Dominique van Malder underwent stomach reduction and also did a program on the topic: “What if I suddenly have a ‘normal’ body?” | showbiz

When Dominique van Malder hit the red carpet of the Gent Film Festival in October, the actor and presenter looked a lot lighter. The TV maker didn’t want to be interviewed about losing weight, and now it’s clear why. “Dumbe,” as Gaga’s Radio mate Joris Hessels is dubbed, underwent a stomach reduction a while ago, and everyone can catch up on the process next year in Play4’s “Patient Dombey” documentary series. In this way he continues his collaboration with the channel, having previously presented programs such as Viervoeters and De bachelorette.

Van Malder has had a hard time with his weight, and it has already shown in interviews. “I will never forget that I was in the Easter play in primary school,” he told Radio 1 of his role in the Albatross series about obese people. “There I was, with my plump little body, in an apron like Jesus. At that moment, my teacher liked nothing more than to squeeze my breasts and call me ‘Fat Jesus.’”

A story of doubts, fears, and questions like, “Can I still enjoy good food if my stomach is the size of a chicken egg?” and “Would I be a good actor if I suddenly had a ‘normal’ body?” “.
