The son of basketball legend Magic also sported pink manicure.
In 2015, Johnson underwent gastric sleeve surgery which caused major weight loss.
And he told E! News he keeps the weight off with lighter meals.
‘For me I just constantly throughout the day I just nibble as opposed to sitting down for large meals,’ EJ explained.
EJ works out with a trainer and also does Pilates.
‘I do a lot of Pilates. I try to get at least four days a week in, so it’s a lot of that,’ he shared.
EJ said it’s all about ‘maintaining’ his weight while having a good time.
‘Find a workout that’s something you love to do,’ EJ said. ‘For me it’s not even working out it’s just having fun. We dance a lot, we sweat and at the end of it I’m like, “Wow! I burned all these calories and I didn’t even know because we were just having a blast.”‘
And he has cut out a lot of carbs and sugar, he told UsWeekly.
