John Schneider's Big Secret
John Schneider was on Larry King Live on Friday, July 12 , 2002 where he revealed for the first time he was a overweight as a child. In fact he was overweight until just 2 years before Dukes of Hazzard. He revealed to Larry that his desire to be a successful actor led him to go on a protein diet and start a exercise program at a Nautilus fitness center. Interestingly enough he got the money to join one day while he was at a bowling alley. He found a crumpled up 100 dollar bill and went straight to the gym to join. The gym was running a special 3 year contract for you guessed it 100 dollars.
John explained to Larry that he was picked on as a child and was nicknamed "Gut". He weighed 245 pounds and had a 44 inch waist at age 16. He finally revealed his problem to Larry to encourage others to watch their diet and start an exercise program. He told Larry that never before has there been such a obesity problem as there is with today's children. John also mentioned Tom Welling who recently got married. Speaking about Tom and his new bride, John said, "God bless you both, I hope you have a wonderful future together."
