Country star Luke Combs, 32, has opened up in a candid new interview about his struggles with his weight.

Celebrities being open about their struggles with their body image and their health is always a good thing — being able to see these conversations happening in our society helps to normalize them. This is especially true for male celebrities, who are often left out of the conversation when it comes to body positivity. Country star Luke Combs is opening up about his own struggles in a new interview.

"It was always something that's bugged me," Luke said. "Especially when you're younger."

"You're like, 'Man, I just got a horrible genetic dice roll on this thing.' You start to realize that almost even more when you're older and it's like, not that I don't pig out because I do pig out. I'm not trying to say it's not my fault because it is in a lot of ways," he told Apple Music's Zane Lowe.

"But also, I got to this point where I'm like, man, I'd really love to trim down. And it's so hard for me to do that."

Luke also noted that becoming a father changed his relationship with his weight.

"This having a kid thing has really messed up my head on this thing in the best way," he said.

"I want to be around, dude. Do you know what I mean?" Luke went on. "I want my thing to continually become better overall. The show, the songs, the everything," he said. "I feel like sometimes I go in, I'm like, 'Man, I don't want people to think of me in this way where it's like, this guy doesn't care about himself.'"

"And I know not that anybody does, that's another OCD thing where you're like- what's everybody, what are they going to think?"

"And so it's something that I've definitely struggled with, but it's also something that I just am also really comfortable in my own skin as well."

We're definitely here for more men sharing their struggles!
