5. Jorge Garcia
Jorge Garcia is best known for starring on the hit television series Lost. He is immediately recognizable due to his weight – he tips the scale at just over 400 pounds. While he has said that breaking into Hollywood took especially long, he has enjoyed quite a bit of success due to his talent and his unique look. However, Garcia’s friends are concerned that his obesity will harm him in the long run and could cause a pre-mature death. Doctors have told him that he is at risk of developing type 2 Diabetes and that a heart attack due to heart disease may be imminent if he keeps up his unhealthy eating habits. Garcia also has the option of having gastic bypass surgery to change the way his intestines process food and make him feel full from smaller amounts of calories.
