Heard about this and was not surprised. He is an older man who is also overweight and travels a lot. His health has been slowly compromised for some time. I'm actually surprised he didn't have an attack years ago. That's wonderful that Omarosa basically saved his life. I hope this just brings them closer together as I actually do like them as a couple.

Wow.......lucky man.

Didn't he become a vegetarian? Did he backslide? Hope he recovers well.

He's overweight? Any pics I've ever see of him just shows him to be a BIG dude.

He's 54...is that still considered "old" nowsdays???

...of course, if he happened to have dabbled in steroids in his younger days....

He is 6 foot 4 inches and 300 pounds which gives him a BMI of 36 and puts him in the obesity range. He has said he likes fried foods which are also bad for the heart if one is not using healthy fats like olive oil or sesame oils. I believe he drinks but not too heavily. Still that's not a good addition to a diet high in processed foods. He did lose some weight by being with Omarosa who has a healthy lifestyle but I think he was bigger before he got with her.

54 if old enough for a heart attack. I dunno about steroids. Its possible.

Goodness my BF is same age, height and almost the same weight as Micheal and he is strong like a horse. He eats leaner meats but doesn't do greasy foods.

Something else gotta be up with him. Poor guy, luckily Omararosa was there to help him.

Wonder what caused it...

Duncan became a vegetarian three years ago and released a video with PETA last May in which he mentioned the decision was in part because of illnesses and health problems. He didn’t elaborate on any specific illnesses.

“The best thing about being a vegetarian for me, number one is I know I’m not harming any animals,” Duncan said in an interview with PETA. “The number two thing is increased strength. I’m a lot stronger than I was when I was eating meat. Most of your most powerful animals in the wild are vegetarian, so I’m trying to get my strength to that level. I don’t know if I’ll make it or not, but elephants are vegetarians. They’re pretty big, so…”

He has said he lost 35 lbs. off his 6-foot, five-inch build since becoming a vegetarian.

Here's hope for a healthy recovery for Mr. Duncan and credit Omarosa for her quick response and actions. [Edited 7/13/12 17:18pm]

Let's give credit where credit is due to her buuuut I can't help thinking about the irony in having Omarosa to thank for his life.

In the end I bet she's gonna make him... oh nevermind..... I'm glad he doing okay now and best wishes for a speedy recovery and I'm grateful she was there

I know, I know, shame on me LOL.

Lord, it took me a minute to realize which actor this was.

I hope he recovers fully and has a healthy life of longevity ahead of him. This recently just happened to a friend of ours who's only in his late forties, and he's even smaller than Duncan. His wife is a lovely sista from the UK who loves sugar & white starches with loads of butter, fat ,and salt. She can cook her a** off alright, but after a dinner at their house you do feel like you need to fast for like, a week Bad eating really can be the near death of you if you're not careful

Thank God Omarosa was there to help him. I hope he recovers.

Wow. Omarosa finally gets press for something laudable.

Glad she could help. I hope they're both well.
