“It doesn’t matter, everyone’s going to think I took Ozempic anyways,” he added.
Jesse went on to say that he decided to start losing weight after he was cast in Civil War.
“I hate even getting specific because then it turns into a whole thing, but there was a part that I did that, in my mind, I could not imagine him as the size that I was,” Jesse said.
As for how he lost weight, Jesse shared, “Several people talked to me about intermittent fasting and I just gave it a shot,” adding that he was “surprised at how quickly it was effective.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, intermittent fasting is a time-restricted diet in which you only eat during certain parts of the day or week.
After filming the role, Jesse said that he found himself “in the rhythm” and continued losing weight.
“I was feeling better, and something shifted in my head,” he said. “I just sort of got a handle on it.”
