Kathy Bates has every reason to celebrate. Professionally, the 76-year-old’s Matlock reboot is off to a roaring start on CBS. And personally, the award-winning actress is feeling great health-wise too, which includes losing 100 pounds over the last seven years.
She set the record straight to People on rumors that Ozempic was the main reason behind her significant weight loss. Bates attributed the first 80 pounds to changes to her lifestyle and diet with the remaining balance to the drug itself. “I have to impress upon people out there that this was hard work for me, especially during the pandemic. It’s very hard to say you’ve had enough.”
