Claire Foy, the acclaimed actress known for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, has revealed she suffered from a parasitic infection for five years, leading her to eliminate caffeine from her diet. The 41-year-old star believes she contracted the parasites during a trip to Morocco.
Speaking candidly on the Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware podcast, Foy described the unsettling experience. "Quite a few years ago, I had parasites. Gross," she shared, adding, "I kept losing weight and I didn’t know what was going on." She endured the condition for approximately half a decade. "They travel as a pair. I got told by the doctor, gross, absolutely rank. It’s disgusting."
