MacGyver’s Lucas Till was ‘suicidal’ due to ‘unacceptable’ behavior by fired showrunner Peter M. Lenkov

Regarding body shame, Till, in a note sent to the CBS Human Resources department last May, wrote: “There was always something about my appearance that would not please him, like when I was in a hospital gown…. [Lenkov] I said that my legs were “horrible” and that we can never show them again. Honestly, I also found some humor in that comment, but you can imagine if that was a more sensitive point that he had hit, and that he often did. Just like the moment you screamed [a director] ‘Oh my God the King! He pulls his shirt in, he looks like a ‘king’ boy … I’ve struggled to keep ‘men’s weight’ on the show because of stress, no time to exercise, and an unpredictable schedule for proper eating. “
