Before joining the Air Force Reserve, Mathers tried to enlist as a US Marine. However, a famous football player had recently died in combat, and the Marines did want to risk any more publicity in the event that a similar fate befell the famous child actor. It sounds like the Marines were more concerned about their image rather than the fact that a citizen wanted to help the country.
Later in life, Mathers gained a considerable amount of weight and also found out he was a diabetic. That is not a great combination for any person. In the late 1990s, under doctor’s recommendation, he joined the Jenny Craig program, which helped him lose upwards of 40 lbs. He also went on to be the first-ever male spokesperson for Jenny Craig. Great selection by Jenny Craig on their first choice for male spokesperson.
If Mathers has continued to be as honest as he was back when he had the audition for the show, you can see why Jenny Craig selected him. It is also a great story to be behind if you are Jenny Craig. “Childhood star works hard in face of diabetes to reach goals.” That is an inspiring story even before you find out who the childhood star is. Kudos to The Beav for working hard against the odds.
