Ryan Seacrest doesn’t care about what people are saying about his new look. The TV host has undergone what many have described as a dramatic transformation and now appears noticeably slimmer.
Despite some criticism of his appearance, Seacrest reportedly “thinks he looks great” and is “proud” of his new body.
Ryan Seacrest is also said to be “extremely focused” on maintaining his new look, which reports claim that he worked hard for.
Amid ongoing commentary surrounding Ryan Seacrest’s body transformation and “new face,” sources have revealed why the TV host became so committed to changing his appearance.
“Ryan grew up as a chubby kid, and those insecurities never fully left him,” one insider revealed to Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice “Substack. “He was teased when he was younger, and even now, he still sees that overweight kid in the mirror.”
The revelation comes as no shock, as Seacrest has previously spoken about struggling with his weight as a child and, in recent years, making a conscious effort to turn that part of his life around.
While the transformation may have caught some people off guard, an insider claims it “didn’t just happen overnight.”
Instead, the change is reportedly the result of Seacrest improving his diet and becoming more committed to his workout routine without slacking off.
“Ryan has worked incredibly hard to look like this. The workouts, the diet, the fasting — he is extremely focused,” added the insider.

“Ryan thinks he looks great,” said the source. “He feels healthier, more confident, and more in control than ever before. He truly could not be happier.”
Even more, Seacrest feels he has worked extremely hard to reach this point and intends to continue showing off the results as much as he can.
“For Ryan, this is personal,” another source says. “He worked hard for this body and this look — and he’s proud of it.”

Ryan Seacrest Recently Revealed He Takes Potential Partners Out For A ‘Little Exercise’
Seacrest’s love for fitness even extends to how he goes about picking a partner.
“I take everybody out for a little exercise. It’s a test,” Seacrest said last month during an episode of his “On Air With Ryan Seacrest,” per Page Six.
At the time, he also listed other dating red flags, including having a loud alarm that just “ruins your day from the beginning.”
“It’s got to be a chimey thing. Like a pleasant, not a hardcore alarm. Chimes. Green flag,” Seacrest added.
He also would only prefer a partner who “can get ready in less than 27 minutes” whenever they have outing plans.
“Cause not 30. It’s not 25. 27. Green flag. If you’re over an hour, and I have been there over an hour. What are you doing?” he said.
