He can eat protein such as turkey and chicken and carbohydrates, such as rice, but has stopped drinking orange juice.
“I can’t eat red meat, one thing I do miss, but there’s a lot I can eat - chicken, fish, turkey - and I’ve developed a liking for soya milk, especially if it’s flavoured,” The Daily Mail quoted him as telling told Saga magazine.
The 5ft 10in star weighs 10st 10oz and has a 30-inch waist, the same size as he did 30 years ago. (ANI)
