilience, self-discovery, and the complex interplay between personal history and public identity.
