Desmond Harrington weight loss
It was noticed on season 5 of Dexter that he was getting skinny. You can be sure people jumped into conclusion. I am sure most searches were something like, Why is Desmond Harrington skinny? Is Desmond Harrison sick? Is Desmond Harrison doing drugs? Rumours where flying up and about. Some were saying he had undergone plastic surgery, and others said he was on drugs while others said he was sick.
He had to come out and stop the rumours. This was his response,
“I didn’t have any plastic surgery. I’m not sick, it’s called running and eating better! You understand? I’m in my 30s now. All these ridiculous stuff that I read “He’s sick, he’s on drugs”, get a life! I just changed how I ate and began to run.”
