Kathy Bates Has Candid Conversation about Weight Loss Journey after Diabetes Diagnosis

[@Zenobiadream]

There’s something about Kathy bates that completely pulls you in. She has this incredible magnetic vibe where you can’t help but notice her, even if she’s on screen for 5 seconds. I think she’s probably one of the most remarkable actresses in Hollywood. Humble and down to earth.

[@lakep7798]

I agree! Seems like she’s so warm, sincere, and personable. Like Drew!

[@mazzystarr7078]

I rewatched Six Feet Under recently and she steals the show. You forget how magnetic she is.

[@jmbrinck]

Right there with you. Well said!

[@claudial1240]

💯 I felt this ever since seeing her in Titanic and every movie from then on.

[@DeKalbGal]

It's her unlimited talent

[@Deborah4Antiques]

I love Kathy Bates no matter what she looks like. I just want her to be well and live a very long life.

Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes changed how I looked at aging. She was just brilliant as was Jessica Tandy who was 82 at the time.

I am so very happy for Kathy Bates that she is at a more healthier weight but also want to say she is/was amazing at all of her weights and I think it's important to note.

[@jamesbrickerzz]

I suggest reading a book Plate of Health by Ethan Parker if you want to know how to lose weight. Just follow everything writer suggests in there, it's one of the best reads I had in a while.

[@rfrances2144]

I cannot find his book. Where did you purchase it? Ty

[@nikkicat254]

Been a huge fan of Kathy Bates since Dolores Claiborne, even though I had seen her in Misery before, it was the movie Dolores Claiborne that got me to notice her more, and from then on I would watch anything she was in. I am glad that she is taking better care of herself now, so she can live longer, she seems like a genuinely nice person.

[@markvanderhorst2473]

That’s a great clip. Congrats to Drew, and Kathy.

Dang, that is very powerful. Meeting of the minds and hearts.

[@SuthrnGent-t1c]

Love Kathy Bates. One of my favorites. She looks amazing if a bit unrecognizable. My favorite movie with her is Water Boy. She really cracked me up with that Cajun accent. So much respect to her for losing so much weight, not that I ever really thought that she might need to. That is an almost impossible thing to do without chemical intervention. So much respect to those who can do this. I hope she lives to be 200.

[@leticiapashos4566]

She looks wonderful, love her hair

[@tammyscott9664]

Love hearing these stories. Kathy Bates is right about willpower…that is fleeting. I use the term dedication…I am dedicated to being healthy and remain so after 50 lbs lost…30 more to go. And if it takes me a year or two I’m perfectly fine with that! Dr. Jason Fung saved my life! Btw, no ozempic type meds for me…I got horrible side effects that ruined my quality of life…

She was always beautiful with weight and off. Kathy Bates, I agree like many here, she is magnetic. I hope she knows if she gains a bit more weight, she is still so beautiful. Too many Hollywood stars have so much pressure to lose weight, especially women and young girls.
