Why do you lose weight? Why are so many people so obsessed with losing weight?
Ordinary people rack their brains to lose weight, not to mention celebrities.
Some celebrities drink water and eat fruit every day to achieve rapid weight loss.
Some celebrities get thinner as they eat, so thin that “skeleton figure” is not an exaggeration.
Despite their efforts, they end up looking worse and worse.
Some even face life-threatening situations during weight loss.
01 Luo Yunxi – “Sickly Thin”
Luo Yunxi is indeed getting thinner, making people wonder if he has gained weight at all?
Since the broadcast of “The Long Night of Jinling,” his figure has always been the focus of attention.
His fans couldn’t sit still, urging him to “eat more, bring your body back” on-site.
The disadvantages of being excessively thin have become apparent. His performance in the new drama is disappointing, a true lesson learned.
In the drama, the male lead’s shoulders are narrower than the female lead’s, and his waist is even thinner.
Already not tall enough, coupled with a sickly thin body, he looks even weaker than the female lead.
Remember, the female lead is Song Yi.
She is also one of the thinnest among all female celebrities.
Where has Luo Yunxi gone with the weight gain?
During the filming of “Yan Xinji,” it was the same period when “The Long Night of Jinling” was airing.
He didn’t even try to gain weight during the peak of the “thin” discussion, ignoring netizens’ advice, one might say he “turned a deaf ear.”
This makes those who were hoping for him to become stronger feel disheartened.
Looking closely, him in shorts is even more frightening.
Can these “chopstick legs” support his entire body?
It seems like he hasn’t listened to what the audience and fans said before.
But all this can be traced back.
In a previous live broadcast, he admitted: “I just like my current body anyway.”
This is completely opposite to what he said about gaining weight on social media.
Times change!
Back in the day, “Runyu” relied on a ethereal appearance to become the “moonlight” of countless viewers.
Defeating the male lead in the drama became the center of discussion.
But the saying “After Luo Yunxi, there’s no more Runyu” has now turned into a joke.
If Luo Yunxi’s thinness is more of a personal preference, then Zhang Ruoyun is completely dedicated to serving the plot.
02 Zhang Ruoyun – “Thin like an old man”
Many people did not expect the handsome and suave “Fan Xian” to have his “little old man” moments.
At an event, his face was dull, and his body slightly bent.
His waist was only 62CM, can you believe it?
Looking at this photo, how old do you think he is this year?
With white hair, his face was rugged like a little old man.
Feeling like his whole body was becoming “square.”
This is completely different from “Fan Daren.”
It is said that this state only appeared when filming “Police Honor.”
At that time, he was very thin, looking like a piece of paper from a distance, as if he would collapse with a gust of wind.
His arms were full of protruding veins, as if bones covered in skin.
From a distance, he looks just like an ordinary person, devoid of any starlight.
Intentionally losing weight for acting, after the role is done, one should eat back what was lost.
The recently debuted Zhang Ruoyun, during his student days, had a more plump face, looking quite youthful.
At that time, he still had some baby fat, with plenty of collagen on his face.
The role “Zhang Xianzong” was during a period of significant rise in his popularity.
In the drama, compared to his student days, he lost some of his youthfulness but exuded more mature charisma.
Regarding extreme thinness, Zhang Ruoyun once responded: “Because of the role requirements for slimming, not to promote body anxiety.”
However, even the handsome Zhang Ruoyun cannot avoid the haggard look brought by sunken facial features.
For us ordinary folks, moderate is best. Excessive thinness does not add to one’s appearance but rather reduces it!
People often say that a person looks better after losing weight, but what if becoming thinner makes them look even more “unattractive”?
03 Du Haitao – “Thinner is Ugly”
Don’t they say that chubby people have potential? Hu Xianxu’s dramatic weight loss made him the heartthrob of many fangirls, but why did Du Haitao look ugly after losing 30 pounds? It got to the point where a netizen candidly remarked:
Encountered Du Haitao, if it weren’t for a second look, I wouldn’t have recognized him.
Losing weight should be a good thing, but it also exposes some new problems.
Not only did he lose weight, but also appeared somewhat bald, with his hairline receding significantly.
Weight loss accentuates facial features.
With small eyes, a flat nose bridge, and barely defined facial features, Du Haitao’s weight loss only reveals more flaws.
In the photos, his nasolabial lines are very prominent, and his eyelids droop.
The overall state of him is very low, devoid of vitality.
“There’s not even cuteness left now, only ugliness.”.
Shen Mengchen is truly a prophet, as she said without error.
He looks at least 20 years older.
We all got to know Du Haitao from “Happy Camp.”
But Du Haitao has quite a few “dark histories.”
Due to excessive excitement upon seeing his idol, he actually knelt in public to a Korean person.
Excitement can be understood, but such behavior is truly unnecessary.
Currently, Du Haitao not only has continuous issues in his love life with Shen Mengchen being gradually exposed, but his career is also stagnant.
However, Xie Na says he is a hidden rich man.
He is not lacking in money, living his life comfortably.
04 Guo Jinan – “Wax Statue-like”
Seeing this name, you may be momentarily puzzled, but upon seeing his face, you will immediately remember him.
He was once acclaimed as the “successor of Leslie Cheung” because of his resemblance to Leslie Cheung.
Also known as the “ever-changing actor” due to his varied roles.
However, the once “everlasting” Guo Jinan lost face due to a particular role.
In 2022, during the promotion of a TV drama, Guo Jinan received criticism for his face looking as if disfigured.
His face appeared frozen, as if a plastic surgery had gone wrong.
But behind this, there is a hidden story.
At that time, Guo Jinan lost 30 pounds for his role as a man imprisoned for over a decade in “White Strongman 2.”
In the drama, he truly attained a skeletal look, resembling a homeless man.
Sometimes, he needed someone’s support even after standing for a while.
After filming, it’s advised to gain back the lost weight; however, due to rapid weight loss, it affected his health and damaged his skin’s elasticity.
When gaining back weight, his face involuntarily stiffened, looking like it was filled in.
Separating flesh and skin, with large eyes, he looked like a “wax figure.”
As a former TVB “King of Actors,” his face had always been resistant to aging.
Being hailed as a “small Leslie Cheung” meant he had some charm, his delicate facial features exuded elegance.
He has always been the “ageless male god” in many people’s hearts.
Whether it was the silly character Ding Changwang in “Stupid Husband, Rascal Husband” or the villain in “Laughing at Wind and Cloud,” his appearance never lost to anyone.
However, he has been through a rough phase in the past two years.
Not only facing appearance issues, but his once strong marriage also ended in divorce.
His current state is truly regrettable.
Not only Guo Jinan is striving hard in his mid-life, but so is our Xiaoming brother.
05 Huang Xiaoming – “Thin to the Point of Palpitations”
“I don’t want you to think, I want to think for myself.”
From this statement, you can sense his assertiveness and “slickness.”
As a former king of popularity, Xiaoming’s good looks have always been unquestionable.
However, as he aged, Huang Xiaoming’s glossiness has increased.
But as he matured into middle age, he changed.
For the drama “Where the Orchids are Placed,” he lost 26 pounds.
Returning to the peak of his looks.
He also kindly shared his secret to losing weight on social media.
Just drinking water every day?
How can the body tolerate that!
At this point, he hasn’t stopped and continues to lose weight.
Upon his reappearance, his eyes were creased with wrinkles, devoid of vitality, and the fatigue and world-weariness on his face could not be hidden by foundation.
During filming, he even had trouble standing still.
He also confessed:
“After losing weight, I had some side effects, my stomach was uncomfortable, and occasionally I experienced palpitations.”
Even on set, the director said:
“Huang Xiaoming would sometimes have sudden discomfort in his heart while filming, closing his eyes tightly and requesting to stop shooting to rest for a few minutes.”
Although such weight loss shows short-term effects, it’s truly harmful to the body!
Everyone must not imitate it.
And Huang Xiaoming emphasized:
“Because of the role requirements, and it’s not done like this every day!”
After divorcing, Huang Xiaoming has put all his focus on his career.
Weight loss and gain for roles have become Huang Xiaoming’s norm.
Good things come to those who wait.
Through the film “Sunshine Club,” where he played the intellectually challenged character Wu You, Huang Xiaoming won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.
This is the reward for his efforts.
06 Zheng Yunlong – “Thinned to a Bald Head”
As a singer, Zheng Yunlong has also pursued acting.
But his good looks are becoming more “shattered.”
With his naturally long and slim face, deliberate weight loss has turned it into a thin, elongated shape.
Looking straight at him, you can see prominent eye bags, a high nose, and thin lips.
Some people even feel that he has changed his attitude.
He used to be melancholic but now appears more gloomy.
He’s practically a real-life version of the “Sanxingdui” relics.
You could say he’s truly “all skin and bones.”
Due to excessive thinness, his facial flaws are fully exposed.
In the drama, his lips protruded severely, and his cheekbones and bald head resembled “Guan Strong” from the animated series.
Even though he was criticized for his appearance, he never minded.
He even took a photo with the “Sanxingdui” relics and said, “I’ve come home.”
This approach actually made more people like him, after all, in this era, there are not many artists who joke about themselves.
But looking back at his early days, he always had shoulder-length hair.
With his melancholic eyes and unique voice, he was once praised by fans as the “melancholic Little Prince.”
Weight loss made him even thinner, unable to put any flesh on his face, ultimately resulting in his current appearance.
Though his intentions were good, one should always prioritize health.
It’s unnecessary to ruin one’s body during weight loss; finding a healthy approach is most important.
Conclusion
Today’s public opinion leans towards thinness as beauty, and actors have taken it to extremes!
True beauty should be healthy and aesthetically pleasing, not pathological like this!
As seen with some actors above, they have been overworking their bodies, going back and forth between thinning and gaining weight for roles.
Through this process, their bodies’ original functions have been damaged, leading to various repercussions.
So, whether in work or weight loss, moderation is key; having a healthy body is most important.
Do you have anyone around you who is trying to lose weight?
