Top 20 Movie Fat Guys

No one loves a fat guy more than Hollywood - there's always going to be roles available for the plus-sized actors out there, even if it means being the token party animal or computer nerd. The fleshy fellas are finally standing up to be counted (sometimes twice) as we celebrate cinema's finest fatties in style - here you'll find twenty of the greatest gargantuan guys that you can find, and they're all hungry for success. And pizza. So, sit back, undo the buckle on your belt, gorge yourself on our elephantine entrants and remember - eating's not cheating.

20. GLUTTONY from SE7EN
Kicking off our list of fabulous fat guys is this unfortunate fellow, who shall remain nameless aside from the deadly sin he represents - well, with a gut like his, he was never going to be lust, was he? Gluttony is discovered by Officers Mills and Somerset, face down in a bowl of spaghetti, sitting stone dead in his own piss and shit - it's hardly a dignified way to go, but bear in mind he was forced to chow down at gunpoint by Kevin Spacey's cold-eyed nutjob, who just couldn't bear to see such a mountain of a man take another breath. "A disgusting man," he ranted, "who, if you saw him on the street, you'd point him out to your friends so they could join you in mocking him." This coming from the guy who cuts his fingertips off.

19. THE PENGUIN from BATMAN RETURNS
Of all the foes Batman faced, The Penguin was the least physically impressive - forget about going toe-to-toe with the Dark Knight, poor old Oswald Cobblepot looks like he'd be defeated by a flight of stairs. Give him a break though, it's not his fault he's so tubby - if you were born with flippers and a beak, you'd probably turn to comfort eating too. Crazed by vengeance, The Penguin is a few parasols short of an umbrella stand, dressing in a top hat and monocle (despite living in the sewer - hardly The Ritz) and driving around in a giant yellow duck. Oswald must have wished his dad had fucked an ostrich instead; at least he could have hidden his head in the sand. Like his flightless arctic friends though, all that blubber must have come in handy in the Winter.


18. BOB PARR from THE INCREDIBLES
There is a reason you don't see many fat superheroes: lycra is not kind to the burly gentleman. However, what better disguise for the retired superhero in hiding than a gigantic pot-belly? Anyone with half a brain could clock Clark Kent looked like Superman in spectacles, but Bob Parr is about as far from Incredible as it gets. Working 9-5 in a buttoned-down insurance office, his super-strength is wasted filing invoices and screwing old ladies (not like that, you understand) until he gets the offer of a lifetime to squeeze into his super-suit once more. It takes one hell of a workout to get him back to buff superhero requirements, but he can't get rid of his spare tyre completely - he's just big boned, okay? You have to feel for Bob's wife during the lovemaking - with a guy his size, it's a good thing she's known as Elastigirl.

17. DAVID 'LARDASS' HOGAN from STAND BY ME
When Gordy sits down and tells the rest of the gang the story of David 'Lardass' Hogan, you know it's going to be good. Lardass was a kid so large, that even his tent-like clothing bursts at the seams trying to contain the flab within. Needless to say, a weight-orientated nickname was always on the cards, but Lardass knew what he had to do - seek revenge in the grossest way possible. Before entering the tri-county Pie-Eating Content, he necked a bottle of castor oil and cracked a raw egg in his mouth before scoffing countless blueberry pies. Before long, a rumble like the sound of Satan's own bum-gut preceded a jet of Lardass's purple projectile vomit, until the entire crowd joined in the barf-a-rama (Mayor Grundy even barfed on his wife's tits). Chow down, wide load!

16. DYNAMO from THE RUNNING MAN
Back when Arnie had about as much political power as a small electric toaster, he was an innocent man and fighting for his life on killer TV show The Running Man. One of his many foes, Dynamo might not have been the most lithe stalker on the show, but he was certainly the most flamboyant. Dressed from head-to-toe in unflattering armour covered in 'futuristic' circuitry, the opera-singing psycho was kitted out in flashing LEDs - such bright lights were a necessity, as Dynamo's fat ass did have a tendency to block out the sun should he ever bend over. Arnie was quick to pick up on his opponent's beefy demeanour, labelling him 'light bulb' and 'Christmas tree' before he puts his lights out, but he might not have been so quick with the insults if he knew the actor who played him was to die of heart failure later that year.

Fatties number 15-11, this way! >>>>
