“Blessed to see how many people still care, so thank you for all my birthday wishes.”
The last year has been a difficult one for the comedic actor after he previously suffered a series of setbacks caused by his back injuries.

In a recent Facebook posts, he addressed the culprits writing:
“I hear I’m ‘dead’ again. What crazy people posts such things? I will kick him where he will never be able to have children again. It’s not nice when people call you and say ‘I’m so happy to hear you voice.’
“Thank you dear Jesus that my life is in your hands!” he ended.
Leon is expected to undergo an operation, but before then he needs to lose at least 15kgs to avoid further complications during the procedure.
