Wilber Pan Criticized for 'Sudden Weight Gain and Facial Paralysis'; Shares Photo to Show Recovery: Faced Facial Nerve Disorder at the Time

45-year-old singer Wilber Pan recently appeared on the Chinese variety show The Great Chef Battle. However, in front of the camera, his face appeared noticeably fuller with puffy cheeks, and the lines on his face seemed quite stiff when he spoke. This led to a wave of online speculation, with many netizens questioning that he had 'gained a lot of weight' and even sparking rumors about facial paralysis. In response, Wilber Pan chose not to remain silent but instead generously posted his latest selfie showing significant reduction in swelling, personally revealing the bitter truth behind his 'puffy face.' He admitted that while filming the show, he was suffering from 'facial nerve disorder' and that his body became bloated due to taking large amounts of steroids for treatment.

Facing intense discussion online, Wilber Pan candidly clarified his physical condition at the time, stating: 'The filming happened when I was experiencing facial paralysis, and I had to take a lot of steroids for treatment. That’s why I put on so much weight.' Compared to his stiff demeanor in the show where he wore a dark blue traditional Chinese jacket, his latest selfie in a stylish black top shows that his sharp jawline has clearly returned. He looks much less swollen and appears energetic. He humorously joked that he probably 'looked like that in all the previous episodes,' but also reassured everyone that his health has now fully recovered.
