10 celebrities who were once the “chubby kid” (With Pictures)

9. Russell Brand

Russell Brand is known today for his trademark skinny jeans, his comedic flair, his failed marriage toKaty Perry and perhaps his wild hair and crazy attire, but what people don’t realize is he was once the chubby kid. Claiming he wasn’t obese, but “chubby” Brand has admitted that he had a very deep struggle with his weight throughout his childhood, even making himself sick in order to lose or keep weight off. In order to lose weight quickly, Brand apparently turned to bulimia. Today he maintains his slim physique by practicing yoga, a much healthier and safer alternative to lose weight.
