Drew Carey’s weight journey is an inspiration to us all

Many Hollywood movie stars may live a glamorous life in big mansions, sipping on drinks and enjoying their big pool.

But the fact is that life as an actor can be quite demanding – few jobs are as misunderstood as that of a professional actor. They often spend long days on set and work in a pretty stressful environment.

Therefore, a lot of actors have realized the importance of living a healthy life outside the spotlight – otherwise their bodies simply cannot cope in the end.

When TV host and actor Drew Carey, 65, went head-on into a get-slim-quick plan, many thought he would just drop a few pound and then put his old weight back on again.

But if we look at Drew today, it’s obvious that he has undergone an incredible weight journey – it’s almost impossible to recognize him when you see his new figure!

Drew Carey young

Cleveland native Drew Cary had a tough upbringing. When he was only 8 years old, he was forced to say goodbye to his father, who succumbed to a brain tumor. Drew and his two brothers were then raised by their mother, who had to take two jobs to make ends meet.

“I have been in a lot of desperate situations,” said Drew told Kirkland Reporter in 2010.

After being expelled twice from Kent University due to poor grades, Drew started off his career as a comedian in stand-up comedy.

He was truly a natural talent, and for several years Drew was a regular guest at comedy clubs in Cleveland and Los Angeles.

When Drew entered the ”Star Search” competition in 1988, he received more attention – which led to a guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. He was also invited to Late Night with David Letterman.

For most people, Drew Cary is probably best known for his self-titled and beloved sitcom, The Drew Carey Show. The show, aired on ABC between 1995 to 2004, revolved around the home life of “everyman” Drew Carey, a fictionalized version of the comedian.
