Fat people are like truffle pigs when it comes to scrounging food. Hence why he could find all those potato chips (seriously, it's literally potato chips).
>Is it asking too much for actor to lose weight for their role?
maybe it could be bit more idiomatic, but incomprehensible, really?
Seems like many people here understood it, proving it wasn't incomprehensible.
Doesn't the fact that they never have to cut their hair also sort of imply the same? Implying seriously that with a couple of peanut butter jars you would maintain that weight for 7 years is laughable. I know this because I've had quite the PB addiction myself. Now I've never been overweight (before you go make that fair assumption) but I can tell you that PB isn't as calorie dense as the writers want you to believe. It's through sheer magic he maintained his weight, almost as if time stood still on that magical island, only for it to go more rapidly for certain child actors in between seasons. The bottom line is that peanut butter starts tasting like chocolate at a certain point. The cheap kind.
>To be fair the show only takes place over like 2 years I think.
100 days.
It's like 100 days from the crash until the oceanic six are rescued.
And they started getting the Dharma supply drops like 30-40 days in.
Hurley was on the island for 100-ish days, a good month of that spent inside the Hatch where he had easy access to junk food. Then he got back home, spent 3-ish years engorging himself at the looney bin only to return to Dharmaville where he no doubt had easy access to food. There wasn’t enough time for Hurley to lose a significant amount of weight.
they justified it in the show by saying he does lose weight, maybe not as much as everyone else but some, you just don't see it because he's so much fatter than everyone else that it's like a fart in a hurricane. someone who is 120lbs and loses 30lbs has lost a third of their whole weight, but someone who is 300lbs and loses 20lbs has lost barely anything
Not that much more though. Like a couple calories per day per pound if you're sedentary. Though moving your body is more of a workout if youre obese and so burns more energy.
Nah. Obese people lose weight more easily and more quickly. The actor quite obviously refused to lose weight so the writers had to write around it and their solution made no sense.
>30 is 1/3 of 120
quik maffs
Anyway fat people need more calories to be at maintenance. If you consume fewer calories than your TDEE, your weight will go down, outside of a few times where you're retaining water. But you don't retain water for two fricking years.
this is something I've thought about a lot with regards to the books
I almost suspect that George is pulling a false narrator thing with Sam where his family will be absolutely gobsmacked by how much of a brick shithouse he turned into at the Wall, but he never realized it until that moment
we'll never see this, of course, but it was interesting to think about
I was hoping that fat woman Kate from This Is Us would have had a clause for the final season to be like the one who would really drop weight and be this huge success story.
She stays as fat as she is and gets fatter by the end. Her husband/divorcee in the show was even dressed up and faked to be FATTER and the bad guy by the shows end.
Reminder that Mac from It's Always Sunny kept fluctuating in weight so much that it was mentioned in the actual show.
Reminder that the Vietkong chick from Bojack Horseman was drawn fatter to depict side affects from her antidepressant meds.
even if he was eating a ton of food, he would rapidly lose weight. Unless he was lounging around all day and people were bringing him food and he only got up to take a shit / piss, he would be losing at least a pound of weight every few days if not more. There weren't any carbs on the island until they discovered the hatch / food drops. They were eating fish, coconuts, fruits gathered, maybe some other sea life they could catch, and whatever was left over from the airplane which would have only lasted a few days at the most.
1st season >Uhh, he did lose a little weight just it'll take a while to notice!
2nd season >Uhh, he snuck snacks from the hatch, but Lizzie helped him quit so you'll see soon!
It's like the writers were just begging the actor to just shed a couple pounds.
I fricking hated his character. He's suppose to be the funny easy going fat dude yet is not funny at all only cringe and gross. I love how they tried to give him a girlfriend who wasnt a giant hambeast. I would probably kill myself if i was stuck on a deserted island with that smelly fat frick.
He didn't lose weight the same way the women on the island didn't grow hair on their faces, armpits and legs and everyone had impeccable hygiene and haircuts
I could do that easy and still survive no probs and be screwing the skinny chick with me every night ,why do these military dudes all crack up like little crybabies whilst the girl is the stronk one after a few missed meals , were they like that in Afghanistan , well fed bullet/IED sponges ?
yeah a lot of those guys that go on there are just LARPing as hardened military bad asses with no actual "survival" experience besides "point the rifle at civilians and protect the arab's oil field" from their tour of duty. The woman always b***h the entire time, walk around useless and "tend to the camp" until they get bored and then tap out
the only remarkable female was this one, who was a FtM troony and went all the way
He was cast explicitly as "the fat guy". I doubt they wanted him to lose weight.
They were stranded on a desert island, where's he getting 5000 calories a day from?
BECAUSE IT'S A FRICKING TEEVEE SHOW. WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE moronS ASKING THIS QUESTION FOR TWENTY. FRICKING. YEARS???????????
>it's fiction so there shouldn't be any commitment to realism whatsoever
>just turn off your brain bro
he was hoarding the dharma food
They were actually stranded on dessert island, common mistake.
underrated
Where do you think some of these background characters kept disappearing to? Tip: Smoke monster, the others, polar bears didnt get em all
The smoke monster was a feeder who secretly fed him every night whilst they were all asleep.
he had a secret stash of food
Starvation mode
just watch the fricking show you moron
everything in explained
eveything
Yeah spent ten years watching that Lost shit show and it turns out they all died in episode 1 , Islands =Purgatory
Fat people are like truffle pigs when it comes to scrounging food. Hence why he could find all those potato chips (seriously, it's literally potato chips).
>hire a fat guy actor
>want him to lose weight
op has the brain the size of a walnut
Is asking you to be more intelligent to much anon?
Learn English
>didn't pluralize "actor"
Did I make other mistakes, or were you seriously triggered by the lack of one letter?
Only actual ESL homosexuals call out someones spelling and language proficiency on fricking Cinemaphile.
other than the entire sentence being incomprehensible?
>Is it asking too much for actor to lose weight for their role?

Yes you piece of shit.

The bottom line is that peanut butter starts tasting like chocolate at a certain point. The cheap kind.
To be fair the show only takes place over like 2 years I think.
But yeah, obviously he would lose some just by moving around all the time. Pigging out on 30 year old chocolate bars wouldn't maintain that weight.
>To be fair the show only takes place over like 2 years I think.
100 days.
It's like 100 days from the crash until the oceanic six are rescued.
And they started getting the Dharma supply drops like 30-40 days in.
Base peanutbutter enjoyed. Sadly I was team peep.
>have to cut their hair also sort of imply the same
??? I seem to recaall kate cutting sawyers hair and also vincent cutting walts hair.
You must've imagined it.
No kate definitely cuts sawyers hair in season 2 or 3
That's some timeline frickery before they stopped pressing the reset button.
...wasn't Vincent the dog?
Exactly

Not how losing weight works.
The fatter you are, the more calories you use, more calories you need to maintain your weight.
Not that much more though. Like a couple calories per day per pound if you're sedentary. Though moving your body is more of a workout if youre obese and so burns more energy.
Nah. Obese people lose weight more easily and more quickly. The actor quite obviously refused to lose weight so the writers had to write around it and their solution made no sense.

Incredible bait
This guy is a worse offender. He spent years at Siberian bootcamp and didn't lose a pound
He actually got fatter as the show went on + soon as he hooked up with Gilly went fat and furious at top speed
this is something I've thought about a lot with regards to the books
I almost suspect that George is pulling a false narrator thing with Sam where his family will be absolutely gobsmacked by how much of a brick shithouse he turned into at the Wall, but he never realized it until that moment
we'll never see this, of course, but it was interesting to think about
>look, for this role you'll be fat but as time goes on, you lose weight
>we are paying you top money, please do this
"NO"
actors and their enablers deserve plagues
this guy lost weight while stranded on the spaceship in a galaxy far far away.
however also his clothes shrunk with his body size.
Well yeah he was sucking on enormous milkbags
>finally stop cucking eli and give him the perfect fiery red headed nerdy girl gf
>kill her off 1 episode later
He was born that way sweetie. Every body is valid.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for people with certain genetics to lose weight
More like it's IMPOSSIBLE for people with a certain lack of willpower to not stuff their gullet with crap.
He was only on the island for 3 months and was getting regular dharma drops within 4 weeks
are hired to play themselves
he thinks daniel day lewis and the rock have the same job
actually earl, it's my turn to drive the tans am
MY EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY OF THE TRAMPL-...
based dude
I have gone the wrong way like that in my younger life as doorman , now fatty lol
I was hoping that fat woman Kate from This Is Us would have had a clause for the final season to be like the one who would really drop weight and be this huge success story.
She stays as fat as she is and gets fatter by the end. Her husband/divorcee in the show was even dressed up and faked to be FATTER and the bad guy by the shows end.
Pathetic.
Reminder that Mac from It's Always Sunny kept fluctuating in weight so much that it was mentioned in the actual show.
Reminder that the Vietkong chick from Bojack Horseman was drawn fatter to depict side affects from her antidepressant meds.
Some people don't try and some directors do try.
>that it was mentioned in the actual show
Well that's because they're their own writers and it was a plot in several of those episodes.
What I don't get is, if they were dead the whole time, why did Hurley hafto stay fat? Seems like a pretty shitty afterlife
I miss the tough fat guy trope. Apparently only women are allowed to be fat in current year.
>hire fat actor, tell him to lose weight
>he shows up so much fatter that he can't even be properly costumed
even if he was eating a ton of food, he would rapidly lose weight. Unless he was lounging around all day and people were bringing him food and he only got up to take a shit / piss, he would be losing at least a pound of weight every few days if not more. There weren't any carbs on the island until they discovered the hatch / food drops. They were eating fish, coconuts, fruits gathered, maybe some other sea life they could catch, and whatever was left over from the airplane which would have only lasted a few days at the most.
WAAAY back on survivor there was some fat homosexual that lost a shitload of weight on the show. Richard something?
he could have scavenged some uranium off the planes rudder and sucked on it like a tootsie pop keeping his calorie input high
Wasn't he on the island for thousands of years. Why was he still fat
Hollywood needs fat guys
>rewatch Lost
>season 2
>it starts with one scene stretched over 5 episodes with replays and flashbacks of multiple characters
Never noticed how much of a hackjob some of this show was
Wasn't the original concept for his character that he would slowly lose weight? I thought I remember that from the first season
1st season
>Uhh, he did lose a little weight just it'll take a while to notice!
2nd season
>Uhh, he snuck snacks from the hatch, but Lizzie helped him quit so you'll see soon!
It's like the writers were just begging the actor to just shed a couple pounds.
I am more curious how he didn't lose weight on that island after all of his time there. He should've left at least half as fat. Makes no sense.
I fricking hated his character. He's suppose to be the funny easy going fat dude yet is not funny at all only cringe and gross. I love how they tried to give him a girlfriend who wasnt a giant hambeast. I would probably kill myself if i was stuck on a deserted island with that smelly fat frick.
Eh, she was mentally ill.
He didn't lose weight the same way the women on the island didn't grow hair on their faces, armpits and legs and everyone had impeccable hygiene and haircuts
If Christian Bales can why not
Fat frick too lazy to be assed to actually get in his role.
think I need to do that nakiieds and afraid lol
Its pretty kino.
I could do that easy and still survive no probs and be screwing the skinny chick with me every night ,why do these military dudes all crack up like little crybabies whilst the girl is the stronk one after a few missed meals , were they like that in Afghanistan , well fed bullet/IED sponges ?

Respect to her/him
