Ryan Seacrest’s 'frail' appearance in photo dump has fans concerned for his health: 'On the skinny drugs'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Longtime television host Ryan Seacrest sparked concern among fans this week after sharing a series of recent photos to Instagram that showed a noticeably slimmer figure, prompting comments about his health and well-being.

The 50-year-old 'American Idol' and 'Wheel of Fortune' host uploaded a nine-slide carousel on Monday captioned simply, “lately,” featuring snapshots from his daily life including nature walks, food, fitness, and downtime.

Ryan Seacrest’s latest photos leave fans asking if he’s alright

However, it was the first image that drew the most attention, a full-body shot of Seacrest standing on a wooden dock in an open green field, dressed in a beige short-sleeved button-down shirt tucked into matching pants.

Though the Emmy-winning host appeared relaxed and stylish, fans were quick to point out how loose the clothes looked on him, with many commenting that his arms appeared especially thin and his facial structure more angular than usual.

While the sudden physical change prompted some fans to worry, a source close to Seacrest assured Page Six that his leaner frame is the result of a fresh commitment to health and fitness.

“Ryan has recently been doing a new workout routine — working out with a new trainer, Dodd Romero, combined with Pilates and yoga for the first time,” the insider said. “That’s created a visible change.”

They also added that Seacrest is “feeling great” and “has been enjoying vacation time this summer,” noting that despite the weight loss, he’s been indulging in plenty of pasta and home-cooked meals several of which were shown in his Instagram post.

Internet reacts to Ryan Seacrest’s recent appearance amid concerns over 'frail' look

Television personality Ryan Seacrest is sparking a wave of concern and debate online after fans noted his seemingly thinner appearance in recent public outings and photos.

Many took to social media to express worry over what they described as a “frail” or “gaunt” look.

One user wrote, “He looks frail to me. I hope he's doing ok!”

Another wrote, “Ryan you’re getting too skinny!”

A third chimed in, “Ryan I adore you, but… the big BUT… You are looking too thin. Sometimes being too thin can age a person.”

Comments also included speculation, “Please tell me you're not on the skinny drugs too. You looked great before!!”

Others expressed concern in more direct terms, “Looking weak and frail. You ok?”

One user, while applauding his lifestyle, still remarked, “Love your fitness and eating well, but you're looking pretty gaunt.”

However, not all reactions were critical. Some fans defended Seacrest and pushed back on what they saw as body-shaming.

“I just think it’s rude to tell someone they are too skinny. I get told this a lot and I cannot help it with medication I am on. Be positive and encouraging, y’all,” one supporter commented.

Another added, “Ryan, I respect your love for fitness and eating well… But you’re looking pretty gaunt but you look happy, which is fantastic!”
