He is an original and a living legend: Ottfried Fischer! Now there is new, good news from the popular Bavarian cabaret artist and voice actor: He has lost a lot of weight! The heavyweight weighs 80 kilos less. And, as he claims to tz, he feels more stable and healthier than ever!
From trademark to ballast
For decades, his weight was his trademark. Nobody would have expected that “the pound guy” would take this giant step. But the combination of serious illness, great love and the so-called “weight loss injection” caused the 200-kilo man to melt.
In 2008, the popular Bavarian made his illness public and gradually left the public eye. Although he carries out his task with humor and works hard to ensure that he remains physically fit for as long as possible, he is still dependent on a wheelchair and has difficulty speaking.
Simone Fischer supports her husband with great care
It’s good that his wife Simone is at his side: the two officially married in Passau in 2020, but they had already been a couple for 13 years at that point. During this long time, the two of them stand out for one thing in particular: the loving and self-sacrificing way in which Simone looks after her husband and supports him! He thanks her through public appreciation!
And now also because of the rapid weight loss! Fischer now only weighs around 120 kilos and has to have the syringes inserted less often than before. The entire campaign is of course carried out in consultation with his doctors, who are quoted as saying that the injections could have an additional effect: namely on the course of the serious illness. Parkinson’s. This means that the seventy-two-year-old and his wife can hope that they will have more time together in their home in Gauting!
Other celebrities also suffer from Parkinson’s. Famous examples are Michael J. Fox and Frank Elstner.
