Former Hollywood actress Amanda Bynes appeared in Los Angeles on Wednesday, showcasing a dramatically improved figure that has not been seen in decades. The 39-year-old star, who will celebrate her 40th birthday in April, confidently displayed her physique in a low-cut black bra top that revealed a slender midsection.
Stylish Outfit and Shopping Trip
Bynes complemented her top with black basketball shorts that highlighted her toned legs and extensive tattoo collection. She completed the casual yet chic ensemble with sneakers and carried a designer Dior handbag as she made her way to her car. The actress was spotted arm-in-arm with her boyfriend, Zachary Khan, during a leisurely shopping excursion, holding a Red Bull energy drink in hand.
Impressive Weight Loss Journey
The budding fashion designer has achieved a remarkable 30-pound weight reduction after using Ozempic, a diabetes medication known for its weight loss side effects. Bynes first gained fame in the early 2000s through comedic roles on the WB sitcom 'What I Like About You' and popular teen movies such as 'Hairspray,' 'Big Fat Liar,' and 'Easy A.'
Personal Struggles and Recovery
Her career took a downturn in 2012 when she was arrested in West Hollywood for driving under the influence after her BMW collided with a police vehicle. In a recent social media post from December, Bynes revealed she had lost 28 pounds using Ozempic, dropping from 180 pounds to 152 pounds. She shared an inspiring photo on her Instagram Stories, expressing motivation despite feeling she still had progress to make.
Ozempic Commitment and Goals
In June 2025, the former child star, who left showbusiness over a decade ago due to personal issues including addiction to ADHD medication Adderall, announced via Instagram that she was starting Ozempic to reach her target weight of 130 pounds. At the time, she weighed 173 pounds and expressed excitement about improving her appearance in paparazzi photos, promising to document her journey.
Weight Fluctuations and Mental Health
Earlier in March 2024, Bynes disclosed on Instagram that she had gained more than 20 pounds while battling depression. The 'Love Wrecked' actress stated she was doing better and had learned to counteract negative feelings by maintaining exercise and healthy eating habits. She aimed to reduce her weight from 162 pounds back to 110 pounds.
Recent Ventures and Clarifications
Last year, Bynes announced the launch of an OnlyFans account, a paid subscription platform often associated with adult content but also used by various creators. She clarified that her intention was to interact with fans through direct messages, not to post explicit material. This move marks another step in her ongoing public reemergence and personal transformation.
