Obesity is something that troubles many people irrespective of their age, gender, race, and even social or economic status. Gaining pounds is an easy thing, but losing them isn't. Food isn't always the prime culprit in obesity. Several psychological, metabolic, and hormonal disorders make people gain weight very fast. As said earlier, overweight can affect anyone, and celebrities are not an exception. Many of our beloved celebrities had gotten fat even after living a slim and healthy lifestyle for years. If you look at a celebrity diet and exercise regime, you'll be shocked to know how much they have to take care of their weight and diet. Read the weight gain stories of 12 celebrities and find out how and why overweight sabotaged their image.
1.Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson is the first American Idol winner, and this woman was quite a big name in the American music industry during the early 2000s. She is the best example of how a thin person can gain a lot of weight if they let their lifestyle habits go out of control. Kelly Clarkson, the mother of two, has never tried to control her excess weight. The Queen of Covers has been fat shamed by media on numerous occasions. Kelly Clarkson says she gets hurt when she hears people criticizing her overweight. While talking with Ellen DeGeneres on her show, Kelly Clarkson said she might never be able to get back to her former shape.
2.Mariah Carey
The Daydream singer has been dealing with weight-related issues from a very long time. Mariah Carey frequently gets plump, and the good thing is that she comes back to shape just when people think she's becoming a butterball. She looks a bit bulky lately; nothing like how she used to look during the earlier stages of her recording career. Mariah Carey has dealt with some eating disorders, mainly due to the personal life disturbances. The 46-year-old pop singer seems to be in good health in 2016, but we still feel she needs to get rid of those extra pounds. Interestingly, She has one of the top big breasts celebrity in Hollywood.
3.Tyra Banks
The famous American television personality, actress, author, producer, and former supermodel, Tyra Banks, has become a bit chubby lately. As you may know, Tyra Banks was once world's highest paid model. She was a Victoria Secret Angel between the years 1997 and 2005. She hasn't paid much attention to her body of late, and you can see the result in the picture. The excess weight hasn't really bothered The Tyra Show host, though. She is happy with it. Like other celebs on the topic, Tyra Banks has been fat shamed by numerous media agencies and critics. She has an answer for them, though. Tyra Banks once told those complainers to kiss her fat ass!
4.Anna Gunn
Anna Gunn, the actress who portrayed Skyler White on the famous AMC TV series, Breaking Bad, has puffed up lately. She had weight issues during the shoot of the show's fourth season. Anna Gunn looks a bit bulky in Season 4, and she linked her weight problems to cortisone medication she had received previously. The notable TV actress said she was ill at that time but didn't talk much about her illness. Apparently, it seems Anna Gunn weight problems have come back haunting her again. Weight gain, when caused by medical conditions, is very tough to handle. Let's hope she takes care of her health in a better way.
5.Rob Kardashian
Robert Kardashian was once a slim guy who looked like an average American. He now looks nowhere closer to how he used to look during his younger years. Rob Kardashian's case is a prime of example of psychological disorder driven weight gain. This guy became morbidly obese after breaking up with Rita Ora in 2012. He managed to bring his excessive weight under control in the subsequent years, thanks to his new girlfriend, Blac Chyna's efforts. As the couple is now on the verge of a split, the Kardashian family now fears that Rob may fall into the sinkhole of depression once again.
6.Val Kilmer
Val Kilmer, the American actor who is known throughout the world for playing leading roles in movies like Batman Forever, The Prince of Egypt, Joe the King, etc. was once a very healthy man. Back in the 90s, Kilmer was known for his killer body! However, in the recent years, he is hardly recognizable. Much of Val Kilmer's weight gain is linked to his uncontrollable eating habits. It seems the Batman star has focused on losing those extra pounds in the recent years, but he is still far from being called a fit person again. This picture clearly shows what has happened to him!
7.Steven Seagal
Steven Seagal is an American actor and a 7th-degree black belt holder in Aikido (martial art). In fact, Steve is the first foreigner to set up an Aikido training center in Japan. This man is a legendary martial artist, and now he looks like a typical 60-year-old fat family man. Steven Seagal remained healthy and maintained good physique even during his 50s. He is now 64 years old, and we think his overweight has something do with health issues like thyroid dysfunction. Let's hope Steven will be back to good health very soon. Hey, never mess with a 7th-degree black belt holder just because he is fat or old!

8.Kevin Federline
Kevin Federline puffed up a like balloon after he legally separated from Britney Spears in 2007. He gained a lot of weight that he soon turned unrecognizable. Kevin Federline, an American former rapper, was known for his skinny looks during his younger years. He now looks like a big daddy, and he always blames Britney Spears for his plight. Kevin Federline said in an interview that the divorce with Britney Spears hurt him so badly that he became a couch potato. Kevin now looks a lot better in terms of weight as he seems to be working on it.
9.John Travolta
The Pulp Fiction star was once known for his sexy looks. John Travolta ruled the 90s with back-to-back blockbuster hits. The 62-year-old legendary American actor seems to be missing the fitness track as he puts up a lot of weight lately. The good thing is that he has been working on his weight issues. Travolta looks a lot better in his recent photos, but the Hollywood star needs to put a lot more effort to regain his lost charisma. Of course, only if he wants to! We know he is a senior man, and we believe he needs to stay fit at least from the health perspective.

Mathew Perry doesn't look like Chandler Bing (FRIENDS) anymore. He is now hardly recognizable. Matthew Perry has been battling with overweight issues for a very long time, even while filming the famous NBC's TV series, FRIENDS. He was addicted to drugs and alcohol in the past. Much of his weight fluctuations are linked to the years of substance abuse. Perry says he has been living clean of late, free from drugs, but thinks he still needs to work a lot to get in shape.
11.Jon Favreau
The famous American actor and director once used to have a great body. As an artist, he is known for playing roles in movies such as Rudy, Swingers, etc. Jon Favreau, however, received good global recognition as a film director. He directed blockbuster Hollywood films like Iron Man series, The Jungle Book (2016), and Elf. It looks like the Hollywood director has gained not only popularity and money but also weight in the recent times. Lately, Jon Favreau looks completely out of shape, and nothing like how he looked in the "Swingers" movie that was released nearly a couple of decades ago.
12.Keely Shaye Smith
