6. Perez Hilton
For a long period of time, the famous gossip columnist struggled with his own weight. Hilton’s career was built on his ability to comment on other people’s looks and lifestyles. It is therefore no surprise that Hilton’s own appearance became a hot topic on social media.
Perez changed his lifestyle as soon as he felt the pressure. By eating healthily and exercising regularly, he lost 50 pounds. He took a full year to make sure that no one ever made fun of him again.
