The 1993 NBA MVP Charles Barkley has been known for his eating habits throughout his NBA career. Earlier this year, he was called out by a Michelin Star chef for his unusual eating antics. In a podcast with the star, Jose Andres was ?disappointed? after learning how the Basketball Hall of Famer consumes his steak.
He said, ?When I learned that you eat your stake like rubber, I felt so disappointed, man…?It gave his life, her life, for you to eat it, to chop it up before you even start. I mean, some respect here, Charles.??

However, Barkley has made the headlines again with his ?unusual? steak choice. The 11x all-star was seen enjoying his steak at his usual eatery, Chubby?s Steaks.?
The restaurant chain posted a picture of him on their Instagram page. The fans could not believe the Philadelphia 76ers legend’s transformation. Barkley, who had hip surgery late in 2022, had gained tremendous weight. But the recent picture at the steakhouse shows a different Chuck.
Fans are in disbelief about Charles
Chuck has been vocal about putting in work to get back in shape with his rigorous workout regime and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Many of Chuck’s admirers are in disbelief since the snapshot shows how the work paid off. Wonder how his best buddy, Shaquille O?Neal, will react.
One of the fans of the 60-year-old NBA analyst is baffled by the transformation. “That is NOT Charles Barkley.”? And he’s not the only one. “He looks great! Dropped a lot of weight. Didn?t recognize him at first,”?said another comment.

A supporter who hasn’t seen Charles Barkley in good shape since his college days remarked on this.
“That ain?t no damn Barkley. I saw him in May 2023. He ain?t been that small since high school if even then. But my man playing the part. Play on Playa.”
Some people criticized Barkley’s decision to forego a well-known restaurant though, “Why? Delasando’s is across the street.” And another fan agreed, “Damn so close, just across the street.”
