Jesse Plemons Clarifies Using Ozempic for Weight Loss
Having begun his career as a child actor, Jesse Plemons gained prominence with his roles in Friday Night Lights and Breaking Bad saga. He continued to remain active as a supporting cast in movies like The Irishman (2019), The Power of the Dog (2021), and Killers of the Flower Moon (2023).
For his recent work in Kinds of Kindness (2024), he played three roles, earning critical acclaim for his performance. However, what surprised many was his drastic physical transformation, as he lost 50 pounds since incorporating intermittent fasting into his everyday routine.
But many found his physical transformation journey a bit suspicious, attributing his look to the diabetes medication Ozempic. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, he opened up about his weight loss journey, clapping back at the usage of any medication to achieve those results.
It’s really unfortunate that I decided to get healthy when everyone decided to take Ozempic. It doesn’t matter, everyone’s going to think I took Ozempic anyways.
For the unversed, Ozempic is a type 2 diabetes medication, used to improve glycemic control. However, one of its notable effects is significant weight loss in many individuals, and has become popular among celebrities for its efficacy.
The Civil War actor acknowledged that his age somehow influenced his decision to lose weight, adding that he gave a shot to intermittent fasting, which is insanely popular among individuals who pursue traditional methods for weight loss. He continued,
But what it was was getting older and — I hate even getting specific because then it turns into a whole thing, but there was a part that I did that in my mind I could not imagine him as the size that I was. Several people talked to me about intermittent fasting and I just gave it a shot and [was] surprised at how quickly it was effective.
He acknowledged that he was surprised by how the traditional method worked on him. After shedding some weight, he “was feeling better, and something shifted in my head.” This prompted him to continue the same, resulting in him adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Intermittent Fasting Changed Jesse Plemons’s Lifestyle
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the Breaking Bad star reflected on how adopting intermittent fasting in his routine helped him shed 50 pounds “over the course of a year and a half or so.” Due to his consistency in keeping up with his habits, his overall well-being has drastically improved, leading him to live a good lifestyle.
The Fargo actor, who shares two sons: Ennis and James, with actress Kirsten Dunst, admitted that his kids became more of a reason for him to go down this healthy path. He continued, “I have much more energy [now] and, like I’ve said, I’ve got young kids, so I got to keep up with them.”
His efforts yielded great results as the actor won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actor for his work in the movie. The Poor Things fame, Yorgos Lanthimos has helmed the new project, collaborating once again with Emma Stone in the anthology comedy movie, with other cast including Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, and Joe Alwyn among others.
Kinds of Kindness is available in theatres.
