Former President Bill Clinton was told to shed 15 lbs by daughter Chelsea in time for her summer wedding, Clinton revealed today.
Clinton, speaking at a fiscal summit in Washington D.C., told the anecdote after being asked by moderator Bob Schieffer if he was in shape to handle giving away his only daughter.
“She doesn’t think I’m in shape to handle it. You know, she told me the other day, she said, ‘Dad the only thing you gotta do is walk me down the aisle and you need to look good,’” Clinton said.
“So I said ‘Well, what’s your definition?’ And she said: ‘Oh, about 15 pounds.’ So I’m halfway home,” Clinton joked to laughter from the audience.
CLINTON UNSURE WHETHER GOLDMAN BROKE THE LAW
Clinton described his future son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky, as a “fine human being.”
Chelsea Clinton is expected to wed Mezvinsky this summer on Martha’s Vineyard, an island off the coast of Massachusetts.
