The name Indra Lesmana Bruggman is certainly familiar to screen fans. This actor, who was born on May 8 1981, has traveled the world playing various types of films. However, behind his successful career as an actor, Indra was discovered to be suffering from hyperthyroidism in 2020.
Hyperthyroidism is a disease that occurs because the thyroid gland in the body produces excessive thyroid hormone. Too high thyroid hormone causes the body's metabolism to work very quickly. As a result, the body will experience a number of health problems, including increased appetite but weight will not increase.
The actor who plays Bagas in the soap opera Jinny Oh Jinny recently shared his story of fighting disease via his personal TikTok account @indralbruggman. Indra admitted that his body had undergone significant changes, even becoming thin. He was so skinny that netizens thought he was using illegal drugs.
However, slowly after a long struggle he returned to health. In fact, he was able to restore his appearance, namely a muscular body.
