The actor claims Jim Caviezel told him Suplee’s life was “not emulating Jesus Christ” – and has gained and lost “close to 1,000 pounds” throughout his life (via toofab)
In the first episode, which dropped this week, Suplee, 43, revealed just how extreme his up and down weight loss journey has actually been. "I've gained and lost probably close to 1000 pounds at this point and have done all the diets," he explained -- adding that, "outside of acting, my two favorite things to do are diet and eat."
A turning point for the actor came in the early 2000s, after a random encounter with "The Passion of the Christ" star Jim Caviezel on an airplane. Already familiar with each other because of a Robin Hood movie they were both supposed to be in that never got off the ground, Caviezel approached him in first class.
"Nobody ever talked to me like that, nobody ever said, 'Look at yourself, you're going to f--king hell. You don't care about yourself at all, you're a mess,'" he continued. "He wasn't mean, but it was a thing I had not experienced. I remember landing and going, 'That was an awful experience,' what am I gonna do, fight Jim Caviezel? He didn't call me a fat ass or anything.
Through the years, Suplee says he has tried every diet imaginable -- including the Blood Type Diet, South Beach, Atkins, Zone, Keto and intermittent fasting. "I lost a shit load of weight, I went from 530 to, at my lowest, 220," he said, adding that he was "f--king thin, skull and bones thin" at one point.
