September 19 on CBS will air the 20th season of the series NCIS: Special Investigations.

Binder, the series’ executive producer, gave his opinion on a potential return of the 54-year-old actor in an interview with TV Insider : “For the past few years, he and I have talked a lot, but he was always very busy with Bull (…) The last time we spoke, he told me that he was going to rest because these last years have been tiring for him, not only with Bull, but also with the Covid. Over time, we will see what is possible or not…“A return of Michael Weatherly is therefore not yet in the news.

If Michael Weatherly seems in better shape than ever, the actor has always gone through a bad period in his life.

And this caused the actor to suffer from sleep apnea. The actor slept away from his then pregnant wife so that she would not have to endure her husband’s snoring.”When I gained weight, I was 113 kilos, I started snoring and it was annoying. So I spent a lot of time on the couch or in other rooms“, said Michael Weatherly in an interview with People in December 2018.
Accompanied by trainer Juliet Kaska, the 54-year-old actor then embarked on a diet that made him lose 35 pounds (16 kilos). “I stayed away from pasta, rice, bread, potatoes… Anything I like to eat, I haven’t eaten. And I limited myself on the consumption of alcohol“, he explained to People. Thanks to this draconian diet, Michael Weatherly had to lessen the harmful effects of this strong weight gain!
