The Health Overhaul: From “Death Warmed Over” to Rejuvenation
Between 2023 and 2024, tabloids were flooded with “deathbed” rumors about Harmon, fueled by photos of him looking frail and gray. One source famously described him as looking like “death warmed over.” However, in early 2026, the truth emerged: it wasn’t a secret illness, but extreme burnout and physical neglect. After 20 years of 14-hour days, Harmon had reportedly stopped exercising and was living on “set food” (junk food and coffee)
When he retired, he went through a “physical collapse” where his body finally demanded rest. He has since undergone a radical lifestyle overhaul, working with a physical therapist to fix old football injuries from his UCLA days and adopting a strict “longevity diet.” Recent 2026 sightings show him with regained muscle mass and a “sharp, alert” look, debunking the cancer and dementia rumors that plagued him for years.
