Denzel is fat as fuck

[Fortress]

Stumbled upon a very recent interview with Denzel on JooTube.

Guy’s gotten fat as fuck.

That 1983 Olympia snub ruined his life (and physique)

Great post, thanks for the link to the video.

He looked a bit heavy at the Oscars. He's 67 now though. I can't believe he was 48 in Philadelphia. And 62 in American Gangster. He looked younger, IMO.

Do people just get bored of staying in shape? Or are metabolism changes with age really so significant? Or is it some combination?

He's done his job in life. Do you honestly think he gives a fuck about "being in shape" at close to 70? He's a great actor, a mega millionaire,  and he has never been "obese".

Matt, most people in this world do not share your views on what is in "shape".

Especially a guy like Denzel. He's old school acting.

He isn't Will Smith, Chris Pratt, Captain America, Michael B Jordan, That Aussie guy that plays Thor, Jason Mamoa....etc....all juice for the roles.


We can go on and on with the names. I don't care one way or the other, but it just seems sad that most people fall for the bullshit.

When there are millions of dollars at stake, and the complete narcissism of Hollywood combine, anything goes.

I would do the same thing.

Do you think I was being hard on him?

I think he looked a bit heavy at the Oscars, which I would never have even noticed if not for this thread.

I can kind of see that he looks a bit out of shape compared to what he used to, but hardly "fat" by the standards or a normal senior citizen, by any means.

Regarding being in shape though...I find some bodybuilders retire, and literally seemingly don't even train again.

Do they just stop training altogether? Are they unable to keep up the intensity without PED's helping them?

I've just noticed many of them seem to give it up completely, once they stop competing. And in a similar way, I see this trend among celebrities too. Although after checking online, I don't see anything recent showing that Denzel looks fat.

I was thinking I missed a video where he looks like Jeff Capes or something:

LMAO  Denzel on Dbol

[Matt]

Hm, Fortress was right - Denzel is noticeably up in body fat:

You can't really tell from his face. But in that particular interview, in those clothes, you can tell.

I was expecting a reverse Rebel Wilson transformation or something. That's not as dramatic as I thought from the OP, but heavier than I've ever seen him.

Has anyone here watched him in Mississippi Masala? It's an obscure movie he made around 1991.

You do know that actors also gain weight for certain roles....

Not saying that is what Denzel is doing, but it is far from unheard of, from A-list actors to gain or lose a bunch of weight for a particular role.

That makes sense. It could be that.

Denzel has been in pretty good shape all of his life - even by age 45 or 50 or beyond. He was a boxer in the movie "The Hurricane" which came out when he was 45.

John Goodman gained weight in "10 Cloverfield Lane" which was filmed when he was 63. I have no idea why he would get this fat at that age - seems like a massive risk. Meanwhile, Christian Bale said he was going to stop doing body weight transformations after "Vice". Mark Wahlberg and The Rock both increased their doses for "Pain and Gain", but that seems less risky than bulking up to 350+ or whatever John Goodman weighed here:

[Matt]

I'd love it if Henda spotted a guy like this while out taking a dip at a public pool, then posted about it on here. I'm intrigued that people can get to this size and still be alive - I feel like I'd have a heart attack way before getting anywhere near this - and over 60 here, no less:

[BRUTALIFTRUE]

Shit actor anyway.. Very punchable face

He def was not 62 in American Gangster, that movie came out in 07

I believe that Denzel was one of the few people in Hollywood that voted for Trump in 2016

Dudes my age and a tub of lard/shit.

[sculpture]

He def was not 62 in American Gangster, that movie came out in 07

Nor 48 in  Philadelphia which came out in 93

This guys figures are completely wrong

He was born long after the Crusades.

Supposedly.... He did not want to disclose who he voted for.

My bad!

Thank you for correcting me, Bevo.

When I first went online to check his age, a 1949 birth year came up, and then I checked another source that said 1954.

What I think happened is I combined the two, and used a 1945 birth year to calculate it [having both years in my mind, from the information below]. That's what I was basing that calculation on, but then saw his December 1954 birthdate on far more sources.

Maybe he doesn't look quite as young as I thought. But then - 67 is not a Spring Chicken. I think he looks good for technically being a senior citizen.

Thank you for correcting me, sculpture. I hate ker-fuck-ling objective facts. It's hard enough to discuss things when you have the right information. Let alone when you make mistakes.

Some prominent birth years have been messed up online - and I was almost certain I saw Denzel with a 1940's birth year online somewhere, but I see very little evidence of that. I also swear I saw Julianne Moore listed as being born in 1956 before on IMDB...but I don't know when I saw that there, if I ever did.

IMDB has definitely changed some birth years before. Here are some prominent ones - I'm sure at least a few Getbiggers remember Bolo Yeung being 50 when Bloodsport came out - but that has since been changed. Rachel McAdams got two years younger too:
