English singer-songwriter Sam Smith is opening up about their longtime battle with the bulge.
The Grammy and Oscar winner, who uses they/them pronouns, revealed they went under the knife as a teenager during early struggles with their weight.

“I had surgery on my chest when I was 13 years old because I had a growing chest,” they told host Penn Badgley. “There was all sorts of reasons why, but mainly that I was just getting so teased.
