These Famous Croatians Lost the Most Weight, With a Politician Clearly Leading the List

Celebrity weight loss has become a public competition, complete with before-and-after photographs, new workout routines and social-media terms such as “Ozempic face.” A Croatian politician leads the list of prominent Croatians said to have lost the most weight, with an actress close behind.

The fascination extends beyond appearance. Vitally changed bodies have prompted questions about how quickly public figures achieved their results, particularly as GLP-1 medicines such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy moved from medical treatment into pop culture.

The article warns against treating speculation as evidence. A person's weight loss does not prove that they used medication, and photographs cannot reveal what happened behind the scenes. Some celebrities have acknowledged using drugs, others have denied it, while others have attributed their transformations to diet, exercise, health reasons or a combination of factors.

Sharon Osbourne is cited as one of the better-known stars to discuss Ozempic publicly. She said the drug helped her lose about 19 kilograms within a few months, but later acknowledged that she had lost more weight than she wanted and struggled to regain it.

The trend has also reached Croatia, where celebrities increasingly discuss lost weight, changes in diet, exercise and new lifestyles. Some have disclosed the amount they lost or shared transformation photographs. In other cases, the public has been left to speculate, a distinction the article says deserves caution.
