Celebrities Who Have Transformed Their Weight, Looks and Lives!

Shedding those pounds is not an easy feat, and it can be even harder to do when living life in the public eye. Yet, in spite of the pressure that comes with constantly being under the spotlight, these celebs have risen to the challenge and bid bye-bye to the bulge.

Rebel Wilson — 60 Pounds

Rebel Wilson rose to fame in the Pitch Perfect movies where her character was named “Fat Amy”. It attempted to make light of the Aussie actress’s size, but she revealed that producers had actually forbidden her from getting smaller.

Once filming wrapped, the 41-year-old began her weight loss journey with healthy eating and exercise. She’s been hailed for her holistic approach to becoming healthier, proving that she is a rebel with a cause.

Kelly Clarkson — 37 Pounds

When Kelly Clarkson sang, “Since you been gone I can breathe for the first time,” who knew it would one day apply to her weight. Despite admitting that she constantly felt under pressure to be thin, that was actually not the motivation behind her weight loss journey.

The daytime TV host adopted a healthier lifestyle to combat her autoimmune disease and thyroid issues, with her weight loss just a convenient side effect.

Wayne Knight —117 Pounds

Being told that he was at risk of contracting diabetes and being morbidly obese is what pushed Wayne Knight to change his lifestyle. When the actor reprised his Seinfeld role as Newman in a 2020 election PSA, the mailman looked quite different.

Through healthy eating and a consistent exercise program, the 65-year-old heeded doctor’s orders and slimmed down, going from 327 pounds to 210. The comic actor made sure to keep his sense of humour though!

Susan Boyle — 50 Pounds

When Susan Boyle stepped onto the stage of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, she blew the world away with her voice. Since then, the talent show winner has blown people away with her ability to wave away the weight.

Three years after rising to fame, doctors informed the 60-year-old that she had Type 2 Diabetes. In order to get her health in line, Susan cut out her favourite thing — cakes and sweets.
