Gabriel Iglesias' health scare; ‘Fluffy’ leaves hospital assuring fans he's 'OK'


Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias gave his fans a real fright on Wednesday [Sept 5th] when he showed off his location. The comedian who is known for his over the top humor was in a hospital room hooked up to monitors and looking into the camera. At first glance it was obvious something was wrong, but the fans didn’t know what. Hoping to let everyone know the situation Fluffy posted a message for the fans.


“Just left the hospital..Had a little scare but I'm ok,” wrote Gabriel Iglesias on his official Facebook page. The comedian didn’t share what his ailment was and focused only on how he was doing after the scare, but the image definitely left an impression on the fans.

Fluffy is known for working the circuit and has to be one of the few comedians currently on the road to have worked in all fifty states. Sharing his gift to make the fans laugh in every state, it requires plenty of travel, long days and even longer nights with late shows.

While some of the fans responded that the man might need a vacation, everyone just hopes Fluffy gets well quick as there are plenty of cakes at his next gig waiting for him.

He's updated his Twitter with his plans to get healthier since then:

He also said on Twitter that he'll have to keep his diabetes in check.  He's such a nice guy, and I wish him the best with his health.

My roommate from last year loves him, she would marry him if she could. I hope gets better soon.

Seriously, I love Gabriel. It's nice to know he's getting healthy.

He's hilarious and it's good to him and anyone else, honestly, working to get healthy. It's hard and he seems to have a positive outlook on all of it, which is good for anyone else who is struggling to lose weight.

Also, I love that episode and your gif. :D

So is he doing Keto? I've been doing it since June, been going to the gym 6 days a week since May 2 and I've lost 30 pounds so far. Always wish it was more, but not bad. Good luck to him.

whats keto?
marinade 13th-Sep-2012 02:26 am (UTC)
Twenty grams of carbs or less per day, focusing on protein, fiber and fats to get your calories. At my gym, I overheard a personal trainer saying that people had to workout for an hour minimum because for the first 30 minutes, all they were doing was burning through the carbs they've eaten. Lots of info here on the sidebar.

He's hilarious, his accents are on point and, still being devastated by the loss of John Candy, I hope he takes care of himself and sticks around for a long time.

theres enough of him to make three painfully unfunny and annoying obese people.

Good to see he's trying to get healthy. Diabetes is no joke. My dad has it, I wish he would take getting healthy seriously.

Absolutely love him and I've often worried about his health. Same with John pinette!

John Pinette looks like he's not aged a day (well, almost, he still looks quite young!) since I first saw him on tv when I was 12. It was startling.

No more cake for Fluffy :(
scaredsquee 13th-Sep-2012 01:17 am (UTC)

His "but it was funny huh?" bit just kills me every time I hear it. He's hilarious. Glad he'll be okay.
tink_1326 13th-Sep-2012 01:14 am (UTC)
NOOOOOO FLUFFY! Stay healthy, I don't care what degree of fat you are as long as you're around to make me laugh!
juel1979 13th-Sep-2012 01:27 am (UTC)
Dude, this just scared the shit outta me. =X
pipsdixiechick 13th-Sep-2012 01:45 am (UTC)
Please be okay Fluffy!! I wish I could've gone to one of the Stand Up Revolution shows he taped for Comedy Central as they were done in the PHX area.

mandramoddle 13th-Sep-2012 01:50 am (UTC)
I was seeing some of the tweets to him and some of his fans are shits. They were giving him crap for making healthy lifestlye changes, saying he sold out. wtf
tinyboz 13th-Sep-2012 02:01 am (UTC)
I went to one of his shows. There were so many cakes/desserts that fans brought in for him.

He's hilarious, glad he's trying to be healthier.
palmthejoker 13th-Sep-2012 02:26 am (UTC)
I love him so much. My whole family loves him. My sister and I talk to our donuts like he does.
oceanships 13th-Sep-2012 03:28 am (UTC)
Hearing about him makes me want to watch one of his stand up specials. I hope he will get well soon!
vintage_boom 13th-Sep-2012 03:38 am (UTC)
I love him.
"We call it hay juice because if you drink the whole bottle, 'haaaaay'." or something like that. All I remember is lol'ing loud and hard in the theater..

Hope he gets well soon.

I'm glad hear he's doing well. Any time his special is on Comedy Central, I have to sit and watch even a little bit of it; he's hilarious.
