When you talk about growth hormone deficiency (GHD), you’re referring to a condition where the body doesn’t produce enough growth hormone, which can significantly impact growth, metabolism, and overall health. It’s distinct from acromegaly (too much GH) or misuse of GH for performance enhancement.
Let’s look at some public figures who truly have GHD, as opposed to those simply rumoured to take human growth hormone (HGH) for anti-ageing or aesthetic reasons.
Notable figures with confirmed GHD
Andy Milonakis
You’ll know him best as the comedian whose appearance and voice stayed eternally adolescent despite his age. That’s because he actually has GHD, which gives him that boyish look, even now into his 40s.
Lionel Messi
Before you call the whingers who claim his skills are unnatural, hold your horses. Messi was legitimately diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency at age 10. It almost derailed his footballing dream before treatment got him back on track.
Linda Hunt
The Oscar-winning actor has GHD; she was diagnosed when she was a teenager, which contributes to her unique, petite stature.
Shauna Rae (TLC star)
Known from reality TV, she developed GHD as a result of childhood glioblastoma cancer treatment and has been open about its impact on her growth.
Max Casella
Remember him in The Sopranos or Newsies? He didn’t hit puberty until he was 27 due to GHD. He “pumped… full of testosterone and growth hormones” to get things moving, and, surprise, he’s still on growth hormone treatment.
Celebrities often associated with HGH use (mostly for aesthetic rather than medical reasons)
Celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Nick Nolte, Alana Stewart, and others have been linked with using HGH, but not because they’re deficient. Rather, they’ve reportedly taken it to maintain their looks or vitality as they age. For instance, Stallone reportedly used HGH to get buff for Rambo IV, and has praised the mental and physical benefits.
That said, these instances are not GHD: they’re off-label, aesthetic or performance-related uses. And be under no illusion, HGH is not a miracle elixir. There are serious risks, including heart disease, diabetes, increased cancer risk, and even fatal outcomes when abused.
How we can help
We offer two human growth hormone products:
- Cinnatropin 30IU (10 mg) – £130.
- HGH-XR 36IU (12 mg) – £140
These are marketed as HGH treatments, but only legitimate, prescription-based use for confirmed GHD is medically sound. Otherwise, using them for anti-ageing or muscle gain is irresponsible and potentially dangerous. We provide fast, secure deliver.
Final thought
Let’s not confuse genuine hormone disorders with cosmetic or performance hormone use. GHD is a diagnosed medical condition that genuinely affects these individuals’ lives. Meanwhile, many celebs linked to HGH are simply chasing the fountain of youth, and doctors and evidence are sharply divided on the ethics and safety of that path.
