Jesse Plemons says his life has changed drastically since incorporating intermittent fasting into his everyday routine, namely in the way of losing 50 pounds since starting his health journey. Talking with ET's Rachel Smith on Thursday from the premiere of his new film, Kinds of Kindness , the 36-year-old actor expanded on a recent interview he did, in which he joked about how people think he took Ozempic to lose weight. However, his real secret weapon is the eating method that sees a person fasting for a set amount of hours each day.
"Well, I'm not lugging 50 more pounds around," he quipped of how his life has changed since deciding to give intermittent fasting a try. Of the major drop in pounds, he said it happened "over the course of a year and a half or so." The Game Night actor -- who was joined by his wife of two years, Kirsten Dunst -- said that aside from the physical changes that caught the attention of fans, his overall well-being has improved as well.
Dunst, 42, and Plemons share two sons, Ennis, 6, and James, 3, which was another big reason he wanted to change his physical health. "I have much more energy [now] and, like I've said, I've got young kids, so I got to keep up with them," Plemons told ET. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times in mid-June, the actor shared that while many people have assumed he took Ozempic or another weight loss or anti-obesity drug of the like, it was good old-fashioned word of mouth and trial-and-error approaches that worked for.
