At 84, Miriam Margolyes—beloved for her role as Professor Sprout in the 'Harry Potter' films—has become candid about her declining physical health.
In an interview with Weekend Magazine, she admitted to not prioritising fitness earlier in life, attributing her current reliance on mobility aids such as a walker and mobility scooter to conditions like osteoporosis and spinal stenosis.
She firmly criticised the trendy use of weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, stating they should be reserved for people with medical necessities like diabetics.
