Country music singer Colt Ford shared that he and Jelly Roll discussed what it feels like losing weight in the public eye and how difficult it can be when known as the 'big guys.'
Country star Colt Ford shared that he and Jelly Roll were able to bond over what it's like to be the 'big guys.' During a recent interview with People, Ford revealed that he and Jelly Roll hung out backstage at one of the 'Save Me' singer's concerts, where they discussed the complicated feelings that come with trying to live a healthier lifestyle when so much of your public image is associated with weight. 'Jelly has lost a bunch of weight,' Ford told the outlet.
Following a near-fatal heart attack in April 2024, Ford committed to an even bigger lifestyle change, revealing he has since given up fried food and soda, and has begun walking more. 'There's much easier diets,' he said. 'But when I tried to lose weight before, when you're as heavy as I was... you feel like you're working hard and you still look in the mirror and go, 'This sucks. I'd rather just go back to Zaxby's.
When I woke up, my wife Megan goes, ‘I'll take you to Waffle House,’' the singer said. 'And I said, ‘Nah, I don’t want to go.’ That’s when I knew I had won. I broke the habit.' Jelly Roll has also been open about his journey to a healthier lifestyle, sharing in November 2024 that he had lost 110 pounds. He debuted his slimmer appearance at the 2024 CMA Awards, where he walked the red carpet alongside his wife, Bunnie XO, and his 15-year-old daughter, Bailee Ann.
