North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un drinks heavily and cries regularly as he battles midlife crisis, experts say.

The dictator turned 39 earlier this week and leads an unhealthy life, with his long absences from the public eye suggesting he is struggling with serious health issues.

Now Dr. Choi Jinwook, a Seoul-based North Korean scholar, says the leader is facing new concerns about his personal health and safety as he nears quarantine

“I heard he was crying after drinking a lot. He is very lonely and under pressure,” Dr Jinwook told The Telegraph, via Daily Star.

The report says Kim is overweight, a heavy smoker, and “drank fine spirits and wines like a fish.”

North Korea's dictator has been told by his doctors and wife to cut down on his drinking and exercise more frequently, but the leader is apparently ignoring these pleas.

It is reported that Kim is so concerned about his health that he travels with his own toilet on rare trips abroad, to prevent spies from poking around in his poo for clues.

Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, died of heart failure at the age of 69 in 2011 and the Supreme Leader's anxieties may be due to his father's death.

Kim Jong Il reportedly suffered a stroke in 2008 and had a taste for cigars, cognac and fine dining. It is also believed that he suffered from diabetes and heart disease.
