He cites intermittent fasting, a supportive marriage, greater daily activity after quitting Ozempic due to an allergic reaction.

Overview

  • The Blind Side actor, 41, announced the milestone on Oct. 12 with before-and-after photos on Instagram.
  • He reported dropping from a peak of 575 pounds to about 370 pounds, with his Instagram post noting 375 that morning.
  • His approach includes intermittent fasting and increased movement since marrying Margarita in December 2024, a change he says boosted his mental health.
  • He said he tried Ozempic about a year ago for diabetes but stopped after experiencing an allergic reaction.
