Rosie O'Donnell has achieved a dramatic body transformation by using a popular weight-loss drug, Mounjaro.
The star, 63, unveiled her much slimmer frame in an Instagram post as she took to the stage for a stand-up comedy show. She has been open about taking Mounjaro and first revealed she was taking the drug back in 2023.
In the caption of the picture, she told her followers: 'I can't believe this is me now #mounjaro #weightloss #bodydismorphia.'
Opening up: The star revealed she was stunned by the results she achieved with Mounjaro
Social media users jumped to the comment section to share their thoughts on Rosie's weight loss.
One wrote: 'You look great Ro! I'm glad you're feeling better and taking care of your health!'
Another asked; 'Fabulous! How much weight in total? I'm on the same journey,' with O'Donnell replying with, 'Dunno.'
'You look amazing! I've lost 110 on Mounjaro. My A1C is in check. Blood sugar normal,' a third chimed in.
Rosie said in March: 'But the weight loss]is also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don't have a chef now. It's me cooking for [my child] Clay and me.'
She then recalled how she went to a clothing store in Dublin and revealed she was a size large after previously wearing sizes XL or XXL.
'I find it shocking. I really do. I find it completely shocking,' she added.
Being on Mounjaro has not only aided her in losing weight, but has made her feel 'healthier' and she is also 'sleeping better'.
While taking her child to school, the star explained on TikTok: 'I need to let you know I've lost 10lbs since Christmas.'
She added that she has been taking Mounjaro after a fan commented: 'You can't drop a bomb like that and not tell us HOW?'
Rosie said: 'Okay, so like two months ago, my doctor put me on... not Ozempic, Mounjaro? Something like that, and Repath. One I do every other week, and one I do once a week. And that and on Christmas, I stopped drinking anything except water.
'Now I have had champagne one night, that was a toast, and some wine one night, so it hasn't been 100% but I really stopped drinking like five or six Diet Coke's a day.'
Rosie now only sticks to drinking water and has reduced her sugar intake while also sharing: 'And my appetite has decreased significantly. It's probably the meds, and I'm trying to move more, so all of those things combined, that's what it is.'
She previously reflected on her heart attack during an appearance on The Best Podcast Ever in 2023 and admitted that she 'should've died'.
While in the parking lot of a hospital to pick up a friend, the star ended up helping a stranger nearby.
'She said "Rosie, will you help me up?" So I went over and I helped her up and it took a lot longer than I expected. I got home and my arms were hurting. I thought, "That's funny, it must've been from pushing her up". So I went about my business.'
The media personality looked up her symptoms but opted to not immediately see a doctor at the time. She then recalled having a heart attack on a Monday but didn't go to the hospital until two days later. Upon seeing a cardiologist, Rosie was told she was having a 'massive heart attack' and was rushed to the emergency room.
She said: 'I was like, "Wait, wait, what?!" I couldn't believe it. And then I came to find out that the symptoms for a woman having a heart attack are very different than the symptoms for men having heart attacks.
'Yet what we see on TV are always men having heart attacks.'
Rosie and her nonbinary child Clay relocated to the country after Trump's U.S. presidential win in November 2024.
She has also returned to doing stand-up and has a few upcoming shows on select dates between May 28-July 23 at the International Bar in Dublin.
