    And don’t forget the cheese …lots, and lots of cheese …

    • qwerty says:

      And meat. I could bet all my money he eats meat every day, probably every meal even.

      • here's Wilson says:

        Don’t know about the French, but I don’t personally know an American man who doesn’t eat meat at every meal ….shocker!

      • Anath Pariah says:

        I lost a TON of weight on the Atkins diet, so eating meat everyday doesn’t always contribute to weight gain.

      • Isadora says:

        I’m not sure the comment about meat was regarding his weight, but he has the typical reddish skin tone of excessive meat lovers (maybe a mixture of too much iron and/or slightly coronary problems?). Overweight vegetarians hardly ever look like this.

        And I don’t know about Americans, but I personally don’t know a single man who HAS to have meat at every meal.

      and the person who brings it to him by the looks of it

  2. Tiffany27 says:

    And his looks reflect this.

    • Erinn says:

      He honestly looks like he’s absorbed most of it.

      I got a nice local valley wine last weekend and I drank about 1/3 of it, feeling festive, and even on my most ‘festive’ I don’t think I could have even attempted to finish that bottle. However, I have managed to do some damage on really cheap near cooler level stuff.

    • Diana B says:

      I was about to say: “and it shows”…

    • Steph says:

      Wasn’t he convicted of rape years ago?

  3. NorthernGirl_20 says:

    That would explain the last picture – bloated and red faced .. How is he still alive? ..

  4. InvaderTak says:

    How is that even possible?

  5. Ag says:

    is that even physically possible?!

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I would be dead.

    • Esmom says:

      It does not seem physically possible to me. Most people would be dead upon attempting that, I’d think.

    • Etheldreda says:

      It’s the equivalent of nearly 1 bottle of wine per waking hour.

      I don’t think that is possible, even for a very heavy drinker. Certainly not on a regular basis.

    • qwerty says:

      He;s probably drunk non stop without sobering even for a second for weeks at a time and he actually feels bad *without* alcohol. Like, he needs a few bottles just to keep the blood alcohol level where he doesn’t get withdrawal symptoms.

      It’s like with those people with the highest B.A.C. recorded (1.480% for example), a normal person would die if they drunk so much at once but these people are still walking and driving… it usually took them months to get to this level by gradually increasing the amount of alcohol consumed without sobering for one day.

    • Maria says:

      i dont think so. alcohol aside think about how much water that is. you can die from drinking too much water.
      Depardieu certainly drinks way more than other people and after all those years has a high tolerance but he cant drink so much liquid and not die from it.

    • Bob Loblaw says:

      No, it’s not possible.

  6. Jaderu says:

    Drew Barrymore doesn’t look like Drew Barrymore any more. That was a tongue twister! Is it just the hair? She looks good but just sooo different.

    • inthekitchen says:

      OMG, she had to have had a facelift too, right? She is unrecognizable. And I think she looks awful. Shiny, weird forehead, tired, tight face…blech.

      • Rin says:

        She had baby number two in the Spring. I would venture a guess it is still baby weight. Looks fine to me.

    • CTgirl says:

      It definitely looks like Drew has succumbed to the dreaded Hollywood Generic Face Syndrome.

      • Julia says:

        It’s so sad!

      • mystified says:

        Too bad. One thing I always notice in foreign films is how different the actors look from each other. In American films the actors tend to look the same, only the hair color is different. Occasionally you’ll get a different looking actress like Jennifer Grey, but then she has work done to look like everyone else. Jennifer Anniston also used to have a distinctive look and shape and now she also looks like everyone else.

  7. Kiddo says:

    His liver is the liver of all livers, having survived that amount of alcohol, (which ended with whiskey at night, BTW). And he says he was never drunk, ‘just pissed’. Following his death, his liver should be installed at the Mütter Museum, or in the Liver Hall of Fame.

    • doofus says:

      holy crap…the Mutter is one of the coolest/freakiest places EVER.

    • mimif says:

      My liver looks like his face (or maybe vice versa)? I totally want to got to the Mütter, after a wine tasting, naturally.

      • Kiddo says:

        They actually serve wine there for some events, although I’ve never gone. Very pricey and highbrow and a bit of a distance. Anyway, better to have you pickled before you get put it in the jars! It saves time.

    • FLORC says:

      Kiddo
      I would not be shocked at all he’s had a transplant at this point. Or atleast a lot of medical interventions. Maybe he sleeps with a 4 litre IV bag to rehydrate his body and flush out his system?

      Either way. All I can think of is 14 bottles of wine in 1 day is likely what i’d need to find him somewhat attractive.

  8. frisbeejada says:

    First thought liver transplant, second thought, I’m a registered donor (they can have everything they need once I’m gone) but would I be happy having my teetotal and pink liver donated to someone who is clearly an alcoholic and has inflicted the damage on themselves? Tricky one.

    • FLORC says:

      That would not happen.
      If he was to have a transplant (which is an option I stated above) he would have had to go outside of the donor list. He would have to find a liver that wasn’t already known from someone who wasn’t on the list. This is possible with money (which he has in spades).
      It’s incredibly unlikely your liver wouldn’t get on the system the moment it’s available.
      And receivers would have to live a clean lifestyle to be canidates.

      • ol cranky says:

        he’s famous and rich, it wouldn’t be the only time exceptions were made

        I think the rule is supposed to be that an alcoholic must remain sober for 6 months prior to being listed for transplant. If I recall correctly, it was questioned whether a few very famous liver transplant recipients were sober that long prior (David Crosby, Mickey Mantle); George Best (the English footballer) wasn’t sober for 6 months prior, still got a transplant and went right back to drinking

      • FLORC says:

        ol Cranky
        You’re right. I’m thinking more that he took the Steve Jobs route and secured a liver outside of the donor list. Or was it he paid someone to be removed from the list so his liver went straight to him? Either way money is the primary link here.

        It’s sick. I understand many fear death, but to be so entitled as to take a liver from another that plays by the rules so you can move up the list or mistreat your body prior to transplant makes me some combination of frustrated and angry.
        It’s not like they’re doing this because they’re weeks away from curing cancer. It’s simply for selfish reasons and financial pursuits.

  9. Erinn says:

    Whoa. Do you think Jess got a reduction to look thinner?
    Her weight loss is making her mouth look really weird. She looks very different.

    • Hautie says:

      It appears Jessica has went to Dr. 90210 and had those lips injected. And now she looks like Carol Channing’s, weird cousin. Put the red lipstick down Jessica!

      Next up, she needs to stop dickering with her face. NOW. She is one of the very few naturally pretty girls roaming around in LA. Who is actually prettier, without makeup. But it is looking like all that fat shaming, she has lived with for the last 5 years. Has screwed with her head.

      • Mixtape says:

        Yes, the dark lip is NOT her friend. Carol Channing is a good one. She was reminding me of Sandra Bernhard for some reason. You would think witnessing how her sister’s face has fallen apart in just the few years since she had her work done would serve as a cautionary tale, but I guess not. I will never understand why people who are, in part, successful and famous due to their natural beauty feel the need to mess with it.

        As for her chest, she lost a bunch of weight and stopped nursing at the same time, so…

    • Cupcake says:

      I think Jessica Simpson is suffering from a common phenomenon among women who breastfeed. I’ve known several women with big breasts whose breasts shrunk after breast feeding. I think her smaller breast size is the natural consequence of weaning her babies and also losing weight contributes too I’m sure.

    • Belle Epoch says:

      “Very different” is an understatement!!! Simpson used to be attractive in a sortof healthy, pin-up girl way, with shiny blonde hair and big boobs and a big ol’ stupid grin. Now she has lost ALL of those attributes and just looks weird.

  10. RobN says:

    I would have guessed 16 from the looks of him.

  11. Size Does Matter says:

    Really? 14 bottles of wine per day? I never would have guessed. He looks…wholesome. As in, he drinks the whole barrel.

  12. Bubulle says:

    He is so full of it, you can’t drink 14 bottles of wine a day and still be alive especially if you have undergone heart bypass surgery like Gerard, he also claims to have killed two lions right, no one he is taking him seriously anymore in my country, He needs to retire.

  13. Mia4S says:

    You put anyone’s name in that headline but Gerard Depardieu’s and I’d be stunned. Him? Zero shock.

    I freaking love the new Doctor Who. I abandoned the show several years ago and now I am 100% back. The show has it’s weaknesses but Peter Capaldi is brilliant.

    • mel says:

      I’m on Season 6 and honestly I can’t wait for Eleven and the Ponds to go. So I’m excited for when I reach the 8th season.

    • FLORC says:

      I’ve long since watched every episode from falling for Baker on PBS and haven’t missed a beat since Eccleston and the reboot.
      I think they addressed the older looking doctor quite well although I’ve never cared for that motley trio that helped Clara realize this. Sorry for being a bit cryptic. Avoiding spoilers!

      Although that lastest episode was tough. There were a few characters that hate to be seen and you instatnly forget them…, but this episode didn’t leave me comfortable with time travel logic. Not at all. And that’s something I’ve loved about Doctor Who. The time travel aspect was on point.

      Mel
      Rory and Amy brought me to tears when they left. They were relevant and needed for the plot lines to add up from David to Matt’s doctors. Plucky Clara isn’t as easy to like as Amy imo.

      • mel says:

        I’m hoping they grow on me. I like Rory, but I just find Amy to be grating.

        Is it worth going back and watching the classic episodes?

  14. Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

    This is why he had to pee in the aisle of the plane.

  15. Pocket Lint says:

    It shows.

  16. siri says:

    He will end up dead in no time, if this is true.

  17. Anony says:

    God I hate Adrian Peterson. So he previously beat a toddler and left a large gash on his head and got away without even a slap on the wrist? BLOOD IS BOILING PEOPLE! He whips a four year old leaving bleeding gashes up and down both legs and he STILL HAS SUPPORTERS DEFENDING HIS ACTIONS!!!!!!!!!! I have so much rage and no where to put it! YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    • Ag says:

      i do too. it’s classic domestic violence/violent psycho “justifications” – he hit because he loves, he was just disciplining his child, he’s sorry you were offended. no, he’s sorry anyone else saw it. i’d like to see his reaction if someone 10+ times his size would beat him. the people who defend him, and people like him, are pieces of $hit, seriously.

    • ol cranky says:

      apparently, using a switch to beat a child is legal in Texas. If you think people were up in arms with many people on a certain end of the political spectrum saying Ray Rice shouldn’t be punished (including one fox news/national review commentator calling RIce the victim), wait til you see how the right will go to support Peterson and turn it into a question of their religious freedom to discipline their children biblical style.

      • here's Wilson says:

        I find it offensive that you think that views on any end of the political spectrum would approve of this behavior. .stereotype much? Why should the opinion of one commentator be considered the consensus of an entire group of people?

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      This makes me so angry and disgusted, I can’t even find the words. I am so sickened.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        It is disgusting. My mom was/is a firm believer in discipline–I remember once, a few years ago, we were all sitting in the dentists office, and the dentist asked my mom how we were so well behaved, and she replied ‘southern beatings’….I wanted to laugh because the dentist went real red after that.

        But anyway–my mom has never, ever left a bruise on any of us, let alone actual cuts–let alone at the age of four. Disgusting. You don’t discipline ANYONE like that, let alone a four year old.

    • doofus says:

      the good news is that the Vikings reversed course (losing money is always a great motivator) and they’ve now banned him from games and all activities.

    • AntiSocialButterfly says:

      And then stupid a$$hole Reggie Bush says he “harshly disciplines his one year old”.
      HIS ONE YEAR OLD. WTF is wrong with these men, omg?
      What a sh!tty legacy to carry on.

  18. LAK says:

    Well, he doesn’t look terrible on it.

    He’s always looked like this, so clearly it’s not hurting him.

    College students drink more than that, and it’s usually hard, paint tripper stuff.

  19. Eleonor says:

    A while ago I’ve read an interview of his daughter Julie, who said he will be dead in five years.
    Seeing his recent exploit (friendship with Putin and stuff like that to avoid taxes) I think he is not sober at all: he looks out of his òind all the time.

  20. Maum says:

    My uncle went on a trade/regional promotion visit with him to China. He told me he was the coarsest man he had ever met. Rude, crude, burping and farting at the table etc.

    He spent a whole meal moaning about how boring it was having sex with Carole Bouquet. Apparently she was so ‘slow’ he had to spend hours going down on her just to get her off.
    He was equally explicit and tactless about other women he’d had sex with too.

    My uncle was left rather traumatised!

  21. Lydia says:

    I knew he was a big ol’ drunk when he voluntarily moved to Russia.

  22. Tania says:

    Just wanted to say that the worst I had ever heard of, (I work in critical care) was a guy who admitted to drinking 3L of vodka daily. And any ICU doctor will tell you that most ppl underreport the amount they drink. You usually have to double the amount to get a better understanding of how much they’re actually drinking.

  23. Cupcake says:

    That bloat looks painful 🙁

  24. FLORC says:

    The batmobile is terrible! Damnit Snyder! stop confirming you should be banned from anything comic book to big screen related! You’re the worst.

    Jessica’s chest might have deflated from finally going a stretch without being pregnant. I knew a woman that went from c’s to a’s after her baby.

    Doctor who had a bad episode, but it’snot terrible thus far.

    And yay! CoverGirl and others need to show the NFL that behavior is not cool. Or at least not cool when it affects their bottom line also.

  25. Anath Pariah says:

    Whatever Jessica Simpson’s doing…

    I need it.

    My natural body type is like Jessica Simpson’s/Kate Upton’s. I feel for Jessica Simpson because we gain weight the exact same way and we will both probably have to watch our weight forever because it’s so easy to gain weight on a figure like mine or hers and look kind of frumpy.

  26. Twinkle says:

    He’s deluded. He gets mighty drunk. I know because I met him. It was many years ago. He was hiding out in the kitchen of the TriBeCa Grill. I was sent to fetch him by my boss and the French producer traveling with GD. I went to the host and asked if GD was there. The host nodded his head and brought Mon. Depardieu out. It was perhaps 11ish and he was already wobbly and bleary eyed. He was slurring. I couldn’t believe it. Up till then he was my idol, and I was so thrilled to meet Jean de Florette. I was shocked and disappointed he was such a sloppy mess.
