Wayne Rooney addresses weight loss and physical transformation

Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has addressed public speculation regarding his recent physical transformation. During appearances promoting the new documentary ‘The Real Rooneys’, Rooney denied rumors that his weight loss was achieved through weight-loss injections.

Rooney attributed his change in appearance to improved eating habits, regular training, and a decision to stop drinking for a period to prioritize his health and family. He noted that after retiring from professional football, he had fallen into a rut but sought to be more present for his children and wife, Coleen.

In addition to weight loss, Rooney revealed he underwent a nasal procedure to resolve long-standing respiratory issues and snoring. Professionally, the former footballer is transitioning into media roles, including work as a pundit for the BBC.
