Nick Cordero has lost 65 pounds due to his coronavirus battle, his wife says
Amanda Kloots says husband Nick Cordero has lost 65 pounds since he entered the hospital. The 41-year-old Broadway star (“Waitress,” “A Bronx Tale” and “Rock of Ages”) was hospitalized March 30 and later diagnosed with COVID-19, after multiple false negative tests. Kloots has described his treatment as a “roller coaster” during which Cordero, who’s still in the ICU, has had several surgeries, his leg amputated and countless setbacks. The actor and dancer is still weak, unable to speak and his muscles have atrophied, leading to his drastic weight drop. She says the “best-case scenario” would see Cordero in the hospital for “months” more — and then at least one year in a rehab facility.
