I put on the new episode of Billions the other night and I had to do a double take.

Paul Giamatti before:

Paul Giamatti after:

He lost a ton of weight. Must have dropped at least 50 pounds if not more.

I thought he actually looked sickly for a minute, but apparently it isn't COVID related. He just wanted to get healthier and lose weight.

 

[mansoor1980]

he was rhino in that spider man movie , good for him

 

[Tschumi]

Always good news to see someone overcoming a habit or two

 

[Blade2.0]

I know it's good for his health, but he looks better bigger

 

[The Cockatrice]

I know it's good for his health, but he looks better bigger

He doesnt. Its just the lack of beard.

 

[Xenon]

Rent?

 

[Ballthyrm]

He doesnt. Its just the lack of beard.

He doesn't look any older wearing the beard either.
He looks better with the beard.

 

[poodaddy]

He looks better with the beard.

By far, yes.

 

[GeekyDad]

Kinda looks a bit like JK Simmons now.

 

[Rentahamster]

Kinda looks a bit like JK Simmons now.

Yup. They should do a movie together.

 

[Every Flamingo]

Yup. They should do a movie together.

Thanks, I now can't get the idea of Simmons Whiplash character, and Giamatti's Sideways character going on a road trip across America together.

"What d'ya think of this wine?"

*throws bottle of merlot at head*

 

[Werewolf Jones]

He looked better big. He looks like the soul got sucked out of him.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Losing weight aged him.

 

[Coolwhhip]

Losing weight aged him.

Fat people deflate like a balloon, that always ages you.

 

[DarkestHour]

Good for him. It was nice to see them mention the lack of beard in the show.

yeah it's really too bad, because I've known overweight people who are afraid to see what they look like once they lose the extra weight. but usually these people go through a rude awakening like a mild heart attack and have been told that if they don't lose weight immediately that death is imminent.

You might look older but you usually look better. Fat people tend to look the same-ish because their defining facial features are just hidden by fat.

 

[Punished Miku]

He looks much better now. It's not the most flattering picture in the OP.

 

[DarkArterialGore]

Reminds me of Miguel Ferrer a bit now that he's skinnier.

 

[DarkestHour]

For what reason did he shave and then grow it back? Another role?

Lost a bet probably. Gambling leads to nothing but ruin. Remember that.

 

[Jaysen]

Agreed. That pic with the beard is of a man who is much healthier now, younger looking, and more handsome. I just think he needs the beard

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

Wasn't that a joke in the Rick and Morty finale?

 

[Irobot82]

Oh man, one of my all time favorite actors. Good for him.

 

[GymWolf]

I know it's good for his health, but he looks better bigger

I thought the same tbh.

 

[jshackles]

He was looking pretty rough in Jungle Cruise, but I know that was filmed like a million years ago

Glad to see he's getting healtier.

 

[Sub_Level]

Nice. Best part of losing weight is the comments people give. Face fat is noticeable.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Giamatti on the Al Sharpton diet. Sharpton had a similar transformation when he lost weight, and the pic in the OP reminded me of that.

 

[Slicker than your average]

He was fantastic in shoot them up

 

[Quasicat]

Such a dynamic actor. He was so great in the control room on the Truman Show, as Pig Vomit in Private Parts, and Ralph in Saving Mr. Banks. All very different roles and still he is amazing in each of them.
