Ryan Seacrest Talked About His Work During A Recent Red Carpet Appearance
Seacrest is known for his work with a number of television series. This includes hosting American Idol since its start and taking over for Pat Sajak as host on Wheel of Fortune.
Recently, Seacrest attended the 9th Annual UCLA Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation’s Taste For A Cure gala. While at the Los Angeles event, he spoke with reporters on the red carpet.
During his appearance, Seacrest looked back at his history with American Idol. Looking back at how far the show has come, he shared one moment that still stands out to him was when he declared Kelly Clarkson the show’s inaugural winner.
However, fans were surprised by Seacrest’s appearance at the event and took to social media to speculate on what was going on. In particular, many felt his face looked thinner.
As previously reported, fans had grown concerned for Seacrest earlier this year after he appeared to be losing weight. At the time, a source reportedly close to Seacrest, speaking with Radar Online, shared, “His clothes just hang on his frame.”
