Big News World: 10 Male Celebrities Who Have Slimmed Down

When you’re just a regular Joe, it can be difficult to lose weight. So imagine what celebrities have to go through when their livelihood depends on them looking slim or even ripped. Well, in fairness, they have the means to hire a personal trainer to get them into shape and a chef to cook satisfying, nutritious food. But even with that, they often succumb to the temptations of eating whatever they want and packing on the pounds. But there are exceptions to the rule. Here are 10 celebrities who have lost weight and kept it off.

1. Chris Pratt

When Pratt co-starred on Parks & Recreation, he was known as the chubby, lovable dofus. But when he landed the role of Peter Quill/Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise in 2014, he suddenly transformed into swole, Hollywood leading man. He’s also subsequently starred in a pair of Jurassic World movies (with a third one coming out in 2022) and The Tomorrow War, a military science fiction flick scheduled for release this July.

2. Ethan Suplee

For most of his career, Suplee has played obese characters, most notably white supremasist Seth Ryan in American History X and high school football player Louie Lastik in Remember the Titans. But as time has gone on, he’s gotten noticeably slimmer, and now he’s really hulked up. In total, he’s lost 200lb by cutting back on his caloric intake, increasing the amount of protein in his diet, and working out 6 days a week.

3. Tim McGraw

Back in 2008 when the legendary country singer made his acting debut in the movie Four Christmases, his daughter remarked that he looked “big” on the screen. Tipping the scales at 215lb, he made the decision to make some lifestyle changes and as a result lost 40lb. He started off by going on light walks in the mornings, eventually raising it to 20-minute daily jogs and weight training. He has stated that not only does he feel better healthwise, it gives him more endurance when he’s on stage.

4. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino

When the star of Jersey Shore was busted for tax evasion and sentenced to 8 months in prison, he figured it would be a good idea to use that time to get fit. He left the Federal Pen 35lb slimmer thanks to a strict regiment that included working out as often as three times a day and intermittent fasting. He has stated that he fasted for as many as 19 hours, which is every bit as difficult as it sounds.
