Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter sparks concern over his VERY thin figure in new selfie

Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter sparked concern from fans over how thin he looked in a selfie he posted Wednesday.

The 45-year-old boybander – who boasts 6.9M social media followers – captioned the sunny snap: ‘Soaking up some Vegas heat before today’s rehearsals.’

Nick soon ignited speculation among his fans that he was taking Ozempic.

One look at the comments of Carter’s latest Instagram post reveals just how many of his fans believe he’s on weight loss drugs.

Instagram user @the_schuermanns posted a crying emoji and wrote: ‘Maybe he took some Ozempic.’

‘He looks very unhealthy,’ Instagram user @michaelhilt0n commented. ‘Hope he is okay!’

Instagram user @andreia.sewa posted a sad emoji and wrote: ‘Sorry to say, but you look a bit too thin to me! I hope you’re okay, @nickcarter! Love you so much!’

‘Hey Nick, you look great as always, but please don’t overdo it with your fitness or whatever you do to look like that,’ Instagram user @kaosnickgirl44 wrote. ‘We still need you, okay?’

Instagram user @hfreeman722 commented: ‘Need to gain some weight back.’

The eight-time Grammy nominee – who once topped the scales at 240lbs – appears to maintain his slimmer 6ft1in frame with dance rehearsals, swinging a baseball bat, and occasionally golfing.

Nick hasn’t shared a gym snap since March 2024 after previously posting about losing weight and eating healthier as far back as 2021 when he wrote: ‘Just gotta get rid of this belly that I’ve had since I was a teenager.’

In 2022, Carter revealed he was ’20 pounds down [with] 10 more to go’ off his ‘dad bod.’

‘I’m nowhere near where I would like to be,’ the Dirty Laundry singer wrote at the time.

Comparing pictures of Nick (born Nickolas) from 2022 to now seem to suggest he’s taking a trendy GLP-1 agonist drug

Indeed, Nick and his older bandmates – AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell – officially kick off their 21-date residency, Into the Millennium Sphere in Las Vegas, on July 11.

And back in 2009, Carter revealed he shed 65lbs when he got sober after being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy following a decade of abusing drugs and alcohol.

The homeschooled Gen-Xer is currently facing his fourth sexual assault lawsuit, this time from Laura Penly, who alleged he raped her and infected with HPV in 2004 – leading to her being diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer.

‘This is just more of the same nonsense from the gang of conspirators and their lawyers who continue to abuse the justice system to try to ruin Nick Carter,’ Nick’s attorneys Liane K. Wakayama and Dale Hayes Jr. told TMZ last April.

‘It’s drawn from the same predictable playbook – lie in wait for decades until Mr. Carter is celebrating a professional milestone, then hide behind litigation privilege to make utterly false claims in an attempt to inflict maximum damage on Nick and his family.’

On the personal front, Carter has three children – son Odin, 9; daughter Saoirse, 5; and daughter Pearl, 4 – from his 11-year marriage to Crypto Café founder Lauren Kitt Carter.

The Carters: Hurts to Love You star suffered the loss of his troubled younger brother Aaron who died, age 34, in 2022 from accidental drowning after inhaling difluoroethane and taking alprazolam (Xanax).
