According to Hot 1009, the “Black-ish” star reveals how receiving the diagnosis completely shifted his relationship with his well-being and daily routine. “I’ve been living with type 2 diabetes for years, and it’s something I have to be mindful of every single day,” he said.
The actor also discusses how the condition became an urgent signal to take better care of himself, particularly while juggling the pressures of exhausting production schedules.
Anderson turns the conversation toward his early years growing up in a rough neighborhood. He speaks with raw honesty about the lure of quick cash and how selling drugs was common for many people in the community. Instead of going down that road, he chose to step away.
