You didn’t see it coming! One day you flick on your television or go to a movie and you see it – they’ve completely changed!
This is the sort of thing that really gets people in the fitness industry turning heads. When a an unsuspected transformati0n takes place, turning a celebrity that is an otherwise normal specimen into someone who could easily show off a six pack & a set buff guns on the front cover of Men’s Fitness.
With some before and afters and a little info, here are a few famous faces gone buff, that the public didn’t see coming. Most of these happened some time ago, but are still interesting nonetheless. Check them out!
Dave Chappelle
Everyone remembers Dave Chappelle from the self named ‘Chappelle Show’ as well some other appearances as the skinny but hilarious comedian. After he left his show, Chappelle went and did some soul searching, and surprisingly showed up buff one day! As one of my favourite comedians, I hope he keeps it up!

Carrot Top
The skinny king of prop comedy, Carrot top is an energetic performer. Well he’s hit the weights, and not just bulked up but is also completely shredded! His current physique is a bit of conversation point these days – a completely out of the blue transformation.
Chris Hemsworth
Chris has always been in shape, he’s shown up in a few big shows and movies, but once Thor hit the screens not long ago people saw just how much mass the Aussie has managed add to his frame. One of the biggest celebrity bulk ups I’ve seen!
Jack Osbourne
The formerly Chubby son of rock star Ozzy Osbourne turned heads with his impressive effort to drop a tonne of weight. Jack accomplished this by flying to thailand and hitting some pads at one of the reputable Muay Thai clubs. That kind of high intensity sport is a definite way to make a difference!
Ryan Reynolds
Always a skinny guy in hilarious roles, Ryan Reynolds changed the path of his career when he signed to play King in Blade Trinity, a role that saw him buff up into the ‘fitness cover model-esque’ looking guy he is today.
Taylor Lauthner
From skinny kid to buff kid! When the second Twilight film came out, so did Taylor with a set of guns, a ripped midsection and a pretty solid physique. He’s not looking back either!
Jake Gyllenhaalbef
Another skinny guy gone buff. Filming for Prince of Persia Jake needed to get shredded and add a little mass. A feat the apparently wasn’t very easy – good on him for puttin’ it in. Lookin’ good.
Dr Dre
Dr Dre wasn’t known for an imposing physique. When he appeared at the VMA’s a few years ago looking crazily buff, people talked! This is one of the bigger bulk ups, definitely a change for the better.
