The actor said that "I lost 30 lbs." He also shared that he had "never realized that there were so many traumas in my childhood which I needed to work out in therapy."

Jordan Fisher speaks out for the first ever time about his struggle with an eating disorders.

The 28-year old actor, who appeared on "The Drew Barrymore Show", revealed that he had been diagnosed with an eating problem during the pregnancy of his wife Ellie Fisher.

Jordan said to Drew: "It's important to note -- for the sake this conversation-- that we were four or five months pregnant. I had always wanted to become a father, and knew that I was on my way to achieving that goal. We took on the biggest project of our lives with my partner and my best friend." "And I was finally diagnosed with an eating problem that I didn't know I had."

He continued: "I didn't know that all these childhood traumas were affecting my ability to eat. I just knew I had reflux."

The star of "Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", added: "My last two months of my contract was very, very hard for me physically." I lost 30 pounds."

Jordan, whose son Riley is now 10 months, said that he was grateful to be in the position he is at now and noted that he has "become so much stronger".

Drew told him, "I have never spoken about this before on such a large platform." "And I'm glad I survived that desert, because we are here now, talking to you. I am so much stronger."

The "Dancing with the Stars'" champion told a sweet story of how he met his wife Ellie as a child and how they developed chemistry.

Jordan remembered, "We were 9 and 13." We're in a Birmingham, Alabama dance studio. We met there as kids and grew up singing, dancing and doing the thing.

Imagine that Ellie went to Broadway to watch Jordan perform "Hamilton".

"We got dinner," Jordan said. Jordan said, "And then dinner again." Then we had lunch. We decided to only have lunch and dinner with each other. "That was it."

Jordan and Ellie announced that they were engaged in 2019. The couple married at Walt Disney World in November 2020. Jordan and Ellie announced their pregnancy a little more than a year after they got married. In June 2022 the couple welcomed Riley, and announced the news on Instagram.

Jordan talked about his family and how important they are to him during his interview with Drew.

He said, "That's what I think sets my joy and happiness apart, because it's like something that is innate, and lives within me." "I can easily block out noise when I am with my family, my child and my wife."
