PopUps: Sam Smith's Slim Look Has Fans Concerned
U.K. pop-soul singer Sam Smith has shed a lot of weight since the start of his career. So much so that some fans are concerned about his appearance, as Page Six points out.
"OMG @samsmithworld you are too skinny!! Stay healthy!!! pls!" one Smith Instagram follower wrote on one of the singer's Instagram pics.
In the pic, Smith, 23, sports a new buzz cut and a much slimmer frame. He titled the image "California Daze."
Another fan wrote, "HOW DIFFERENT DOES HE LOOK whaaat."
But not everyone is freaked out over the "Latch" singer's weight loss: "You look great. Don't listen to anyone who says you need to be thicker or thinner. You're perfect when you're happy," an Instagram user commented, according to Page Six.
Smith has been working on losing weight for some time. Back in March it was reported the Grammy Award winner bragged about losing 14 pounds in two weeks. Taking to Instagram and posting a gym selfie, Smith showed off the start of his slender figure. "Gym is kicking my ass today," he wrote. He also posted another selfie, showing him holding a book called "Eat. Nourish. Grow," and told his followers at the time that he's working on changing his food habits and exercising more thanks to nutritional therapist Amelia Freer and her book.
"Three weeks ago I met a woman who has completely changed my life. Amelia Freer has helped me lose over a stone in 2 weeks and has completely transformed my relationship with food," he wrote. "Everyone go check out her incredible book, and start to live healthy. It's not even about weight loss it's about feeling happy in yourself. Love you Amelia & thank you for making me feel so happy inside and out."
Not long before posting the slimmer selfies, Smith opened up about being the victim of an anti-gay attack when he first moved to London. He also commented on the gay community and his issues with his own body image.
"There's also a lot of body dysmorphia in the gay community, which means if you're not toned and skinny it can be awful," he said last year.
