These celebrities were on the top of the charts in good times but they too struggle with their weight – just as we normal people do – but the difference is, they are judged for how much weight they gain or lose.
This is a list of fat actors who went from fit to fat over the years. Some of them gained weight because of alcohol or food indulgence, whereas others went along the good old fashioned route of gaining a few pounds every year as they aged.
