Oooh! Boy George has lost some weight, hasn’t he? I didn’t even recognize him! These are some new pics of Boy George at the 2013 WhatsOnStage.com Awards last night in London. Just for a point of reference, this is what Boy George looked like last May:
See? I think he’s like me – when I gain and lose weight, you can see it immediately in my face. Boy George looks somewhat deflated, but… it’s good. There’s no loose skin or anything, everything looks tight and he looks healthy (as in, not emaciated). He’s 51 years old, and the weight loss makes him look younger, I think. Plus, I think he’s being helped along by some really great makeup. There are a lot of Hollywood women who could use Boy George’s eye makeup talents.
After Boy George tweeted a photo of his new look yesterday, he must have gotten a lot of comments about his new look, because he later tweeted “My Secret!” and linked to Freer Nutrition. I glanced through the website, and the gist seems to be “eating healthy, not starving yourself, lots of fruits and vegetables, lots of raw foods and lots of vegetarian stuff.” I believe Boy George IS a vegetarian and has been for a while, so that makes sense. Good work, Boy George!!

He’s always been a bigger guy-so honestly, this doesn’t quite look like him, and he appears kind of unwell.
Yes, sorry that my first thought was of illness, as well. I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and weight loss was a major symptom…
I thinks he looks good ! We’re just used to him a bit bigger he has great eyes and eyebrows. Good for him!
He hasn’t always been a bigger guy. When he came out in the 80s with karma chameleon he looked this good.
he’s had a history of drug abuse so I’m not liking the look. Heroin and coke thinness is nothing to admire.
He looks amazing. His eyebrows are flawless.
He really does look great. Yes we are used to him being heavier which is why you do a double take but he hasn’t lost too much weight. Just the right amount. His jaw looks chiseled now and you really see what great facial features he has.
How can you say that he looks amazing? Are we looking at the same photos? He looks like twin brother of Richard Grieco. He must look like walking corpse under this heavy makeup.
He looks like the lost Madden brother (to Benji and the other one)
He really knows how to make his eyes pop!
Bloody hell, he’s so pretty.
I hope his physical transformation has helped him mentally/emotionally too.
Absolutely agree. He is a great looking guy, thin or thick. It’s wonderful to see him looking so well.
It doesn’t look to me like he is sick from a disease or addiction. I truly hope that he has controlled his past demons for good.
Rock on, Boy. Forever a fan!
Michael K of Dlisted is going to simply adore the eyebrows…
That’s what I was expecting. He concentrated on the fupa instead. Haha http://mobile.dlisted.com/2013/02/18/boy-george-less-fupa
SO now that we finaaly found the frontman of the Culture club, can we PLSSSSS hear some great music, as back in the days…?Thnk you!
Word.
In keeping with the food theme…Do you really want to burp me? Do you really want to make me fry? (sorry).
Haven’t heard of any kind of illness… so I decided to be happy for him! 🙂
He looks amazing! Well done, George! 😀
i wish i could do my eyebrows as well as him.
I’ve always been jealous of his eye makeup game.
good work on the weight loss, but umm-didn’t he got to jail on assualt charges? sorry but I see nothing inspirational about him..
Wow…that’s great. He still has the most beautiful eyes.
Neatest eyebrows ever. I could never get mine to look this nice. Looks like he had a steady weight loss and he looks good, so props to him!
UGLIEST hat I have ever seen. WTF, I hate hats.
I like Boy George, and I don’t wish to be negative, but I really really hope that this weight loss doesn’t have anything to do with drugs. He does have a history of addiction, but he has seemed so much more grounded in recent years. Much happier too. I hope he is still in that happy, healthy place.
Yeah he was about this size when he was on heroin.His skin looks healthy though .
You can see some eye bags in the pics. I too am worried about possible drugs being the cause. . He has been doing a lot of Euro gigs as a DJ, and no one mentioned how thin he was getting.
Actually, now that I think about it, I have read tweets about food from him. It’s a good possibility that he’s just lost weight eating better.
He has always had the most beautiful eyes!!! Memories of grade school and loving him and Culture Club!!! One of the most beautiful male voices I think!!
I remember liking his voice when Culture Club was on the radio. I think he looked more like he does now back then, so he looks okay to me. If he’s really eating veggie, that can take the weight off easily without pain if you go heavy on fruits and vegetables, beans with some seeds and nuts rather than overboard on oils and dairy – look at the Eat to Live series by Fuhrman, his patients were dealing with some serious health problems but were able to lose weight safely that way and get a lot healthier in the process.
I would kill to have him teach me how to do eye makeup.
Wow Looks good 😀
This must feel strange and new for him.
Oh yeah he looks real good. Please!!!!!!!!!!
He looks awful. Emaciated and grotesque is what he looks. That make up hideous. A queen will always be a queen.
Are you saying that “queens” never look good? First of all, what do you mean by “queen?” Second of all, I know a lot of what I think you are referring to as “queens”, and they are gorgeous. And I think he looks great, I love his make-up and I think his eyes are beautiful.
He looks good. I wouldn’t have recognized him, though.
I wish I could do my eyes like him! Those brows are perfection!
he looks good and seems to be eating a clean diet.
I honestly thought, no insult intended towards her, that the main header pic was Nicole Richie with fake facial hair. It looked like some weird fashion event. Then I actually read the heading…
He’s looking good, I can only hope he’s not ill and just went on a diet. He always had amazing makeup skills.
Why is it that everybody is so happy and so proud when someone looses weight? Like that’s some kind of heroic act and lifetime achievement…I think it’s sad and dangerous to impart such importance on some pounds.
Because when you have a food addiction or you’re just overweight, losing a healthy amount of weight in a healthy manner is incredibly hard. So nice people like to support people who have achieved goals or conquered demons.
He looks great. He has such lovely eyes and a great jawline. But how on earth is he fifty? His skin looks like that of a man at least two decades younger.
Makeup is full of titanium dioxide, it acts as sunscreen. Plus, I don’t get the impression that he spends a lot of time in the sun anyway. Those two things alone would have preserved him quite well compared to other men his age.
He is such a pretty man 🙂 He looks amazing!
large or small he will forever be a beauty, just hope he stays healthy.
i’ll still tumble 4 ya, Boy!
I LOVE Boy George!! And I like his black and white polka dot hat….
damn, he’s hot !
Wow, he did lose alot of weight. He looks great. Good for him.
Wow , I never realized how gorgeous actually is—you’re hot sweetie and those eyes are stunning you’re looking good !
You got that right 🙂
I think he looks AWESOME….I still LOVE listening to his music today. And like everyone else, GOD his eyes, and sexy jaw bone!!! :):) <3 <3
Real men don’t have curves but real women do? Celebrate yourself as you are, especially if you have round figure? Why is weighloss inspirational then?
Comecomecome cameleon, weight comes and goes. It comes and goesooooes!!! LOL! But yea, he looks good! Happy vegan bro!
He looks good but at the same time I am concerned he could be unwell.
he looks great!! Weight loss does make a person look younger and great!! for 51 he looks great
He owns or is part owner of a vegan/raw foods/nutrition store in (I think) Kensington and I know he took up jogging a while back. Not surprised he’s lost a bunch of weight.
Also, he’s been a vegetarian for probably at least 20 years, ever since he did the hare krishna thing in the late 80’s/early 90’s. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s taking up exercise seriously that’s made the big difference. He always hated it and was never really serious about it before.
