GUY Fieri has revealed his slimmed-down appearance after weight loss during an outing in Paris with rapper Flavor Flav.
On Saturday, the Food Network star and Public Enemy rapper were seen supporting the United States Women’s Water Polo team at the 2024 Olympic Games.
Squad member Kaleigh Gilchrist, 32, posted a photo of Guy, 56, and Flavor Flav, who helped sponsor the team, cheering from the stands on her Instagram Stories.
She cleverly captioned the snap, “Flavor Town x Flavor Flav.”
The Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives host flaunted his thinner frame in a form-fitting black T-shirt while sporting his signature bleached, spiked hair and numerous blinged-out necklaces around this neck.
He had an arm draped around Flavor Flav, whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr., who rocked the U.S. national team colors while attending the Olympic event.
The Fight the Power rapper, 65, also sported his signature, giant-clock necklace, pair of stylish sunglasses, and a U.S.A. flat bill as he enthusiastically celebrated each team goal.
The Instagram account On Her Turf posted a highlight from the game on Instagram with the caption, “The U.S. women’s water polo is up vs. France and Flavor Flav and Guy Fieri are LOVING IT!”
Flavor Flav was shown jumping around and dancing in the crowd as Guy clapped beside him.
In the post’s comment section, one person wrote, “I love that Flavor Flav sponsors the women’s water polo team.”
“The mascot that we didn’t ask for but that we didn’t know we needed,” commented another.
“That man is in his 60s and has more energy than anyone in the stands!” added a third.
A fourth fan wrote, “Flavor Flav is AWESOME and has done such a great job of showing the world how dang fun water polo is!!!”
One person commented that Guy and Flavor Flav “need a cooking/dating show together” called “Flavor Town of Love.”
“Flavor Flav AND the mayor of Flavortown. Damn,” added another.
YES, CHEF!
Recently, Guy stunned fans with his major weight loss in a photo with his fellow chef, Gordon Ramsay, 57.
Gordon shared a photo of himself and Guy at one of Gordon’s Hell’s Kitchen restaurants on Instagram.
The duo switched personas for the shot, with Masterchef star Gordon channeling Guy in sunglasses and a chain necklace.
In contrast, Food Network personality Guy ditched his jewelry and crossed his arms in Gordon’s normal pose.
“It’s Freaky Friday at @hellskitchen!!!” Gordon captioned the post, referring to the body-swapping hit film.
“My guy Guy looking SLIM!” a fan wrote in the comment section.
“I’m pretty certain Guys being on a weight loss journey for the past few years doing HIIT workouts and fasting and whatnot,” a second social media user shared.
“I’m getting a little freaked out at the svelte @guyfieri!! Congrats on the fitness kick brother!” a third fan praised.
“Guy looks incredible,” another agreed.
In a different post, Guy opened up about how fitness and exercise were key in his transformation.
“I think it’s challenging to stay healthy and fit as a person, regardless of being a chef,” he shared.
PRESSING PAUSE
While fans have praised Guy’s weight loss, his television work has been slammed by discerning viewers who, upon watching Guy’s Grocery Games, thought they noticed a very unhygienic habit on the show.
Fans accused many contestants of tasting their food and then using the same spoon to stir with, and complained about the slip-ups on Reddit.
“Lately, I’ve noticed chefs tasting food and then tapping the rest back in the dish or putting the spoon back in,” one fan said, starting the conversation.
“Every time I see this it makes me unreasonably rage-y. Seeing it on TV when there is a whole staff of people who wash dishes and can keep things clean… gross,” another responded.
“Back on Food Network Star, they literally sent someone home one season for doing that on camera,” a third viewer recalled.
