Boy George Opens Up About His Weight Loss Journey And Tummy Tuck

Let’s dive into the world of Boy George, an artist who’s never been shy about sharing his story. In his latest memoir, Karma, the iconic singer behind “Karma Chameleon” talks candidly about his journey through life, including a painful tummy tuck and his experience with the weight loss drug Mounjaro. This isn’t just about losing pounds; it’s about embracing change and self-acceptance.

George's Honest Admission: The Painful Tummy Tuck

At 62 years old, Boy George is as bold as ever. In Karma, he reveals that the decision to undergo a tummy tuck wasn’t made lightly. “It was the most painful thing I’ve ever done,” he admits. But George didn’t let the recovery process slow him down. Just days after the surgery, he hit the road with Cyndi Lauper, performing on stage while still attached to a blood bag. Talk about dedication!

Why the Tummy Tuck?

For Boy George, the surgery wasn’t just about aesthetics. After losing an impressive seven stone (about 98 pounds) through the metabolic balance diet, he was left with excess skin that needed to be addressed. “When anyone asks about my scar, I joke that I had twins by cesarean,” he shares with a laugh. “But seriously, I’ve never had Botox, and I might be one of the few people in show business who still looks like themselves. I’m not scared of aging—I’ve grown into who I am. And honestly, I feel sexier now than ever before. Who would’ve thought I’d be saying, ‘Sexy at 60’ and actually meaning it?”

From Ozempic to Mounjaro: George's Weight Loss Journey

Before turning to Mounjaro, Boy George experimented with Ozempic, a weekly injection commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes and widely known as a celebrity weight loss drug. But as he explains in his memoir, the struggle with weight has been a lifelong battle, made even more challenging by the constant scrutiny from the public and media. “We’re all guilty of commenting on someone else’s weight gain, even when we’re carrying extra pounds ourselves,” he reflects.

The Impact of Media Pressure

For someone who loves food and struggles with controlling his appetite, maintaining a healthy weight hasn’t been easy. “I’ve tried everything under the sun, but finally, I think I’ve got it under control,” George says. “And let me tell you, it’s all thanks to Mounjaro. Everyone’s on it these days—if you saw someone slim down dramatically last year, chances are they’re on this wonder drug too.”

George’s dramatic weight loss has been on full display during recent public appearances, showing just how effective the drug has been for him. “I’m not embarrassed to talk about it,” he insists. “If anything, I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished.”

More Confessions: Hair Transplants and Janet Jackson

In addition to discussing his weight loss, George reveals other personal details in his memoir. He admits to having undergone three hair transplants between 2015 and 2018. “No one even noticed I was bald,” he quips. “Isn’t that wild?”

Complicated Relationships: Janet Jackson

George also opens up about his interactions with Janet Jackson, whom he met back in the ‘80s. “She wasn’t exactly welcoming, but I didn’t let that stop me,” he recalls. “I put on my best ‘Boy George’ persona and made sure everyone backstage saw me.”

Their first meeting was awkward, leading George to conclude that they likely won’t cross paths socially anytime soon. “There are certain people I’ll never be friends with unless something miraculous happens,” he confesses. “Janet falls into that category for me.”
