THE world’s former fattest man has revealed he is still bedridden and may never walk again.
Paul Mason weighed 70 stone – 444.5kg – at his peak and was the heaviest recorded person from the UK.
The former postie’s battle with his weight hit breaking point after the coronavirus lockdown when he took an overdose during a bout of depression.
But he has defied predictions he wouldn’t live past the age of 40 and is set to turn 64 this year.
Paul, from Ipswich, Suffolk, currently weighs 36 stone and is bedridden, but insisted he would never become the world’s heaviest person again.
“A doctor once told me I would be lucky to make 40 and now here I am, nearly a pensioner,” he told The Mirror.
“I may not walk again now but I am at one with that. I just want to use my time to help others and make sure they don’t make the same mistakes I did.”
