In a recent appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show, hilarious comedian George Lopez had the audience in stitches as he talked about his weight loss journey. Known for his self-titled sitcom, George Lopez looked fantastic as he discussed shedding 50 pounds and even dropping three cup sizes.
For a Latino like George, losing 50 pounds is no easy feat. He humorously remarked that for a Latino, the conversion chart for weight loss is 175 white pounds. But he also admitted that looking at food was enough to make him gain weight, joking that he just has to look at it and the pounds start piling on.
To combat his cravings, George revealed his unusual method of taking Tylenol PMs to curb his appetite after 7 pm. He quipped that his plan was to “get the hell out of this Earth” by falling asleep before experiencing any late-night hunger. One time, while in a Tylenol-induced haze, George decided to visit McDonald’s past its closing time, only to encounter a group of attractive individuals from the cast of The OC. They gave him a puzzled look, thinking he was on a good weight loss journey.
When Ellen asked about George’s wife’s reaction to his transformation, George explained that his wife prefers him in his old form. However, he jokingly mentioned that she’s Cuban and has a high sexual drive, attributing it to their desire to conquer America. George humorously shared that his wife often sets the mood with candles, indicating it’s time to “wake up.” He hilariously added that sometimes he pretends he needs another shower just to avoid the unexpected bedtime surprise.
With his weight loss, George has found himself with more energy than ever before, and it’s evident in his performances. When Ellen complimented his energy, he humorously replied, “Yeah, we have to go to a commercial. We’ll be right back.” Always quick with a joke, George knows how to keep the audience entertained.
Aside from discussing his weight loss journey, George also talked about his upcoming movie, “Naughty or Nice,” which he proudly revealed that his wife executive produced. He mentioned that it’s rare to have a Mexican-American lead actor in a Disney movie, and he believes it’s a significant step forward for representation in Hollywood.
George also brought up the fact that his wife not only executive produces his show but also plays a crucial role in managing his career. He humorously admitted that he wouldn’t be where he is without her guidance. The couple’s partnership extends well beyond personal life, and George appreciates everything she’s done for him.
During the conversation, George joked about his small head size, sharing his struggles with finding hats that fit. He hilariously pointed out that when hats are labeled “one size fits all,” they should add a disclaimer: “Except George Lopez.” Similarly, he joked with Ellen about her head being the opposite, having an enormous size.
With his wit and humor, George Lopez had the audience laughing throughout his appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show. From discussing his weight loss journey to joking about his wife’s unexpected surprises, George charmed everyone with his undeniable talent for storytelling. Fans can catch George Lopez in his hit show, airing Tuesdays at 8:30 on ABC, and watch him in the upcoming holiday movie “Naughty or Nice” on Saturday at 8:00 on ABC.
