to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nOn the show, Iglesias, who recalled weighing about 440 lbs. at his heaviest, explained that he wants to re-commit to his weight-loss journey. \u201cI really want to lose weight,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a serious thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharpe then asked Iglesias if he would be worried about the reaction from his fanbase if he were to lose a lot of weight, considering his nickname is \u201cFluffy.\u201d The comedian shared a past conversation he had with radio host Big Boy about his weight-loss journey that put a lot into perspective for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said, \u2018Hey man, how did things change for you once you lost all that weight? You weren\u2019t Big Boy anymore.\u2019 He goes, \u2018No, I wasn\u2019t Big Boy anymore, but I was alive.\u2019 And that\u2019s the most important thing,\u201d Iglesias recalled.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, if I lose 100 or whatever the amount of weight is, yeah, I might not be Fluffy, but man I\u2019m gonna be alive,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd I think my fans and people would rather see me alive and able to function and do what I do rather than be the big guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
