Tyler James Williams opened up about the health struggles he dealt with before being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in his early 20s.During an interview with Men’s Health, which was published earlier this month, the Abbott Elementary star, 30, recalled his attempts to build up muscle at the gym.
Williams noted that he overdid it by hiring trainers, doing weight-training and force-feeding himself.After ending up with horrible stomach pain, the actor wasn’t able to keep any food in his system. “I was really pushing my body to the limit,” he explained, adding that he weighed 130 pounds at the time. “By the time December hit, it just crashed.
