The dubious portal "specialja.com" has published an old article with a false claim. So, as can be seen from the fact check, the actor Gramos Gashi has not lost weight and changed his appearance as a result of any illness, but due to the adaptation of a film role. The same false claim has been presented again, with the author's attempt to present it as current news, by giving it a false title. With this action, he aimed to attract as many clicks as possible by misinforming readers.
