Pierre-François Legendre Denies Using Ozempic to Explain His Weight Loss

Pierre-François Legendre has directly addressed speculation about his noticeable weight loss, saying he has never used Ozempic. The actor discussed the rumours during an appearance on the podcast Tout le monde s’haït, a show where guests talk about insecurities, personal complexes and their relationship with their appearance. Legendre said that people had been asking whether the medication was behind his physical transformation. In response, he made his position clear: “I haven’t used Ozempic.” He added that he had never considered taking it, explaining that one of its effects would be to reduce appetite, while he enjoys eating. His comments came amid growing public discussion about Ozempic, a medication developed to treat type 2 diabetes that is also associated with weight loss. As the drug has become more widely discussed, speculation about whether public figures have used it has followed. Legendre said he was aware that some people had assumed it was responsible for his changed appearance, but insisted those assumptions were wrong. The actor also reflected on the idea that using medication to lose weight might be viewed as taking a shortcut. He raised the notion of “cheating” as part of the conversation, according to the account of the podcast appearance. The available report ends while he is expanding on that point, so it does not provide his full explanation. Rather than leave the question unanswered, Legendre used the interview to respond plainly to the rumours surrounding his appearance. He said Ozempic played no part in his weight loss and offered his enjoyment of food as one reason the option never appealed to him.
