Leandro Hassum
Hassum, who became famous precisely for playing Jorginho, the unlucky chubby guy in “Zorra Total” and, later, “Os Caras de Pau”, today displays a muscular abdomen and much lower body fat. The actor weighed 150 kg and said he was afraid of dying, and after trying, without a definitive result, several alternative diets (“…diet of the sun, the moon, fruit, soup, shakes, protein…” ), the actor finally managed to lose 65 kilos and maintain this weight with the help of bariatric surgery, exercise and a selective, non-restrictive diet. In a post on his Instagram page, Leandro posted a photo comparing his body before and after the transformation, with a motivational message: “We will always be judged for changing or for not wanting to change. Being different is beautiful. I loved myself then and I love myself the same today. I'm proud to be a beloved fat man who everyone thought was beautiful (I thought I was too) and I'm proud to be a motivation for many who want to change. Be happy without caring about other people’s opinions.”
