wtf was wrong with brian may?

in the early 70's he was so skinny, was he just born skinny or was he anarexic or what im confused. me mom says he was that skinny because he was living on drugs which i doubt since he said on an interview he has NEVER taken drugs and never will, he says he thinks his head is messed up enough as it is without makeing it 1000 times worse, and he dosent smoke because his dad was addicted to it, im im glad he didnt take after his dad with smokeing, hes like me :P or im like him should i say.

anyway, why was he so skinny?

i know hepititus was probably one of them, but he was skinny before 1974 when he passed out on tour because of it (poor brian)

anyone know?

just curious, and worried

Brian did comment that he felt bad because of that. The thing's actually a bit simple: just like some people are prone to being fat no matter what they do, others are prone to being thin, and Brian's on the latter group. Reason... there could be tons of them: genetics, hormones, metabolism, apetite... whatever it was, he solved it for his senior age and now he's normal for a 60-YO bloke.

Genetics I expect - it's just the way some people are. I've never once thought that there was a sinister reason for it. Just Brian being Brian :)

thank you :)

its good to see he's better now and healthy, but him wanting to be vegan in very worrying :/ but he's a scientist, he'll let fact come over belief hopefuly and realise putting himself at risk is not helping animals, just making matters worse.

and i guess people can just find it "normal" and i dont believe in this "fat generation family" crap, where if youre parents are fat you will be fat to, my mom, my brother and my sister are fat, and im not, im always dieting, i only eat when i need to, and if itds mild hunger i have a drink instead, i dont comfort eat, as soon as i start to feel the slightest bit full i stop, im scared about being like them but im not stupid enough to starve myself, i hate that feeling when u dont eat and wanna throw up, so i do eat but i dont eat to the point i cant move, only when i need to which is how it should be.  but im not model skinny, im about averge size. which is good, i feel more comfortable around people now.

though i should be like freddie and not give a damn what people think about me, its hard :/

VERY hard when someone is pushing you to your limit and just asking for a black eye (i have never hit anyone by the way, i push hard because im a lady)

There was absolutely nothing wrong with him. He was never on any drugs and wasn't anorexic. He was just had a skinny body type when he was young, but he wasn't sick or anything. I'm the same way. I'm 6 feet and weigh 130 but I'm not anorexic or do any drugs. A lot of people are skinny throughout their teenage years and 20's, but then fill out later in life.

makes sence i guess because my sisters ex-boyfriend was so skinny! but he would eat so much and do no exersise at all, lucky git!

but he wasnt cute like Brian. Brian was born sexy

But Freddie was sexier! lol

Well you can believe it or not, it still is true. Genetics play a major part in the way your body is built. If your parents are fat doesn't mean you have to be fat aswell, but it means you (can) have the genes that are able to steer your body towards a fat storing one. Doesn't mean you have to be fat, but you say you're always dieting, which confirms that your body tends to store the fats you consume.

aye, thats why i try not to eat unless i need it, otherwise i just drink, i guess i got the same genes as my nan :P shes skinny

Still, if you're eating very little and are very conscious about it, maybe you are indeed prone to being fat, which is why you need to make such an extra effort to remain skinny. Had Brian in his 20's wanted to be fat (or at least average) or burly, he'd have to eat waaaaaaaaay more than a regular person.
