Amy Schumer, Jelly Roll & More Celeb Transformations of 2025

by

A lot can change in a year.

2025 brought both ups and downs for celebrities, with many experiencing personal changes alongside physical ones. For example, Amy Schumer began a weight loss journey after receiving a diagnosis of Cushing syndrome last year – a condition caused by high cortisol levels in the body.

Okay, so she posted on Instagram December 2nd, and it totally blew me away. She didn’t just lose the 30 pounds everyone was talking about – it was FIFTY! And it wasn’t about, like, trying to look amazing, though she does admit it feels good for a little while. No, she said she did it to survive. It’s just…so powerful, you know? It really hits differently when she puts it like that.

She explained that she had a serious medical condition causing significant facial swelling, and it could have been life-threatening. She said that after people online noticed her puffy face in 2024, she went to the doctor, and thankfully, the condition has now been resolved.

Jelly Roll has been focusing on his health and has made significant progress. He revealed on Big Night AHT in April that he’s lost a lot of weight, going from 540 pounds to 357 pounds recently.

The singer of “Son of a Sinner” also decided to switch up his look, shaving off his beard after ten years.

He revealed on Instagram last November that he initially grew a beard to hide his weight gain. He said it was simply ‘easier to cover up what was happening’ with his appearance.

Jason Momoa also shaved for a role – specifically, to play Duncan Idaho in the upcoming Dune: Part Three. However, unlike Jelly Roll, Momoa didn’t completely get rid of his facial hair.

“Goddammit,” the Aquaman actor joked while shaving his face in a July Instagram video. “I hate it.”

Lots of celebrities experimented with their hair color this year! Ariana Grande and Ariana Madix both switched to brunette, and Kate Middleton opted for a lighter shade of brown.

I’ve been so inspired by Amy’s journey lately! She’s lost an incredible 50 pounds, but it’s not about vanity for her. As she shared on Instagram a while back, it wasn’t about trying to look good – although she admits feeling good is a nice bonus! She did it because she needed to, for her own well-being and to truly thrive.

I was seriously ill with a condition that causes severe swelling and can be fatal, but it was detected early thanks to online attention, and I’ve since recovered,” she explained, responding to criticism about her appearance. “I apologize if my weight loss bothers anyone.

The star of 1000-Lb. Sisters, who has lost more than 500 pounds over several years, recently had another change – she got a dental implant to fill a gap in her upper teeth this summer.

She explained on the Creative Chaos podcast in August that they had to use cement instead of glue because the adhesive wasn’t strong enough. She described the work as incredibly difficult, saying it was like ‘pulling teeth’.

The Vanderpump Rules alum added, “I was taking thirst traps in the salon, I was so thrilled.

In December, the husband from Sister Wives shared that he had dental veneers applied by Dr. James Heaton at The Smile Studio in Arizona.
