"What's Eating Gilbert Grape" Actress Losses 250 lbs, Wants to Act Again

Posted: August 10th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Whats Eating Gilbert Grape Actress Losses 250 lbs, Wants to Act AgainSubmit Comment
In the 1993 movie "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," Darlene Cates played Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio's morbidly obese mother Bonnie, who hasn't left the house in years while dealing with depression following her husband's suicide.

Now, twenty years later, 64-year-old Cates has gone from 575 lbs to 331 (pictured, before/after) and is ready to get back to acting. "I can do moms real well," she said. "I'm not opposed to doing science fiction or comedy, but there has to be respect. I refuse to be the joke, the fat woman joke, in any movie. I've turned down roles."

Cates is interested in taking one or two roles. But first, she'll have to recover from a series of health scares and four surgeries that kept her in hospitals for almost 11 months, until last November. For now, she remains housebound, but has plans to lose another 100 lbs.

Apparently, she did.. (ate Gilbert Grape), and "What's" is more appropriate than "Who's" ...

Now here's a fine example to follow JB!! Enjoy your tuna salad.


575 lbs = 260 Kg!!! You might as well being an attraction in Seaworld. Bloody Hell, how do you even get to that state?

"Cates is interested in taking one or two roles."

I think they misspelled 'roles'.

Anyway, shouldn't be a problem. I hear they need a crowd scene for the next Transformers film.

"actress loses 250pounds"

BJ just found it between his third and fourth chin

'... has gone from 575 lbs to 331 (pounds).' Move over Victor Secret!

So which if the 'before' and which is the 'after' pic?

She refuses to be the fat woman joke. Too late.

When she sits around the house. She sits AROUND the house!

As well as tents, I didn't know Coleman made ladies fashion.

Looks like JB's whoring mother didn't die from AIDS after all. Looks like Darlene ATE her!

'I can do moms real well' - Lesbo Alert!!!

What were the 4 surgeries that gave her health scares? The amputation of her legs and arms? Some chicks (that includes you JB) will do anything to lose weight (except eating properly, exercising, gaining self-esteem, self-respect, etc.)

For now she remains house bound. Sure... 'til they cut a bigger door opening.

I'm sure she's turned down roles... but never a buffet at the Golden Corral.

She's so fat. When she dances, the band skips!

f*cking a mastodon like this is like f*cking a woman with multiple c*nts. There is always a new whole to stick the d*ck in.
