Jennifer Aniston's new beau Jim Curtis has been hiding his health issues for years.
He shared to Fast Company magazine in 2018, "Up until 10 years ago, I had IBS, and accidents happened a lot. As a salesperson on the road a lot, I would have to walk through major airports literally for a couple of miles; I didn't want to wait for a wheelchair, trip and fall, and be so sweaty".
"I was doing that and not talking about it and pushing through. When something terrible happened, which it did, I would go into disaster mode or go home and take care of it and go back to work for another day."
Jim revealed that his health issues began in his teenage years, when he first experienced leg weakness and discovered lesions on his spinal cord. His condition worsened to the point where he admitted he had once 'wanted to die.'"
Although he endured pain, headaches, muscle spasms, and paralysis, even leading neurologists were unable to identify the cause of his condition.
His health deteriorated further after college, when he began a career on Wall Street. He explained to Fast Company, he said: "Wall Street comes with a lot of macho ego. It couldn't have been a worse choice. I had to stand up in a crowd all day. It was super high-stress, which is inflammatory and devastating for a condition like mine.
"The job exacerbated symptoms of fatigue and pain, and it triggered new ones like IBS and other uncontrollable conditions. I was walking with a limp and I didn't want to delve into the 'why.' So, most of the time, I fabricated stories. I claimed I'd been in an accident–often it was a motorcycle accident–because that seemed plausible, somewhat cool, and tough enough."
