Tyler James Williams’ Rough Road To His Rock-Hard Body
Last year, Williams revealed to Men’s Health that his hard body was hard-fought after years of struggling with Crohn’s disease.

He didn’t get diagnosed with the condition, which severely inflames the digestive system, until the age of 24. By that time, he was unable to eat and in so much pain that he needed emergency surgery to remove six inches of his intestines.
When Williams didn’t heal correctly from that procedure, he went into septic shock and nearly died. While recovering, he couldn’t eat normally and required nutrients through IV for months. During that time, he dropped from 130 lbs down to a dangerously low 105 lbs and “was too weak to stand.”
Since then, he rebuilt himself and his health brick by brick. When the Dear White People star’s magazine cover dropped, he dedicated it to everyone with similar struggles. We love to see it… and his ripped results!
“This one is for the Crohns Patients, the “hard gainers”, the skinny kids, and those thriving while fighting invisible illnesses. May we all continue to learn how to listen our bodies and treat them better. Thank you to @menshealthmag for the feature and chronicling my journey thus far,” he wrote.
Hit the flip for more.
Tyler James Williams Sparks ARM-ageddon Of Thirst
The Everybody Hates Chris alum stole the show on the Emmys red carpet. Fans wondered how he hid all that under his schoolhouse dress shirts on his hit comedy.
Even in person, one comment joked that Williams “had Robin Roberts stammering” during their red-carpet interview. And can we blame her?
Another asked if the unscheduled gun show was his bid for acting in a Marvel movie.
