The star had nine weeks to transform his appearance, and while he normally consumes 2 000 calories per day, his daily calorie intake for the last two weeks totaled 1 200, the report says.
His body, on the other hand, has been changing at a rapid pace, leading 7de Laners to speculate that he may have begun using Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs), says the report.
However, the star has urged people to give him a benefit of the doubt.
