Ethan Suplee, best known for his role in the American sitcom My Name Is Earl, has amazed fans with his dramatic weight loss transformation. The 47-year-old actor, who once weighed over 500lbs (around 35 stone) by the age of 24, has been sharing his fitness journey on Instagram.
In a recent post, Suplee shared a side-by-side comparison of himself at his heaviest and his current physique, showing the results of his hard work at the gym. He captioned the image: 'I am aware of change as much as I am aware of the sun rising and setting. What shapes how we change? Is it some divine force, our environment, the chemistry within the meat sacks we use to navigate this mortal plane? The only constant in life is change.'
Fans have hailed his transformation as 'inspirational,' with one commenting: 'Ethan I just would like to say thank you for sharing your journey. You have directly inspired me to take my health back.' Another added: 'You’re a true motivation. I am 60 down and loving life, your story found me and was a big part of me starting and doing it right the first time.'
Suplee, who also appeared in American History X, Santa Clarita Diet, and The Hunt, has spoken about his struggle with secret eating and dramatic dieting. He previously said: 'I’m trying now to learn to live in, and be happy with, the maintenance period… I spent decades adjusting to periods of suffering through dieting. It worked. I’d get to my goal—and then very rapidly undo my goal.'
