I never imagined getting to play a part like that, he said.

I dont regret it.

I dont know if its something I would do again because it did mess me up a bit.

As well as having young kids.

And I just got a handle on it again.

It doesnt matter, everyones going to think I took Ozempic anyways.

I just sort of got a handle on it.
