What’s more, the once-svelte star now finds himself in the danger zone for a host of diseases, including deadly cancers and a heart attack. “It appears that he’s packed on at least 50 pounds,” diet and nutrition expert Dr. Stuart Fischer told The National ENQUIRER.

“For someone who used to be a dancer, he now looks like he can’t even walk up a flight of stairs,” said Dr. Fischer, author of “The Park Avenue Diet.” He estimates that 63-year-old John weighs a whopping 265 pounds, “That weight is likely to be catastrophic for a guy his age.”

What’s more, John’s weight may lead him to develop diabetes. “That could lead to a fatal heart episode,” Dr. Fischer cautioned. “The visceral fat that the lower abdomen produces in obesity creates chemicals that promote several different types of cancer,” he revealed. “Among them are prostate, lung and pancreatic cancers — any of which could leave him dead.”

While it’s hard to imagine a star of John’s caliber coming to this, he’s actually experienced weight swings before. He first piled on major pounds after the tragic loss in 2009 of his 16-year-old son, Jett (2nd right, with John's wife Kelly Preston, right, and daughter Ella, left).

“The truth is, I didn’t know if I was going to make it,” the actor confessed. “Life was no longer interesting to me.” But John did bounce back, dumping some 30 pounds by 2013 and looking like the athletic leading man he used to be.

His career even seemed to be on the upswing these last few years, although allegations of his participation in a string of sordid homosexual affairs — despite being married to actress Kelly for 26 years — may have taken a toll, leading John to let himself go.

“John rarely hits the gym,” squealed a source close to the star. “And he parties quite a bit whenever he’s away from Kelly.”

This summer, John hits screens in “The Life and Death of John Gotti,” playing the title role of the infamous Mafioso. Like the famous "Teflon Don," a cigar aficionado who died in a Missouri prison after losing a lengthy battle to cancer, John's unhealthy habits could well do him in.

“He’s clearly paid little or no attention to taking care of himself with exercise or a sound diet,” said Dr. Fischer. “He’s likely to pay a fatal price if he doesn’t reverse course — fast!”
