11. Tom Arnold
Tom has lost an incredible 89 pounds of body weight since he stopped eating, in his own words, “like a jerk”. You said it Tom… Arnold was born in Ottumwa, Iowa, where he attended Ottumwa High School, Indian Hills Community College, and the University of Iowa (from 1981 to 1983), studying business administration and writing.
He began doing stand-up comedy when he was 23 and in the early 1980s, had a prop-based comedy routine called “Tom Arnold and the Goldfish Review.” Arnold was first hired as a writer on the television sitcom Roseanne, but after his marriage with Roseanne in real life, he wrote himself into the series.
About his relationship with Roseanne, he had this to say: “She actually had ‘Property of Tom Arnold’ tattooed on her hip, which made me the fourth largest property-owner in California.” The marriage lasted four years and by the time it was over, Tom was already a well-known actor. He has appeared in many films, perhaps most notably True Lies Cradle 2 the Grave and Gardens of the Night.
He decided to lose weight and just be a healthier person, after the birth of his son: “Something inside of me changed,” he said. “I knew I needed to live as long as I could. . . . The moment I saw [my son Jax], I realized he deserves the best.”
