Malik Bentalha “from 122 to 70 kilos”, he explains his impressive weight loss

Malik Bentalha never ceases to surprise. After recently announcing that he would never again do projects with the Canal + group directed by Vincent Bolloré – a political position which was widely praised on the Web – it is this time with regard to his drastic weight loss that he impresses.

For some time now, the comedian has displayed a transformed figure, and his fans have not failed to notice it. From 122 to 70 kilosan impressive metamorphosis that he built with the sweat of his brow… and with watermelon, as he likes to say. He confided in the columns of Parisian.

“Either I locked myself away or I got up”

It was in April 2023 that Malik took a decisive turn. After several years marked by professional complications and notably depression, he felt the need to change completely.

Today, with social networks, the advent of Instagram, we are forbidden from going bad. I locked myself away at every level,I stayed at home looking at the cell phone, eating, I let myself sink, I gained weight.

So Cyril Hanouna's ex-acolyte decides to take control of himself. Like his colleague, Éric-Antoine, he began a weight loss program.

Either I locked myself in my den, or I decided to get up to come back stronger (…) I started my first sports session. After 10 minutes at 5 km/h, I hurt everywhere. But I continued step by step

For Malik, this realization marked the start of a new routine, made of sport, a balanced diet and, above all, a desire to feel good about yourself.

His secret? Sport, salads and… kilos of watermelon!

Contrary to certain rumors, Malik Bentalha insists: he did not resort to an operation for this transformation.

I exercise every morning, and I ate watermelon, lots of watermelon (laughs)! My drug has always been sugar. I started with salads.

Beyond this physical discipline, it also seems having found mental balance. His return to the stage, after four years of absence, can be seen as a symbol of this rebirth. He had also mentioned this dark period on the set of Daily :

I went through difficult times. There were ups and downs. It is important for me to raise awareness among young people about these diseases.

Today, he is ready to get back on stage, but also to share his experience to inspire others.
