Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates revealed her svelte new look after overhauling her lifestyle and using Ozempic to slim down and beat diabetes
Kathy Bates, 76, revealed her newly slimmed-down figure after an impressive 100-pound weight loss journey.
The American Horror Story star showed off her changed look at the star-studded Hollywood Reporter’s Annual Women in Entertainment Gala, which was hosted in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. Kathy paused for photos on the red carpet, smiling widely while flaunting her chic fashion sense.
Kathy had her hair longer than its usual short trim, with the strands reaching to her shoulders in gentle waves. The Oscar-winning actress sported black trousers, paired with a white shirt and edgy leather jacket. Adding more pops of colour to her look, she accessorised with leather gloves, a pink bag, and a loose mauve tie.
The Office star looked noticeably more trim in the red carpet shots, after revealing that she’d lost 100lbs- partly thanks to Ozempic. “It’s helped me tremendously that, over the last six or seven years, I’ve lost 100 pounds,” Kathy spoke of the perks of weight loss to Variety, adding, “I don’t think I’ve been this slim since I was in college.”
“I used to eat terribly: burgers and Cokes and pizza,” she confessed in a recent interview with People magazine. [Diabetes] runs in my family, and I’d seen what my father had gone through. He had had a leg amputation.”
Kathy confessed that 20lbs of her weight loss was aided by Ozempic, but that the rest came with hard work. Reflecting on her past struggles with weight during the filming of Harry’s Law in 2011, she expressed regret over her physical condition at the time. “I had to sit down every moment that I could. It was hard for me to walk. I’m ashamed I let myself get so out of shape, but now I have a tremendous amount of energy,” she shared.
Back in 2019 Kathy had already dropped 60lbs, and told Extra what drove her to make a change. “I was facing diabetes. It runs in my family and I really didn’t want to live with that,” she explained. She added that she was “in the best health I’ve been in in years and I’m so grateful it’s a miracle.”
Alongside Ozempic, Kathy has made plenty of lifestyle changes to aid her in dropping the pounds. She shared that she makes healthier food choices. and no longer eats past 8pm.
The Hollywood star also divulged that she keeps a healthy balance in her diet, and doesn’t deprive herself of the tastier foods in life. Kathy revealed that she absolutely relished the opportunity to dig into a hot dog on the Paramount set of her new show, Matlock. Alongside her dietary overhaul, Kathy has added more exercise in her regime. She shared that she is a big treadmill fan and plans to get into Pilates, and is loving having the energy to walk around her film set all day without tiring.
