In 2003 CT was hospitalized for 4 weeks because of a ruptured appendix, a very serious illness, fatal if not treated on time.
(ruptured appendix causes peritonitis and blood poisoning)
He lost 45 pounds and surgeons had to take out 3 feet of his intestines among other things in order to save his life. That's the real reason behind his gaunt look in all his movies between 2003 and 2005.
As of today
Tommy has fully recovered.
He’s currently working out with a trainer and he has already gained 12 pounds of
muscles and his face has filled back.
He’s also following a strict protein and carb diet.
