My Name Is Earl star Ethan Suplee reveals the side effects of dramatic 200lb weight loss



He is best known for his role as Randy Hickey on his show My Name Is Earl.

But actor Ethan Suplee has recently added a far more impressive achievement to his CV.

The 35-year-old star has steadily lost over 200lbs in the past decade and yesterday displayed the results of all his hard work in a Lycra cycling outfit as he joined friends for lunch at the Kings Road Cafe in West Hollywood, California.

Added extra: The actor is suffering with loose skin after the dramatic weight loss

While he looked in great shape, he also revealed the blight of many extreme slimmers.



Ethan, who starred in Boy Meets World as a teenager, had folds of loose skin around the inside of his knees.



He arrived at the restaurant on a road bike which has become his main source of transport in recent years.

In fact he has admitted that he weight loss is largely due to his obsession with cycling.

When asked how he lost all the weight, he told TMZ back in March: 'I ride bikes. I ride road bikes.'

'I wear spandex and everything,' he joked.



Suplee's gradual weight loss has been apparent for several years, but when he stepped on the red carpet last October to promote his film Unstoppable, there was no denying there had been a significant transformation.

His decision to transform his body stemmed from a bet he made with director Kevin Smith that he would lose more weight than him in ten years after filming comedy hit Mallrats.

Ethan won the bet.

The funny man got his first big break into acting when he landed a role in Smith's black comedy, alongside his fellow My Name Is Earl cast mate, Jason Lee.

He then went on to appear in two more Smith films, Chasing Amy and Dogma.
