10 celebs who became dangerously overweight (With Pictures)

3. Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando became hugely overweight in his later years due to a lifetime of unhealthy eating habits. The stories about the actor’s legendary overeating are so crazy that they almost aren’t believable. His wife would lock the fridge at night to prevent him from eating and he would take a crowbar to it, break the lock off then take a huge bite of a wheel of cheese just because he could. Then, a separate girlfriend had placed him on a strict diet which he adhered to in front of her so she wouldn’t break up with him. But at night, he would have his friends throw Burger King bags over the fence and he would feast all night – much to the girlfriend’s confusion. He is said to have eaten entire roast chickens on set and once had a private plane fly him champagne and ham in Tahiti because he couldn’t find any on the island. He died from respiratory and heart failure in 2004, which may have been caused by his dangerously heavy frame.
