Jordan Fisher Finally Addresses His Struggles with Eating Disorder


Jordan Fisher recently talked about how hard it was for him to deal with an eating disorder.

Fisher said on The Drew Barrymore Show that he was told he had an eating disorder when his wife Ellie was pregnant with their son, who is now 10 months old.

Fisher said, “I think it’s important to mention we were four months pregnant, five months pregnant, always wanted to be a dad, knew that I was about to achieve that goal and take on the biggest and best project of my life with my partner and best friend.”

The Broadway star went on, “And I was diagnosed with an eating disorder that I did not know that I had. I just knew that I had reflux and like all of these things that were making it difficult for me to eat.”

Fisher said that he didn’t know that I had to go to therapy to deal with all of the bad things that happened to me as a child.

Fisher told Barrymore about the problems he was having at home and work during this time.

“My last couple of months of my contract were very difficult physical times for me,” the actor said.

Fisher said he had dropped 30 pounds. He never actually talked about this out loud on a stage like this.

“And man, I’m so glad that I made it through that desert because here we are now, talking to you. I am so much stronger,” he said.
