Charles Barkley is even more adamant that Michael Jordan is not a handsome man. After claiming on Oprah Winfrey’s show that Jordan was not good-looking, Barkley said it again on Stephen Colbert’s show. When asked if Jordan was a handsome man, Barkley flatly denied it.
The conversation started with Shaquille O’Neal being ranked ninth on GQ magazine’s list of the world’s sexiest men. Barkley was asked if Jordan was a handsome man. Barkley immediately responded with a hilarious response:
“I’m not good-looking, but I’m better-looking than Michael Jordan. And I’m sure better-looking than Shaquille O’Neal.”

However, his “King Charles” co-host Gayle King said she met Jordan from a recent marriage and that he seemed handsome. “It’s easy to think that rich people are handsome,” Chuckster said of Jordan’s multibillion-dollar status.
“That’s because he has $2 billion. “To be rich equals to being ugly. “
Barkley previously said in a segment on the Oprah show that people call Jordan handsome. But according to Chuck, MJ is only handsome because he has millions of dollars.
Barkley and Jordan had an iconic friendship on and off the basketball court. However, their relationship became strained and they stopped talking after Barkley made some comments about Jordan’s Charlotte Hornets.
Although Charles Barkley claimed Jordan was worth $2 billion, there was only a $1 billion difference in his worth. According to Forbes, the six-time champion is worth $3 billion.
Charles Barkley and his weight loss journey
Charles Barkley spent his NBA career as one of the most dominant big men in the league. However, the Phoenix Suns legend gained a lot of weight after retiring.
The former NBA player recently started a weight loss program after weighing 350 pounds. After consulting with his doctor about the weight gain, Chuck said he started a new weight loss regimen that worked well for him.
Barkley has been healthy and has lost a lot of weight since last year. Barkley recently said in an interview with sports commentator Pat McAfee that he changed his eating habits and exercised regularly, which helped him lose some weight.
Buckley also said he has been taking Mounjaro, a drug that helps adults with type 2 diabetes lose weight.
“I’m working out, I’m playing once a week,” he said, referring to Monjaro. “I started at 352 pounds. Now I’m down to 290 pounds. I’m starting to feel like a normal person, not a fat guy anymore.”
Charles Barkley admitted he didn’t know what the drug did to the body, but he took the injection every week.
