1 minute read

Ryan Seacrest confessed some crippling childhood insecurities to Jimmy Kimmel Thursday night.

“I used to hate spring break…because you would have to go to the pool or the beach and I never wanted to take my shirt off,” Seacrest said.

The American Idol host revealed that he was overweight as a child, and worked hard to get to where he is now and overcome his body issues.

“I definitely think that remembering how I felt back then drives me to stay fit as an adult,” he added. “I treat my workouts as one of the most important meetings of the day.”
