He really wasn't. I mean, most of us at the time were saying what bad shape he was in. Even when he played Meltdown and took his top off, some were laughing cause he was fat. Also just look at any YouTube video from the gigs from 48 onward he looks out of shapehe really was in great shape back then for a 49/50 year old. if he would've stayed away from the booze and continued working out (as he was clearly doing back then), he would likely look similar today.
I mean, compare him to Liam now or Brett or Damon Albarm at 50 or Brad Pit at 56 or Bruce Springsteen at 70 they looked younger than M did at 48 and onward and healthier. Im not being bitchy, You have to think about what he looked like from Smits to his late 30s . Then see how much he changed in his late 40s
Although, you may be right .At 49 to 50, I think he did start working out again. His face was very old and different to what it used to be but he did seem more toned Een in this picture though, the shadow is doing a lot of heavy lifting, hiding his belly, which he seems to be trying to hold in and you can see love handles still as plain as day
