(AP Photo/Universal Orlando Resort, Matt Stroshane) Michael Douglas has dropped a lot of weight during his chemo treatment for throat cancer—he reportedly went from 175 pounds to 139—but a friend tells Radar that he's now on a determined eating campaign to gain it back. The accompanying story has a photo of Douglas on a motorized scooter at Disney World, with a quote from "an onlooker" saying "he looked frail and sick ... (and) most definitely looked like he needed the wheelchair." (Click here to see the photo.) In a more upbeat image released by Universal Orlando Resort, a smiling Douglas is pictured on a ride with his family. "He looks thin, it's true, but that is because the chemo eats everything in someone's body," says friend Allen Burry. (More Michael Douglas stories.) Report an error
