Rosie O’Donnell Shows Off Weight Loss Transformation on Red Carpet

by

Rosie O’Donnell is giving the world a view of her body transformation. 

Four months following her public account of her weight loss experience with the drug Mounjaro, a GLP-1 medication for Type 2 diabetes, the ex-cohost of The View unveiled her recent progress by gracing the red carpet at the premiere of Burlesque: The Musical in London.

For the July 22 event, Rosie accentuated her trimmed silhouette by donning fitted graffiti-patterned trousers and a stylish black t-shirt. To finish off her look, the 63-year-old added an oversized blazer made of twill fabric with “New York” inscribed on it. She accessorized with black boots and matching reading glasses for a chic touch.

Starting from the year 2022, Rosie embarked on a weight loss journey, with her physician prescribing her Mounjaro as a part of this change. Since then, she has been implementing significant adjustments in her eating habits.

During the holiday season of Christmas 2023, Rosie shared on TikTok that she had given up consuming anything but water. Specifically, she reduced her daily intake of Diet Cokes from five to six down to zero. Now, she only drinks water and is making a conscious effort to consume less sugar.

She recently disclosed that the injectable medication has been instrumental in sustaining the changes she made to her lifestyle, particularly by encouraging more physical activity. To quote her, “My desire to eat has noticeably reduced—I believe it’s due to the medication.

One unexpected factor that aided Rosie in losing weight was her relocation to Ireland with her 12-year-old son Clay, whom she co-parents with Michelle Rounds, in January 2025.

In a TikTok video posted on March 20th, the actress – who is mother to Parker (30), Chelsea (27), Blake (25), and Vivienne (22) – mentioned that she’s shed some pounds in her new home. She attributed this weight loss to continued use of Ozempic (Mounjaro) for managing her diabetes, as one of its side effects is weight reduction.

In fact, Rosie noted that she had to go shopping in Dublin for pants that “fit better.”

She confided that she has struggled with her weight for some time, and now, finding herself in a size large rather than an XL or 2XL, she finds it astonishing.

Tammy Slaton, who is famously known from the TLC show “1,000-Lb. Sisters“, aspired not to always be defined by that role.

In a recent episode of her show from April 2025, the 38-year-old shared, “I’ve lost approximately 500 pounds and currently weigh around 238.” Previously, she had weighed over 700 pounds at her heaviest.

In 2022, she had weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery). Her doctor commended this decision as being appropriate for her.

In an interview with People in October 2024, Dr. Eric Smith praised Tammy for consistently proving her commitment to adopting sustainable lifestyle modifications to fully capitalize on the advantages of her surgery. He underscored the significance of making minor, daily alterations to maintain her progress and secure long-term achievements. It’s evident that she is deeply dedicated to her health transformation.

It seems as if every time Jelly Roll hits a red carpet, he’s down a sizable slice of weight.

In an interview with Pat McAfee on his Big Night Aht live show in April 2025, the singer formerly known as Jason DeFord shared that he weighed 540 pounds at one point but was down to 357 pounds this morning. He’s excitedly planning to shed another 100 pounds and soon embark on a skydiving adventure with his wife in Sweden!

The artist, standing at 6-feet-1, openly acknowledged the necessity of redefining his connection with food in order to achieve his goals. As he shared during an episode of On Purpose With Jay Shetty on October 2024, “I’ve consistently maintained that obesity is closely tied to mental well-being.” He went on to say, “It’s not as simple as telling someone to eat less and exercise more. I wish I could view food in that way.

The weight, as he put it, was still a formidable “mountain” ahead of him, but Jelly Roll observed that the changes he’d made to his lifestyle were proving effective.

He mentioned that he is fully committed to his learning process. He’s making an effort to take it seriously, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water, taking cold showers for focus, eating healthily, and overall, doing well.

Al Roker wasn’t kidding around with the title of his cookbook Recipes to Live By.

As someone who’s successfully shed 100 pounds after a tough battle, I now prioritize my health by aiming for at least 10,000 steps every day. I also pay close attention to my diet and make sure to squeeze in some form of physical activity each day.

In an interview with People in June 2025, he shared his belief: ‘A little is always better than none.’ He suggested that while some might aim for marathons or weight-lifting competitions, the majority of us simply seek a level of fitness that enhances our daily lives.

In 2002, Roker decided to start his health transformation with a gastric bypass operation. However, he made it clear that there’s no quick fix or miraculous solution, as he put it, “No shortcut exists.

Surgery is “not the end,” he advised. “You’re still going to have to put in the work.” 

Previously recognized for his “tush push,” former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has lately been displaying his well-toned physique instead.

During his 13-year career in the NFL, the athlete wasn’t overweight, but he has lost approximately 25 pounds since then. He revealed this during the 2025 Truist Championship pro-am golf tournament in Philly, stating that he now weighs around 270 pounds.

In my personal perspective, aiming for a physique between 250 and 260 pounds seems to resonate with me as a way to maintain my current impressive figure without striving for a six-pack. As I expressed to GQ in June 2024, I intend to preserve some of that imposing stature.

The key priority for a father of four daughters, married to Kylie Kelce, was ensuring he could match their energy levels and keep up with them.

After tipping the scales at 277, he expressed relief, saying, “I’m already feeling better in my back.” He also mentioned an improvement in his knees. Hoping to enhance this further, he added, “Losing another 20 pounds might make me even more agile when playing with my kids.

For Rosie O’Donnell, it wasn’t simply a matter of changing surroundings when her family moved from the United States to Ireland; rather, the move itself had a significant impact.

She revealed on TikTok in March 2025 that she has shed more pounds. She’s been taking Mounjaro for her diabetes, and a side effect of this medication is weight loss.

Previously on “View,” the co-host had recently gone shopping for more tailored outfits in Dublin. She mentioned, “I’m one of those people who have always struggled with weight, and now that I’ve moved up to a large size instead of an XL or 2XL, it still surprises me.

In the year 2022, Jazz Jennings began a personal journey focusing on diet and fitness. Two years later, she shared on Instagram, “I’ve finally started caring for myself after neglecting my health for so long. My eating habits were a real problem, but I am incredibly proud of the weight loss I’ve achieved. The confidence I feel now just shines through!

By August 2024, the beloved star of “I Am Jazz” announced that she had shed nearly 100 pounds and expressed immense pride in her achievements.

It turns out Christopher Schwarzenegger is a chip off the ol’ muscly block.

Among Arnold Schwarzenegger and his ex-wife Maria Shriver’s four shared children, the youngest previously kept a low profile as Arnold shed 30 pounds. However, he has now resumed his active lifestyle.

He shared during the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in May 2025 that it wasn’t something that happened quickly, but required a lot of attempts and mistakes. He mentioned that eliminating bread from his diet had a significant impact. Even now, when he compares his past and present photos, he doesn’t feel like he’s fully transformed yet.

Meanwhile, Christopher did not let a certain seven-time Mr. Olympia in on his plan.

Arnold shared with The Times in June 2025 that he never directly addressed his son about his weight issues. Instead, they focused on incorporating healthier food options and encouraging gym activities. To their surprise, his son took the initiative to lose weight. Arnold expressed pride in his son’s self-discipline and self-motivation, stating that he believed this change would eventually come from within, and it did.

Chrissy Metz prefers not to run except when fleeing, she joked, but she’s a strong advocate for weight lifting, and exercising is one of the routines that led to her shedding an impressive 100 pounds.

The actor from “This Is Us” shared with DailyMail.com in April 2025, “I aim to grow older gracefully and stay strong. That’s what drives me in all aspects.

To Metz, aging gracefully means “staying strong and flexible,” so she tries to be active every day.

In the ’90s, when John Goodman appeared on Roseanne, his large and cuddly persona was an integral part of his character. At one point, he admitted to weighing close to 400 pounds during an interview with David Letterman in 2010. However, by the time The Conners premiered in 2018, John Goodman’s character, Dan Conner, had undergone some changes in his lifestyle.

In 2007, Goodman took the initial stride towards improving his physical well-being by giving up alcohol consumption. Among his preferred pastimes were engaging in boxing matches and taking walks with his beloved canines.

In 2010, he shared with People magazine that he was perspiring quite a bit, but he wasn’t feeling overly stressed. He revealed that he had managed to shed approximately 100 pounds by exercising six days a week and eliminating sugar from his meals.

Overall, the 6-foot-2 actor has lost about 200 pounds since he was at his peak weight.

In 2016, Goodman shared with ABC News that he felt exhausted and fed up with seeing his own reflection. He explained, “It’s like shaving in front of a mirror, but you don’t feel like looking at yourself anymore. It can become hazardous.

Oprah Winfrey has been sharing the highs and lows of her weight loss journey for decades.

From wearing skinny jeans and pushing a cart with 67 pounds of lost weight to impress the audience on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1988, to investing in WeightWatchers in 2015, she has consistently kept the discussion about weight loss and wellness alive through her platform.

In March 2024, during a special episode titled “Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution” on Oprah’s show, she disclosed that in addition to consuming smaller meals and regular exercise, she was also using medication to aid in maintaining her weight.

“It’s not just one thing,” she said of her secret to staying fit, “it’s multiple things.”

In my perspective as a lifestyle expert, my primary objective with this unique approach is to gradually eradicate the negative connotations surrounding weight, such as guilt and embarrassment. I aim to discourage the practice of judging others based on their weight or their methods for managing it, whether they choose to lose weight or not. Most significantly, I strive to help individuals, including myself, overcome self-shaming regarding our bodies and weight.

Lizzo simply wanted to feel better from head to toe.

In a May 2023 TikTok post, the ‘Good as Hell’ singer shared that she began working out primarily for mental health benefits. She wanted to achieve a balanced mental state, avoid feelings of shame and disgust when looking in the mirror, and instead, cultivate self-acceptance. However, she emphasized that exercise has been instrumental in changing her perspective, rather than transforming her physical appearance.

In a TikTok video posted in January 2025, she openly admitted that she was embarking on a purposeful weight-loss process. Her aim was just to become the most optimal version of herself.

At the conclusion of my weight loss process, I won’t be categorized as slim by any stretch of the imagination. According to BMI standards and some online critics, I will still be classified as morbidly obese. However, I will find contentment within myself.

Immediately afterward, the video shifted focus to Lizzo joyfully proclaiming, “I’m happy!” as she proudly displayed a screen indicating that her body fat had decreased by 16% and she had reduced her Body Mass Index (BMI) by 10.5 points.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, allow me to underscore the power of self-determination. Remember, there’s nothing you can’t achieve once you’ve made up your mind. So, now seems like the perfect moment to envision and pursue fresh objectives.
