“Jesse Plemons Opens Up About Weight Loss Drugs and Intermittent Fasting Amidst Celebrity Rumors – Newsweek”

Entertainment news and updates from Newsweek’s team of contributors

Actor Jesse Plemons has successfully shed some pounds by committing to a healthier lifestyle, despite speculation that he used weight loss drugs to achieve his new physique.

Plemons, known for his roles in “Breaking Bad” and “Fargo,” has denied using Ozempic, a diabetes medication that some celebrities have used for its appetite-suppressing side effects. In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Plemons shared, “It’s really unfortunate that I decided to get healthy when everyone decided to take Ozempic.” He credits his motivation for a healthier lifestyle to his role in the film “Civil War,” which was offered to him by his wife, Kirsten Dunst, after another actor dropped out.

The 36-year-old actor focused on changing his diet, including trying intermittent fasting, which he found to be surprisingly effective. “Several people talked to me about intermittent fasting and I just gave it a shot,” he said. The results were quick and as he continued with the diet and his acting role, he noticed sustained weight loss and overall better health. “I was feeling better, and something shifted in my head… I just sort of got a handle on it,” Plemons explained.

Other celebrities have also turned to weight-loss drugs for assistance. Oprah Winfrey revealed in a People interview that she uses medication as needed to manage her weight and prevent yo-yo dieting. Kelly Clarkson mentioned on her talk show that she takes a drug to help with weight loss, clarifying that it’s not Ozempic but another medication that helps her body break down sugar more effectively. Whoopi Goldberg also shared her experience with weight-loss medication on Clarkson’s show, crediting Mounjaro, a Type 2 diabetes medication, for her significant weight loss.
