Former F4 boybander
KEN CHU got fluffy, and
then got even with the
people who called him
the F-word. Here are
other stars who went
through weight woes.The ‘F’ in F4 may now stand for something else for Ken Chu, 38.
At a recent event appearance in Wuxi, China, he shocked many by
showing up noticeably... fluffier. Ken has hit back at the body-shaming
on his Weibo, revealing that he’s been taking medication for
fibromyalgia (a disease which causes chronic muscle pain which Lady
Gaga also suffers from), and that the drugs had caused his weight to
balloon. He added: “I didn’t want to appear in public, but I had to fulfil
my contractual obligations. I’m deeply hurt by the malicious [Chinese
media]. I feel like a pile of feces surrounded by flies.”W h o Yo u

Wilber Pan
The 37-year-old may have made
his name churning out catchy
dance tunes, but he admitted that
he “needs to exercise” more after
Taiwanese news outlets pointed
out that he had gotten tubbier.
He explained that he had piled
on the pounds after suffering
from a bout of pneumonia, and
his parents had urged him to
eat more to recuperate. He also
revealed in a 2008 interview that
food is a source of comfort for
him. He was once so upset about his ex-girlfriend getting hitched that he
stuffed himself with 20 pieces of fried chicken in one sitting.Taylor Swift
Tay-Tay, 27, made the headlines
recently for her performance with
BFF Ed Sheeran at a US radio
station’s Christmas show not only
’cos it was their first time on stage
together since 2013 but also for
her obvious weight gain. It led to
speculation that she might be
preggers with her actor-boyfriend
Joe Alwyn’s kid. Or maybe she just
started on her festive feasting early?
