Eric Andre, 40, says he lost 40 pounds for his show but would NOT do it again because ‘starving’ made him grumpy: ‘There’s a reason why skinny people are b****es’
Eric Andre spoke about undergoing a complete body transformation for the sixth season of his show during an interview with GK which was released on Thursday.
The 40-year-old comedian said that while he was proud of how he looked and felt after a major health kick, he wouldn’t repeat this in the future.
The artist, who was previously linked to Emily Ratajkowski, joked that “there’s a reason skinny people are b****es and fat people are gay.”
He continued by expressing that “skinny people have a goddamn attitude because they starve.”
Andre, who stars on the hit Adult Swim program The Eric Andre Show, subsequently commented that he would rather eat his favorite foods than stick to a long-term diet plan.

I say stay fat. If you’re fat or chubby, stay that way. I felt great…but it wasn’t worth cutting out fries,” he said.
While the comedian said it “felt fun fitting into all my old jeans and shorts,” he also recalled going through mood swings as he transformed his physique.
“My assistant came up to me and asked me [how] I feel damn hungry! I remember being annoyed,” he said.
Andre had previously put on a lot of weight before filming the fifth series of episodes of his show, and after losing weight for the sixth time, ruled out the possibility of making any more drastic changes to his body.
“Last season I put on 40 pounds. This season I am torn and shredded. It wasn’t fun either,” he said.
The artist went on to state that after going on a strict diet while filming the new episodes of his show, he quickly resumed his former eating and drinking habits.
He recalled, “I’m not much of a health freak. In fact, as soon as we packed up, I went to Prince Street Pizza and ate an entire pepperoni pizza. And then I went to Portugal and drank my weight in wine.’
Andre told it too Men’s health: “When I came back, I stepped on the scale and undone all six months of work.”

The actor’s program initially premiered on Adult Swim in May 2012 and quickly gained a cult following in response to his surreal take on late-night talk shows.

The show has also had guest appearances from Seth Rogen, Lauren Conrad, and Jimmy Kimmel, among others.
The sixth season of The Eric Andre Show premiered last Monday with a few episodes starring Lil Nas X and Jaleel White.
