Mike & Molly alum Billy Gardell made major life changes after a health scare in 2020. "Every year, I'd say I'd start on Monday. Or the first of the month. Or New Year's Eve. That was always my routine," Gardell, 56, told People in an interview published on Tuesday, December 9. The actor said he dropped and gained dozens of pounds at a time for years. However, things changed in 2020 when he developed type 2 diabetes. At the time, he weighed around 370 to 380 lbs. The real eye-opener for Gardell was the COVID-19 pandemic.
