On Sunday, the biggest names in television gathered to celebrate exceptional shows and performances at the 76th Primetime Emmys. Viewers tuned in to see their favorite series compete for the coveted awards. However, the big winner of the night was Tyler James Williams and everyone who wondered, “Where my hug at?” after seeing the actor’s chiseled arms in a sleeveless style.
The Best Supporting Actor nominee makes waves on every red carpet with fabulous fashion that puts him on the best-dressed lists. Williams has subtly shown off his fit physique on the red carpet before with a matching mesh shirt under his light blue Amiri suit at the 2024 SAG Awards.

Tyler James Williams’ Rough Road To His Rock-Hard Body
Last year, Williams revealed to Men’s Health that his hard body was hard-fought after years of struggling with Crohn’s disease. He didn’t get diagnosed with the condition, which severely inflames the digestive system, until the age of 24. By that time, he was unable to eat and in so much pain that he needed emergency surgery to remove six inches of his intestines.
When Williams didn’t heal correctly from that procedure, he went into septic shock and nearly died. While recovering, he couldn’t eat normally and required nutrients through IV for months. During that time, he dropped from 130 lbs down to a dangerously low 105 lbs and “was too weak to stand.”
Since then, he rebuilt himself and his health brick by brick. When the Dear White People star’s magazine cover dropped, he dedicated it to everyone with similar struggles. We love to see it… and his ripped results!
“This one is for the Crohns Patients, the “hard gainers”, the skinny kids, and those thriving while fighting invisible illnesses. May we all continue to learn how to listen our bodies and treat them better. Thank you to @menshealthmag for the feature and chronicling my journey thus far,” he wrote.
