Corrie actor Colson Smith's new show about his love of running is called Bored of Being the Fat Kid.
He says he has been supported during his time on Coronation Street by others in the cast and by ITV staff.He's sharing his journey in a new documentary, Bored of Being The Fat Kid.He never expected to even share the footage.
Tabloid coverage of Colson's change in body shape made him feel like he was losing "control" of his own story."It's just the headlines and clickbait, but what's different about weight loss to everything else is it's visible - so people can see it." But despite making his journey public, on social media and his documentary, Colson doesn't want anyone to think of him as a fitness influencer."I see myself as a fat kid who has tried to change their life and has found that if you do it for yourself, when you put yourself first and find something you enjoy - like I have with running - it's a darn sight easier for yourself.
