Speaking during a recent podcast, Sam Smith admitted in a bizarre manner how their weight was the one thing that he got teased about the most during their childhood.

At such a young age, at the Catholic High School in Hertfordshire, they made the bold decision to have liposuction on their chest when they were only 13.

“I had surgery done on my chest when I was just 13 years old, because I had a growing chest!”- Sam mentioned on Wednesday’s episode of Penn Badgley’s podcast.

They stated that there were all sorts of reasons behind this decision, and not everyone needs to get it. But the biggest reason had to do with how they had a growing chest so which made it so hard to take part in school activities like swimming. They used to change in the locker room, and that turned out to be a feeling of hell on some occasions.

Sam added how their parents were so supportive of this journey of transformation and doing what was best for the star. They knew how it was cripping them up inside and therefore showed the singer nothing but love, and today, Smith says they couldn’t be more grateful.
