Harvey Fierstein – Lost 120 Lbs
Harvey Fierstein, Broadway’s unmistakable voice behind “Torch Song Trilogy” and “Hairspray,” has taken center stage again—this time with a dramatic weight loss. Weighing in at 310 pounds during the pandemic, Harvey decided enough was enough and shed an impressive 120 pounds by 2024, thanks to the weight-loss medication Zepbound. “Who knew my big finish would be portion control?” he quipped, crediting the drug for reining in his appetite.
As if reinventing himself wasn’t enough, Harvey also unveiled the Harvey Fierstein Theatre Lab in 2024, a sleek performance space that nurtures fresh talent. It’s safe to say this icon isn’t just lighter on his feet—he’s busier than ever.
