Physique Marcello De Angelis was hospitalized in the hospital

Marcello De Angelis earned his pro card last year in the Bodybuilding Open. He has since moved to the classic physique division and has high hopes for this season.

Despite his age, De Angelis has a long history of success on stage. He is a former Mr. Universe champion, Panamericano champion, 2x Sulamericano champion, 4x overall Brasileiro champion and 2x Paulista champion.

But this great competitor has been hospitalized. On Wednesday, he shared the news on his Instagram story. The specific illness was not disclosed, but De Angelis is dealing with severe dehydration. We hope he'll be out of his troubles soon and be able to present his form on stage.

"ALL WILL BE AS GOD WILLS. I'M GOING TO REST AND TAKE SALINE UNTIL THE DEHYDRATION STOPS. WHEN I'M WELL, I'LL POST IT HERE. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONCERN."
