Alex Rodriguez Lost 6.5 Pounds in 48 Hours to Attend Met Gala

Alex Rodriguez just revealed that he needed to lose 6.5 pounds in just two days to fit into his tuxedo for the 2019 Met Gala!

The 43-year-old former baseball player made a video for his YouTube channel that documented his prep for the gala, which he attended with fiancee Jennifer Lopez.

“I have this crazy pink tuxedo that Jennifer and Versace is making me wear, and I need to lose exactly 6.5 pounds. I’m taking two yoga classes and running the stairs for an hour. And I haven’t eaten in 24 hours,” he said in the video.

While being fitted for the big event, he started lifting weight and quipped, “I used to exercise for big games against the Red Sox, now I exercise to not look fat.”

Alex normally wears a size 48 tux, but he had to slim down to fit into a 44.
