‘Perfect Strangers’ star Bronson Pinchot reveals the heartbreaking catalyst for his wellness journey
Two years ago, Bronson Pinchot had a moment of clarity while trying to help his 94-year-old mother get up after she had fallen to the floor.
“She still had all her marbles and then some,” he tells Page Six in an exclusive interview.
“But she was upstairs on the floor and I couldn’t get her up and she didn’t have any core strength to help me.”
The “Perfect Strangers” alum, 65, says that the upsetting incident made him realize that he never wanted to be in that position when he gets older, so he started working out and building his core.
But this isn’t the first time the actor has been on a wellness journey.
In March 2021, the “Risky Business” star told Page Six exclusively that he had lost a staggering 60 pounds toward the end of 2020 after he saw a photo of himself from the 2017 reboot of “Battle of the Network Stars” and was horrified.

Good for him but I wondered if he gets mistaken for Alan Ruck everywhere he goes now.
Also, very obviously ND based on that video. They don't look at anything when they talk.

I'm not R2, but I assume that's a lazy asshole's way of writing Neurodivergent.
Because, you know, it's just SO TIRESOME to type out fourteen more letters.

Can’t believe he’s only 65.

He was 36 when he did Perfect Strangers, there's no way he's 65.

It's as though he blamed his 30+ year older mother for not having enough muscles at 94 to help because *he* was overweight and didn't have the strength, core or otherwise, to lift her. How many 94 year olds weigh more than 100 lbs and pack an impressive set of muscles to rebound from a fall?
Projecting asshole.

He's turned into a musclebound Targaryen.

Didn't he also become a musclehead for a while after "Perfect Strangers" ended?

He's always seemed mentally unstable.

He needs a club and an underbite to complete that look.

He looks like an older version of Ryan Gosling.

I love the description of how his poor mom’s on-the-floor injury resulted in his reacting by focusing on what he needed to do to about HIM.

My mom is 87 yrs old - most of her marbles are already gone. She has terrible arthritis in her legs. She is down to 94 lbs and light as a feather. BUT I don’t know how she does it - somehow sometimes she will go totally dead weight and I swear she is like moving a refrigerator.

He looks like an AI morph of Sylvester Stallone and Ryan Reynolds.

R14, none. That’s why he’s getting fit now. If you find yourself at 80 with low muscle mass, or even worse overweight as well, you will never gain any. If you enter your 80s in good shape with high muscle mass you can keep much of it just by staying active and eating well.

Does he think if he does this he's not going to die? He's still going to die.

R25, then why screen for breast or prostate cancer? You’re going to die anyway, why draw things out?

The current picture needs better lighting. He probably looks better not coming out of a sensory deprivation chamber.
