FAVREAU WATCHES FAT FOOTAGE OF HIMSELF TO MAINTAIN DIET

Actor/director JON FAVREAU sticks to his diet by watching DVDs containing footage of himself putting on weight. The Swingers star decided to start dieting in March (07), when he weighed in at 132 kilograms (290 pounds). And Favreau, who now weighs 93 kilograms (205 pounds), credits watching old episodes of culinary TV show Dinner For Five, which he hosted from 2001 to 2004, with giving him the encouragement to maintain his healthy regime. He says, "If you watch the 49 episodes in order you can see me get fatter and fatter." But Favreau adds, "It's a lot easier looking at yourself fatter than it is looking at yourself thinner. The other way around, when you used to look great and now you're the after picture. Now that's hard."
