Marcello De Angelis ill


A rising talent of Brazil’s bodybuilding scene, Classic Physique standout Marcello De Angelis has reportedly been hospitalized after a virus left him incapacitated. In a recent social media post made on Wednesday, De Angelis revealed that he contracted a virus last week and has lost over 9 kilograms (19.8 pounds) due to severe dehydration.

Fans were counting down the days until they could see De Angelis finally grace some of the sport’s most prestigious stages. Last year, De Angelis competed at the 2021 Expo SuperShow in Men’s Open, an event that saw him dominate en route to earning his Pro card. Following the victory, he left the bodybuilding community in a state of shock over his sharp conditioning and tight waist. However, one of the biggest takeaways from the Brazilian star last year was his ability to hit vacuum poses on stage with relative ease.
