Has ‘going Paleo’ made Pete Evans look OLDER? Chef seems to have aged

Pete Evans has made headlines in recent months due to his endless conspiracy theories, stubborn stance against vaccinations and strict Paleo diet.

And it appears the celebrity chef’s bizarre behaviour has finally caught up with him, as he looked worn out in his latest Facebook video titled ‘Morning update’.

The former My Kitchen Rules judge – who was released from his $800,000-a-year contract with Channel Seven last month – looked much older than his 47 years as he spoke to fans about his plans to open a new clinic.

Pete seemed fatigued as spoke about his goals for the upcoming weeks – and his appearance was a far cry from his glowing promotional photos for the latest season of My Kitchen Rules, which were taken last year.

In the video, he encouraged viewers to ‘check out’ his new podcast with Jason Reynolds and enthused about ‘other docu-series’ coming soon.

The restaurateur also revealed he would be spending the day taking some pictures for his clinic, which opens soon, but failed to elaborate further on the new venture.

Pete, who has been married to model Nicola Watson since 2016, has raised more a few eyebrows thanks to his controversial conspiracy theories, rants and views on science and medicine.

On Monday, Pete waded into the Black Lives Matter movement as he called for protesters to tear down 5G towers following a series of unfounded rants about how high-speed internet spreads coronavirus.

He has previously suggested the technology is involved in the spread of the deadly virus – despite the federal government declaring 5G safe and scientists saying its radiation is incapable of penetrating human tissue.

But in a post on his Instagram Stories on Monday afternoon, the divisive chef shared a meme calling on those defacing historic statues as part of the Black Lives Matter movement to instead focus their energy on destroying 5G infrastructure.

‘Instead of tearing down old statues, if you could tear down those 5G towers that’d be great,’ the meme referencing a scene from the 1999 movie Office Space read. 

Last month, Pete was released from his contract at Seven following a spate of controversial and often dangerous statements – mostly relating to coronavirus conspiracy theories.

In April, he was also fined $25,200 by the Therapeutic Goods Administration for promoting a lamp he claimed could help treat COVID-19.  

Adding to his controversies, Pete, who has also shared misleading information about immunisation, has gone on to insist that he is not an ‘anti-vaxxer’ but ‘pro-choice’.

Vaccinations are a simple, safe and effective way of protecting people against harmful diseases before they come into contact with them, the Australian Government says.

The jabs protect individuals and others in the community, by reducing the spread of preventable diseases.

Meanwhile, Pete has been outspoken about his support of the Paleo diet, claiming it can even prevent autism.
