Shapely Actors / Actresses Who Got Very Heavy

DL fav and fatty Chrissy Metz.

Kathleen Turner

Chrissy Metz doesn't count because she's never been thin.

Garrett Clayton

Barbara Pepper (Mrs. Ziffle on Green Acres) used to be a glamour girl. She was the Sally Struthers of her day.

Ann Sothern (another DL fave/TCM regular)

colton haynes

kirstie alley, madonna!

Cary Elwes

Madonna is no actress.

Anita Ekberg. Anna Nicole Smith.

Marlon Brando

Kelly Shane Smith

^Keely Shaye Smith

William Petersen. From athletic sprinter in his 80s movies to oversized jackets on CSI!

Leo DiCaprio, Vince Vaughn and John Favreau, Matt Damon (pictured).

John Travolta

Matthew Perry

Valerie Kilmer

Er Valerie Kilmer

Kristie Alley

Russell Crowe

Ann Sothern got very sick with hepatitis at one point, and then had other medical issues which I believe account for some of her weight gain.

A lot of people develop medical conditions that they don’t discuss publicly. It’s not as if everyone who is overweight is just shoving Oreos down their faces 24/7.

Valerie Bertinili.

Sothern also had some scenery fall on her in a theatrical production which kept her in traction and basically in forced inactivity for a while, which led to weight gain.

r23 Put down the oreos to type, fatty

Mario Lanza, Kathryn Grayson, Esther "you're too big for polka dots, Jeff" Williams

Brenda Vaccaro.

Marsha Mason.

Sarah Bernhardt

R23= Chrissy "Garbage Can" Metz

Rosemary Clooney

Orson Welles - At the end he was wearing those ridiculous capes and hats.

Doesn't Damon just gain weight for roles, but then deflates to a normal size?

Hey, what about me!?!

Vincent Donofrio.

Jessica Simpson (does she count?)

The Widow Anna Nicole Smith

Gérard Depardieu

James Spader

Is Damon actually shapely? Isn’t he just fat?

Nicole Eggert

Rob Reiner. He gained weight over the course of All in the Family and was plump by the time of This is Spinal Tap.

Yasmine Bleeth

Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams .

Brendan Fraser

Lauren Tewes

Katherine Turner

Sigh

Ben Affleck

She resembles Jabba the Hutt at R44.

Billy Zane

Nell Carter

Orson and Gérard own this thread. By the time he was doing the Paul Masson wine commercials, Orson was the size of a small condo building

Helmut Berger

Luke Wilson was pretty fat there for a while.

R44 she’s needs to get back on the coke.

R5, she was in two of my favorite comedies: "Murder He Says" and "Kiss Me Stupid" (as a waitress at the Belly Button).

[quote]Sothern also had some scenery fall on her in a theatrical production which kept her in traction and basically in forced inactivity for a while, which led to weight gain.

She was trying to stand behind it

Rod Taylor got pretty substantial

Val Kilmer

Barbara Cook

Walter Slezak (in the 20s, in German silents, he was a hottie)

Didn't skinny Shirley Knight get fairly chunky?

Ginger Rogers (in the 30s she was an Art Deco goddess)

Steven Seagal

Kelly LeBrock

R58 yes, she was pretty heavy set in As Good As it Gets.

Val Kilmer , Kathleen Turner and several others have serious medical issues . There but for the Grace of God go YOU.

R62 my mom’s first cousin has RA; so does Caroline Kennedy. And countless others. None of them look like that.

Maybe she’s just a fucking cow and a drunk who let herself go and likes to use that as a rather convenient excuse. (Plus, she was always a big boned girl, being fat has probably always been in her genes.)

Carrie Fisher. A lot of psych medications can make people gain weight, and she needed to take them.

As for Orson Welles, he was never thin. Even in the days of "Citizen Kane", he was chunking up.

Bump

Ahem.

vince vaughn

Linda Evangelista

DL fav Vivian Vance.

R60, I raise you your Kelly LeBrock with my Kelly McGillis, and not only added a lot of weight, but also a

Yikes, I got cut off in the last post. "...but also a lesbian hairdo and a frumptastic new image."

Cary Elwes

Lorraine Bracco

Greta Scacchi

Virginia Madsen

Rose Marie

What is meant by "shapely" here?

Frank Sinatra, Jr.

Pat Carroll

Elvis

Jim Morrison

James Cagney

Virginia Mayo

Candice Bergen.

Mickey Rooney … too much Rainier beer.

[quote]As for Orson Welles, he was never thin. Even in the days of "Citizen Kane", he was chunking up.

Yeah, but in [italic]The Muppet Movie[/italic] he was just plain [bold]FAT[/bold].

Certainly, there is a thin actress inside Chrissy Metz.

[italic]One[/italic] thin actress? Honey, she's got enough room in there for a revival of [italic]Steel Magnolias[/italic].

R 23, yes, some of the trashy newspapers in the UK were nasty a few years ago. ‘ about politician Mo Mowlam because of weight gain, turned out she was taking steroids for cancer which killed her not long after. But of course R26 knows better and doubtless has the physique of a Greek god..

Define "shapely" please.

[quote]Shapely Actors / Actresses Who Got Very Heavy

"Round" is a shape, OP.

Gerard Butler. He's getting like Russell Crowe.

Johnny Carson and Gene Kelly got surprisingly heavy due to medical problems.

Carson was especially disconcerting as he had been rail thin his entire long career.

Do you have any links to their pics, R88? Hard to imagine them very heavy especially Carson.

Johnny Carson got stout in retirement.
