Elliot Mintz Details Lennon Ono Weight Obsession

Elliot Mintz, a close friend of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, reveals in his upcoming memoir 'We All Shine On: John Yoko & Me' that the couple was deeply concerned with their weight, maintaining a daily journal of their weights and organizing their extensive wardrobe by waist size. Mintz recounts how Lennon once called him at 4 a.m. requesting diet pills, reflecting their belief that Hollywood's slim figures were attainable through 'magic' solutions. The couple's refrigerator was filled with strange health foods, often unrecognizable, and they seemed to prioritize image over nutrition, with little protein in their diet. Mintz describes their closet as resembling a Manhattan boutique, complete with a ladder for accessing clothes stored at higher levels. His insights paint a picture of a couple preoccupied with body image, despite their public personas. The memoir is set to be released on October 22, 2024.
