Fans of Christina Hendricks speculate she’s on Ozempic as Mad Men star joins Hollywood’s big downsizing
The latest photos of Mad Men star Christina Hendricks have people talking.
The 48-year-old actress — whose former co-star Jon Hamm recently tied the knot — took to Instagram this weekend to share a trio of photos in a busty black dress.
Some of her 1.2 million followers didn’t hold back when they took to the comment section to highlight her slimmer figure.
Hendricks became the latest star to be accused of using prescription medication Ozempic to gain a thinner appearance.
One person wrote under the post, “Literally everyone is on Ozempic,” while another user urged Christina to “fire” the diabetes aid, which doubles as a weight-loss drug.

The Tennessee native modeled a midi dress with a plunging neckline that showed off her ample bust.
The dress features short, puffed sleeves and falls just below the knees for an understated look.
The star, who ended her 10-year marriage to Geoffrey Arend in 2019, wore a statement and made gold chandelier earrings.
She pulled her red-brown hair back into a low bun that rested above her neck.
She looked typically beautiful with thick, winged, black liquid eyeliner and rosy cheeks.
Hendricks rocked a nude manicure as she posed with one hand on her hip and the other holding a black clutch.
Hendricks starred in the popular series Mad Men, starring Jon Hamm as lead Don Draper and Elisabeth Moss as Peggy Olson
Shrinking: Hendricks became the latest star accused of using prescription medication Ozempic to gain a thinner appearance
As Ozempic use has skyrocketed in Tinseltown in recent months, some stars have admitted to using it, while others have adamantly denied it.
In April, Dolores Catania of the Real Housewives of New Jersey revealed that she had been given a similar drug to Ozempic called Mounjaro.
After her admission, Catania’s doctor Rocio Salas-Whalen defended her decision to prescribe the medication.
The doctor said there were several reasons why a patient might be given a weight-loss drug.
“Anytime we see someone who we don’t think they need the medication, unless you’re their doctor, you don’t know their medical history,” she said.
Salas-Whalen went on to state that the general public should not rush to judge when a person admits to taking the medication.
“Nobody can assume just by looking at someone that they don’t need it or they’re doing it for the wrong reasons,” she said.
Ozempic is widely touted as an easy way to lose weight in a short period of time.
The AMC show ran for seven seasons from 2007 to 2015. Pictured is Hendricks with the cast in 2010

In addition, Shahs of Sunset star Golnesa ‘GG’ Gharachedaghi said she lost weight with the help of the product.
And Caroline Manzo’s daughter, Lauren Manzo, has also turned to the drug.
“You’ve seen me struggle with this since I was 20 years old, and it’s been really hard for me, and I’ve lost a lot of weight because of that whole Ozempic thing,” she shared with Page six.
On the other hand, others like Vanderpump Rules star Brittany Cartwright and RHOBH’s Kyle Richards have denied using the drug.
When one follower said “omg ozempic” on an Instagram post she shared, Cartwright replied, “It’s actually the .5 zoom on the iPhone camera lol.”
The drug acts like a hormone in the brain that causes people to feel less hungry and slows down the clearing of food from the stomach, leading to weight loss.
