Hitting Rock Bottom While on Your Bare Bottom

The hilarious Kevin Smith, actor and current director of Zack and Miri Make a Porno, is supersized; and, unlike many women, Kevin's not simply saying he's "big and beautiful" or 'big and handsome,' instead he's being real.

"I broke a toilet. That's how heavy I am," he tells the Los Angeles Times. "I can't take all the credit -- that was an old toilet and a very waterlogged wall -- but my size took that toilet down. I cannot cognitively reframe it and be like, 'It wasn't me -- it was the toilet. It was definitely me. And that's a wake-up call!"

After his raunchy new comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno opens today, he says he plans to diet.

"I'm going away for a while to concentrate on myself. To save my life. Come opening weekend, if it does well, I'll want to reward myself by eating more," he added. "And if the movie does poorly, I imagine I'll want to self-medicate and eat more. Hollywood's a hard town to be fat in!"

And from Kevin's blog:

Fuck, I wish I was still that thin. I've porked the fuck out, man. I'm really, really fat right now. Fattest I've ever been. But as soon as this flick's out, I'm taking my life back; gonna drop out of sight and drop a bunch of pounds. It's the deal I've made with myself. Just gotta make it through the next two and half weeks of press and running around.

Here's a movie idea, Kevin. Write about your struggles to lose 100 pounds and keep it off. You can throw in as much over the top fiction as you want, and with the right scenes, actors and script, it would be hilarious.

Any POTP readers know any Hollywood execs? I'm bursting with ideas that suck, but I'm still bursting with ideas! I swear I should go into script writing.

Kevin, I know you can do it! Good luck. :)
