Celebrity host Billy Crawford has expressed his willingness to undergo a drug test to prove that his weight loss is not due to illegal drugs.
The former It’s Showtime host firmly denied any involvement with drugs and explained that his current appearance and weight loss are not related to substance abuse.
In his interview on GMA Network news program 24 Oras, Billy stated, “It’s like a circle sa buhay ko. It’s a non-stop conversation is my ‘nutrition’ or my diet. I’m not on a diet.”
He added that comments about his appearance used to affect him but no longer bother him now, saying, “It used to faze me. It used to get me. It used to may kurot ng konti. Pero now, it really doesn’t anymore. Nakakatawa na lang.”
Billy emphasized that he does not use drugs and is willing to undergo a drug test anytime to prove it.
“Sa mga nakakakilala sa akin, I am by far one of the few artists who are the ones who don’t try drugs,” he stressed.
He even challenged others to do the same, saying, “We can all take a strand of our hair and do tests ngayon din. Puwede kong hamunin lahat ng tao dito ngayon. No problem. I have nothing to hide.”
The celebrity dad reiterated his sobriety and commitment to his family and work, saying, “Hindi po ako adik. Adik ako sa pamilya ko. Adik ako sa trabaho ko, and that’s it. I’m living, I think, my life to the fullest right now.”
Billy also shared that he has not consumed alcohol or smoked for five years, attributing his change to divine help.
“With God’s help and God’s grace, I did it. So I think everyone is allowed and able to change. You can change,” Crawford attributed his health’s improvement to his faith.
It can be recalled that his wife, Coleen Garcia previously addressed the speculations, denying any health problems and explaining that Billy’s busy work schedule and performances abroad contribute to his weight loss.
“We’ve addressed it so many times, to the point na nakakapikon for him kasi how do you change the way you look ‘di ba? Whatever he looks like right now, it’s not an unhealthy thing,” Coleen stated in a past interview.
She mentioned that Billy performs at music festivals almost daily while in France, leading to his slim physique.
“Hindi lang nakakaabot dito, hindi kasi siya masyado nagse-share sa social media. Pero he performs talaga almost every day that he’s there in France. Talagang papayat siya,” Garcia affirmed.
