Looks like Jackson’s been feasting on a few Hobbits…
Peter lost a great deal of weight when he finished the trilogy. He has put it all back on…and, maybe even more.
No doubt, this is part of the way he deals with the stress of these massive productions.
We love you, Peter…watch your weight.
I agree, and he seems so much more happier and inspired. These are going to be a couple of wonderful films. Next December can’t come fast enough!
Yeah, definitely been packing on the weight lately. I don’t blame him, he looks older when he’s heavy, but he’s much happier I notice.
I keep telling my wife I’m much happier when I binge drink and reconnect with my coke dealer, but she isn’t buying that that makes it good for me.
Best comment of the day Dr. Steve!
He actually looks healthier at this weight. When he lost all of that weight, he seemed unhappy and lacked energy (plus he put out the horrid Lovely Bones that bombed when he was thin). He isn’t morbidly obese, so this seems to be a good weight for him.
Amazing to see what goes on in transporting the production. The costs must be enormous. Hats off to the office people who put the transport all together. Haven’t seen any of the films, but after seeing this I will.
