Tommy Leehas never been one to count calories—but according to the Mötley Crüe drummer, he hasn’t had to.
During a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience on Tuesday, June 30, the 62-year-old revealed that he’s maintained nearly the same weight since high school, despite never following a strict diet.
Curious about how that was possible, Lee decided to do a little experiment. “I was, like, ‘Okay, how come I’ve weighed the same weight since f**king high school till today?'” he recalled. “And I’m, like, ‘That’s f**king weird.'”
To get some insight, Lee explained that years ago he clipped a pedometer to his shoe before one of Mötley Crüe’s concerts to see just how much ground he covered during a typical performance. And after a two-hour show, he finally had his answer.
“I f**king took it off after the show, and I looked down, and it said 13.3 miles,” he said. “And I was, like, ‘So that’s why I’m a skinny f**k.'”
For Lee, drumming has always been far more demanding than many fans realize. “It’s more like a sport. And you’re the f**king heartbeat, man,” he explained. “People say your band’s only as good as your drummer…it is physical, and it’s draining. But it’s f**king rad. I live for it.”
Lee is about to hit the road with Mötley Crüe on the band’s Return of the Carnival of Sins North American tour, which runs through the end of September. Fans will also be able to pick up a new premium Mötley Crüe trading card collection later this year.
Away from the stage, Lee has also weathered his share of personal headlines the past year. Rumors of a split with wife Brittany Furlan surfaced after Furlan revealed she’d been catfished by someone pretending to be Falling in Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke in May 2025, prompting her to temporarily stay in a hotel while the couple worked through the situation. She later said the ordeal “weirdly brought [them] together,” explaining on her This Is the Worst podcast per People, “The big thing is healing.”
Lee eventually put the speculation to rest, sharing a smiling photo of the couple on Instagram alongside the caption, “Hey fake news we’re not separated or divorced!! Get your s**t together!!” The pair married in February 2019 after about two years of dating.
Before marrying Furlan, Lee was famously married to Pamela Anderson, with whom he shares sons Brandon, 30, and Dylan, 28.
