Though his fans knew he’d been losing weight, they didn’t know Ethan was going to be this skinny. The man’s appearance in the premiere of the film, Unstoppable in 2010, gained him much media attention. And, when TMZ got to interview him, he said the main reason for his transformation was bicycles. He joked,
I wear Spandex and everything.
Now, we all know how he lost all that weight, right? But, was there any specific reason for him to lose all that fat?
Reason for Weight Loss
Well, we all know Ethan Suplee and the director, Kevin Smith, are good friends. In fact, Suplee has appeared in a number of movies and tv series for his mate, starting with the big one, Mallrats.
During his appearance in Mallrats, he and Smith had made a bet. The bet was about shedding pounds!
According to Suplee, he had made a bet with Smith about losing more weight than him in a decade. And it seems, he has done so, right? In a decade or so, Ethan lost 200 lbs of body fat, and all the credits go to his six to eight hours of cycling daily.
In 10 years, he was 200 lbs lighter, but now, after as much as 16 years into his journey, he has shed 305 lbs of fat dropping his weight from 500lbs to 195lbs. He credits his weight loss to not only cycling but also workouts and action movies; he had come across.
Was Dropping Weight Fruitful for Ethan?
Well, in case of his mental and physical health, Ethan Suplee’s weight loss was a pretty good choice. But, it wasn’t fruitful for his acting career.
As he revealed in EW’s What to Watch podcast, the 6-feet-1-inch tall actor was close to missing out on the Hulu series, Chance, just because he was skinny. Shocked, right? Well, we were too!
Initially, the casting directors didn’t want me to come in because I’d lose a bunch of weight.
The father of four revealed that his casting directors, though proposed him to act in the movie at first, said he was not heavy enough following his weight loss. He also opened up about being someone who people didn’t know about at all after his body transformation.
I found that people were like, ‘Who are you? We don’t know you. You’re this new person.’
Well, after this, he made a decision to not kill himself while trying to lose weight. He just sat back and relaxed.
