[Blind Gossip] Lots of people have been wondering why this male star – who is on the downside of his career – has lost a dramatic amount of weight.
He was not heavy to begin with, so why is he now even thinner? Cancer? C*caine?
Nope. Dope. A minimum of twice a day.

[Optional] Do you think he will be able to get clean?
mattaharpy says
Dan Stevens. Downside = post Downton Abbey. Almost unrecognisable.
ShootingStar78 says
I am thinking Colin Firth. (Hope not though)
He is looking extremely thin and really didn’t need to loose any. It’s also making him look aged.
The picture reminds me of Bridget Jones!!!
CrankyCornbread says
Wow, definitely Billy Bob Thornton. He looked great when he starred in Fargo’s 2nd season not long ago. Fast forward to a recent photo of him in USA Today (Oct 5), and he’s looks like like death itself. Ugh… It’s so sad.
JipJip says
Tom Hanks
GretaGuesses says
I hope it’s not Liam Neeson. His son had problems with drugs, and Liam spoke out against using drugs. I read that he started drinking more after his wife died, but he was working to cut down on the alcohol.
Maybe this is about Billy Bob Thornton, as others suggested. I hope not, because I love him as an actor, and even love his crazy!
Has Johnny Depp been losing weight? It’s hard to guess what actors are on the downside of their careers because men last longer in the biz than women.
lbliss77 says
The scale is in kilograms? Could be Canadian, British or Australian??
ladybugjones says
Canadian is lbs, not kg
Bamadex says
I’m going a different direction and saying Neil Patrick Harris. He was recently on a pilot for a cooking show for his husband and looked very aged and frail and sickly.
I was thinking illness but dope is a possibility, too.
princesszeezo says
Liam Neeson just confirmed his weight loss was for the new scorcese film…but he looks sickly
amagod121 says
Liam Neesen? Maybe his wife’s passing has affected him so much that he’s needed dope to cope, or so he thinks.
mermaidh2 says
Billy Bob. He was no stranger to dope in his Angie days. I saw him doing an interview about his new Netflix show and he looks like absolute hell.
Laughing1 says
Yup, this.
goatherder says
Beat me to it. I believe this is about Billy Bob.
clareb30 says
Mickey rourke pictured recently looking thinner
Dirty Squirrel says
Please tell me this is not Colin Firth. I’m guessing it’s someone British, as the weight on the scale is in kilograms.
rose15 says
Justin Bieber has been looking a lot pale and skinny recently and going on rants
bhakti says
Whoa I just googled Liam Neeson after reading the other answers and he looks like the walking dead. Wow I hope this isn’t about him
TeaDrinker says
Colin Kaepernick is my guess. People have been noticing his surprising weight loss recently.
John Goodman doesn’t fit the blind, “He was not heavy to begin with, so why is he now even thinner? ” John has always been overweight.
Lebowski says
Kaep switched to a Vegan diet and cant keep weight on – doubt it is about him.
angelbratt says
Robert downer jr?
Hope if it’s him he can get cleannagain
angelbratt says
Robert Downey, jr. Hope I’m wrong
artistsnow says
You are wrong, so no worries.
No one would call RWJ on the DOWNSIDE of his career.
angelbratt says
Thank you, I’d much rather be wrong!
Veralynn says
Star – Liam Neeson
I hope he can get clean.
Khadafi says
Robert Pattinson
gutterstars says
Robert Pattinson
Supppp says
It’s not Pattinson. The clue in the blind is the actor is on the “downside” of his career. That means he’s over 40 or 50, not just turned 30. Pattinson’s on the upswing and just quit smoking again, is seen coming out of the gym all the time. He’s not on drugs. It’s probably Liam Nieson or Jim Carrey.
Lebowski says
McConaughey?
Christian Bale?
NoOne says
McC is definitely NOT on the downside of his career. The opposite, if anything.
kermit1969 says
Liam Neeson.
erininla35 says
Not sure who this is but I have to believe that “dope” is a clue. Not even sure what “dope” means in this context as it can be used to refer to harder drugs, or bud (for someone that doesn’t smoke bud).
lovefifteen says
Dope is heroin in this context.
Goodgrief says
Liam Neeson, if he went to a real rehab, he probably could get clean. But I hope it is not him.
lovefifteen says
I think Liam is the best guess, too, since he was never heavy whereas Val Kilmer got huge for a while there.
sallygirl says
I thought his weight loss a few months back was for a movie roll?
boyjack4 says
Liam Neeson
blinkandyoumight says
VAL KILMER
delray74 says
This makes no sense. Dope makes you gain weight via munchies.
jeanmarieok says
Dope is heroin, not weed.
chicagogirl says
Val Kilmer? He was in a movie about the the Wonderland murders and had or has an illness speculated to be cancer.
spunkie brewster says
^this 🙁
bhakti says
He’s been battling throat cancer. I believe he is a Jehovah’s Witness or Church of Science I’m unsure which faith he practices, but his religion didn’t allow him to get treatment if I remember correctly. I don’t think this blind is about him
jbj2016 says
Val got huge at one point, so I don’t think they would say he wasn’t heavy before. That said, for years I was convinced that he was a pillhead.
janewhere12 says
I’m guessing Cheyenne Jackson. I was shocked seeing him on American Horror Story last night! He used to be muscular and hot! He looked sickly skinny.
CatInTheHat says
Jim Carrey?
I don’t think so just because it’s so hard to kick and he hasn’t been able to before.
JohnnyDerpp says
I would say Jude law if it were not for young Pope.
Mel Gibson would fit.
But I think it’s Russel Crowe. He’s been seen out hitting it a little hard.
Whomever reads this. Dope is referring to any drug that needs precursor chemicals to make. Weed is not dope even though it’s slang. Dope is coke, heroin, and meth. It depends on the area you live in as slang is location based. In NY dope is heroin. Smack. Want to smoke some dope is about the only time it refers to weed.
You must…
hvp5ss says
I don’t know who this is, but they are not American. Clue being “70” on the scale. 70 kg = 154 lb. So I’m guessing they are tall/ large framed for 154 lb to be alarming.
ksamuelson1017 says
Star: Corey Feldman
I Am PunkA says
John Goodman.
And better pot than coke or heroine or meth.
spunkie brewster says
Dope is also slang for heroin (which is what I think the blind is referring to). You’re more likely to lose weight on heroin than pot. Pot gives you the munchies, so more people gain weight on it than lose.
TheRevanchist says
That’s not accurate, only certain strains of weed make you hungry (mostly Indicas). I know this because I’m an anorexic stoner. It he’s smoking sativas, totally possible to loss weight.
And weed has historically been called “dope” as well, but yeah not in a couple of decades.
Squeezes99 says
You mean smoking dope doesn’t mean pot anymore? Geez, I’m getting old.
boyzmom says
It means heroin in this blind. The related blind is about Phillip Seymour Hoffman dying from a heroin overdose.
OleWyzOne says
I don’t know this to be true. I have never known a chronic pot user to gain weight. I think it has to do with it helping regulate blood and speed up metabolism. Anyone I know gets skinny and dusty looking.
flower says
I thought of John Goodman, too, but he’s very busy. I’m not sure I’d consider him “on the downside of his career”.
SouthJerseyGirl says
I’m seeing John Goodman on Broadway this weekend in The Front Page. I don’t think he would have the stamina (or memory) to do 8 shows a week if he was heavily into drugs.
Crisesaverted says
Plus the clue said he wasn’t heavy to begin with. Goodman got a little heavy for a few years.
jasper says
NOPE! John has been public about going sober, his diet, and physical regimen, and a friend who met him again this summer at an event never mentioned anything unusual about his mannerisms, but did his grip.
KCeagle says
Color me….clueless dahling. Don’t know this one. BG newbie blues. : (
Wanted to give a shout out to you ACE.. you rock, and this site rules! Been backtracking on previous items and can’t seem to put my phone down doing my “research” haha. But to put a guess on this B.I. put into cyberland…Matthew Perry? Kinda deja vu if this is him.
flower says
Matthew Perry was my first thought. But if he’s using, wouldn’t it be something stronger and done more frequently?
I can’t seem to pick up any clues. 🙁
JohnnyDerpp says
Heavy users with all the dope in the world will prefer two huge shots over many smalle ones. Twice a day means he’s looking for a nod. Using more would alsoake him think he’s got a problem. Most addicts reason with themselves. “Oh it’s only twice a day it could be worse.”
darlacc says
Don’t have a guess, but those are some ugly man feet in the pic ? LOL
spaceship says
LOL
tellmemore says
Yes! I thought the same thing!
tamelhunt says
I absolutely agree!

Chris Brown

I second this.
