Name the actors you lost some respect for once they got fat?
Laurence Fishburne - after watching Predators, it's really sad that he lost that physique he worked hard for in the Matrix flicks.
Marlon Brando - I think it was Don Juan De Marco where he started to transform. Val Kilmer - He was fine in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but why did he fatten himself up after? Steaven Seagal - come on, you are a martial arts buddhist. Aren't you supposed to have some sense of control? Alec Baldwin - I just can't watch him fat. Daniel was supposed to be the fat Baldwin, not Alec! Any others? |
Re: Name the actors you lost some respect for once they got fat?
Brendan Fraser. He went from his George Of The Jungle physique to what he is now.

Re: Name the actors you lost some respect for once they got fat?
Kirstie Alley, and not because she got fat (I don't respect actors less simply because they gain weight). No, for Alley it was the way she wouldn't shut up about it, with the publicity, the TV show, the commercials, etc.

Shit, dude, people age! And nearly all of time, with age, comes decreased activity, and with decreased activity, comes more pounds.
The actors that lose tons of weight, I gain even more respect for. I can't wait to see a new movie with John Goodman, Jennifer Hudson, Seth Rogan. I am still waiting for the day when Jonah Hill loses his extra weight, buffs up, and gets cast in an action hero role! |

Dan Aykroyd. His Jimmy Carter is literally a stretch for him now.
The only SNL'er who could've been a Python, according to Eric Idle. |

And if, like Seagal, you don't work out as much (or do fewer 'roids, LOL), you get chunkier.
I cant say I've lost respect for them, but I have to admit that Im stunned at how different Alec Baldwin looks with the extra weight and how quickly he gained it. I think it was within a 5 year span he looked like he aged 10-15 years. |

Hey, when they can start affording personal chefs, that's when it all goes to hell.

Re: Name the actors you lost some respect for once they got fat?
John Goodman lost weight? If so good for him. Last I saw him on TV he was being interviewed on Ellen and he was huge, pouring sweat during a sit down.
Felt really bad for the guy. |

Re: Name the actors you lost some respect for once they got fat?
Tom Cruise did not get fat, but lost respect for him anyway.
Orson Wells did get fat, and he got even better! So who's to say? |

Re: Name the actors you lost some respect for once they got fat?
I had read somewhere that Seagal gained weight due to a reaction to medications he was taking for an injury, but I can't seem to find anything about it anymore...

Re: Name the actors you lost some respect for once they got fat?
I'd say weight gain is more about taking in too many calories than it is eating a lot more food than normally. For example, if you eat tons of candy and such, those calories are gonna rack up fast...

Kilmer gained a lot of weight for Alexander, and had trouble loosing it afterwards. |

Marlon Brando - I think it was Don Juan De Marco where he started to transform. Robert Mitchum started to gain weight in the mid-70s. I remember seeing AMSTERDAM KILL (1978) at a neighborhood theater and in one shot, his belly is quite obvious and a kid in the audience yelled out, "Damn, he's fat!" And no, he didn't mean, "He's phat!" (Mitchum's "phat" days were around the time of his marijuana bust some 30 years earlier.) |
Re: Name the actors you lost some respect for once they got fat?
How does gaining weight affect one's talent? Or is this just a "look how fat he/she got" thread?

At least some here anyway. As to the original posters question None. Are you going to lose respect for your wife is she gets fat? |

Re: Name the actors you lost some respect for once they got fat?
wtf...I made the comment on the Predators thread that it looked weird that Fishburne looked bigger but it wasn't his size that made me not like the character. It was the character itself.
Respect? Do you know these people personally? Respect what they do. Not what they look like. Otherwise me and my huge appreciation (and quirky appeal to her "beauty") for Tilda Swinton would not exist. Granted..she's not big...but a good example. |

and I have lost some respect with my brother who went from buff to obese. I was over 220 pounds and I lost respect for myself, so I just lost over 30 pounds and I feel a lot better. Why would you not lose respect for someone that hurts themselves? Why would I say, "oh, it's okay to be fat especially when it's giving you all these health problems," especially when many of these health problems will go away once you lose weight...Why would I respect someone that doesn't take care of their health? I'm not a "respect a person for the way they are for every type of scenario" person. I certainly can respect a Republican, but when it comes to obeseness and smokers, that's when I am honestly disgusted...if the obesity is unrelated to food (the rare cases), that's another story. But the problem in America's obeseness is poor diet, eating the wrong foods, and eating the wrong food combinations. I don't understand America's respect of gluttony. |
Re: Name the actors you lost some respect for once they got fat?
See that's different. You know them personally.
You don't know these people, I think. Your belief on that is really weak. You're not going to change them. I highly doubt you'll meet them and tell them what you think of them. What's the point? |

S'funny you mentioned her. She was always on my "to do" list ( ;) ), and that goes for her now, too, weight be damned (doggy-style is everyones' friend, LOL)...but I'd have to give her a couple boxes of Twinkies or something to keep her from talking while I did the deed.
