Academy Award Winner Forest Whitaker has shown that his weight loss regimen is working like a charm. The 49-year-old Shield and Criminal Minds actor is proud of his being an active vegetarian.
Whitaker had made public service announcements for PETA and even undertook humanitarian efforts to help Ugandan child soldiers. But what’s more admirable is his stand against ice cream, pasta and pizza.
He had lost 70 lbs so far, helping him in his role as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland. Whitaker shares that he “cut all the soy out and it changed everything,” adding that he “just wanted to take care of himself.”
