In the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, where the spotlight shines its brightest, movie stars and celebrities are forever under pressure to look their best at all times. Never more so than when strutting their stuff on the red carpet. But behind some of those flawless figures there’s a not-so-secret secret: Wegovy, the weight loss injection that has taken the world by storm.

Wegovy has become the talk of the Tinseltown in the quest for an ideal physique. It has become incredibly popular in this rarefied world and some celebrities swear by its remarkable ability to help shed those unwanted pounds. It has proven a game-changer, with success stories plastered across tabloids from California to Cambodia.

But not all celebrities are willing to thank Wegovy (semaglutide) for their svelte figures. Some stars have been uncharacteristically coy about their experience with the famed weight loss injection. Some, on the other hand, have been very candid about their Wegovy use, praising it as a miracle on their weight loss journeys. So, let's take a look at a few of those celebs who’ve battled the bulge.

Oprah Winfrey

Oprah has battled with her weight very openly during her decades in the public spotlight. Over the years she has dedicated countless broadcast hours to detailing many, many different weight loss journeys and has often spoken about her own struggles. She has been a spokesperson for Weight Watchers International, and even bought a 10% chunk of the company in 2015. More recently, in May 2023, Oprah stepped out at a Louis Vuitton event in Italy, sporting a very slim figure. While Oprah hasn’t explicitly confirmed that her svelte new appearance is thanks to Wegovy, her company has recently announced their intention to move into offering prescription weight loss options.

Chris Pratt

Another A-lister who has openly praised the wonders of Wegovy is Chris Pratt. He is reported as saying that he has “…struggled with my weight for a long time until I found Wegovy. It has been a fantastic tool in my weight loss journey, and it's incredible how much it has improved my overall well-being." Pratt stars in the Guardians of the Galaxy film franchise where his impressive physique has been on full display. Well done to Chris!

Elon Musk

Love him or hate him, Elon Musk is no stranger to the effects of Wegovy. Following a noticeable change in the billionaire’s physique, Musk took to Twitter in October 2022 to say “Fasting” and “Wegovy” were responsible for his slimmed down appearance. He credited the drug with helping him to get “fit, ripped, and healthy”.

Golnesa ‘GG’ Gharachedaghi

One celebrity that has been very open about their use of the drug is Shahs of Sunset star Golnesa ‘GG’ Gharachedaghi. She has spoken at length about her treatment, praising semaglutide as being responsible for her 30 lbs weight loss. She has said "I did what all the people are doing […]. I'm on the weight-loss shots, honey, okay?". Refreshingly honest.

Conclusion

With all these amazing results and no shortage of celebrities endorsing Wegovy’s effectiveness, it's no wonder that it has become such a sought-after weight loss solution. Of course, as with any medical treatment, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution and this is especially true when it comes to weight loss. What’s right for me, might not be right for you and best person to discuss this with is a healthcare professional.
