My weight has fluctuated my whole life, and because I've been on television since I was 11 years old, everyone has seen it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that people's weight fluctuates. It happens. It happens to everybody.
I always had a weight issue since I was a young kid.
I don't obsess about my weight. I just know I've got to watch it when my pants feel tight.
I was raised to be self-conscious about weight. Then as I got older and started doing television, it became a career issue, like, 'You have to lose weight or you'll lose that job.'
One woman came up to me at a lecture and observed that I was much fatter than on television; I think I look better onscreen than in real life. It's the lights.
I have always had a problem with my weight.
I have now exactly the same weight I had when I was 18, 20.
My weight is something that people seem to talk about a lot.
I was doing a show at the National Youth Theatre, playing an old man. Before that I had played fat clowns and I thought, 'If I want to have the career I would like, I am going to have to lose weight.' I was just starting drama school, and found I was moving around a lot. I also started to eat sensibly. The weight just dropped off.
I never weigh myself, but the brutal truth of television is that they don't employ old people or fat people.
