Kevin Smith Weight Loss: ‘Clerks’ Director Drops 85 Pounds, Shows Off Dramatic Change


Kevin Smith has been on an incredible weight loss journey, and the Clerks director is now sharing his amazing transformation with fans.

Smith tweeted a picture on Saturday showing his changes over the last seven years. The director posted a side-by-side picture from 2008 and another from this year that shows him 85 pounds lighter.

This isn’t the first time that Kevin Smith has shocked fans with a dramatic change to his appearance. Last October the director took a picture of himself with a completely clean-shaven face, the first time in years he’s been seen without a bit of facial hair.

Smith explained that the look was part of shooting for an upcoming movie.

“Look at this goofy spaz. This is me, beardless, for the #YogaHosers green screen shoot. It’s a Face-Brazilian!”

At the time Kevin Smith also showed a preview of the weight loss he just unveiled. At the time of his clean-shaven picture the director had already dropped 20 pounds by cutting out sugars and processed foods from his diet and by starting to exercise a bit each week.

As Smith told Men’s Health back in February, his workout routine is a very simple one.

“My ‘working out’ is I’ve got this hill outside my house—like, right outside my house, you walk out the door and—boom!—you’re on this hill, so I’ll take my dogs out and see who starts breathing heavy and sweating first. I don’t really exercise. I’m not a ‘fifty reps’ kind of guy. I just walk everyday.”

Smith went on to say that it was a difficult path to losing weight, especially in his position where not many people are willing to be honest about his health.

“It’s literally the reverse of how most people live their lives. I started out heavy and then got heavier and, probably because of my job, I got to be heavy my whole life. If I had another job, probably, people would’ve been so cruel I might’ve tried to lose weight sooner. But in the movie business, your colleagues and your friends and the people who want to hire you, they’re not telling you you’re fat. At least not to your face! They’re, like, ‘Hey, big guy!’ So you start getting comfortable with that idea. “I’m not fat. I’m the big guy! I’m the guy in charge!’

“‘Big guy’ is really just a sort of nice way of saying, ‘You’re fat, a**hole!'”

It seems the new motivation and diet plan are working for Kevin Smith.
