Timothy Spall, 66, continues to show off his incredible weight loss in plaid ensemble as he attends Sliding Doors 25 anniversary event
Actor Timothy Spall continued to show off his weight loss as he attended an event on Wednesday to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the movie Sliding Doors.
The Harry Potter star, 66, looked smart in plaid trousers, worn with a contrast shirt, waistcoat and tweed jacket during the screening at Notting Hill’s Electric Cinema.
Timothy started a weight-loss regimen several years ago and in 2019 spoke to the Radio Times about his transformation.
He said: ‘I wanted to change my lifestyle and lose weight and it has done what I always hoped it would.
“As a character actor, it’s put me in a position where I’m not constrained by being a certain shape. I’m no longer that fatherly round guy. It feels liberating on many levels,” he continued.

While at the cinema, Timothy watched a panel discussion of John Hannah, who plays Gwyneth Paltrow’s love interest James in the movie.
John took the stage with writer and director Peter Howitt and film producer Philippa Braithwaite.
They discussed the ups and downs of making the iconic film and how Peter had come up with the idea when he took the subway home one day.
He admitted that some of the filming – it was his first time directing – had been fraught and at one point Gwyneth, then just 24 years old, had said to him, “Let it go, Pete.”
Timothy was in good company that night, as Cheryl Baker, Andrea McLean and Jane Horrocks also showed up to watch the movie.
Martin Clunes also came to show his support – he is married to the film producer Philippa and gave Timothy a big hug when he saw him.
The event was hosted by Jennie Becker, founder and host of the Sliding doors podcast discussing life-changing moments.
Recent guests have included Bradley Walsh, Martin Kemp, Dr. Alex George, Dame Arlene Phillips.
Iconic: Sliding Doors – starring Gwyneth Paltrow and John Hannah – tells the story of a woman’s love life and career, both of which, unknown to her, depend on whether she makes it to the train or not. We see it from two sides, in parallel – it was released in 1998

Last year, Timothy was photographed with a badly bruised face as he filmed scenes for the new BBC true crime drama The Sixth Commandment in Bristol.
Filming took place on a quiet residential street for the new four-part series about the 2015 death of Peter Farquhar (played by Timothy) with Ann Moore-Martin (Anne Reid) in Buckinghamshire.
Ben, now 31, killed 69-year-old Peter to inherit his home and money after tricking him into thinking he was going crazy after a bout of gaslighting.
He was ordered in October 2019 to serve at least 36 years behind bars after being found guilty of the murder of Mr Farquhar following a trial at Oxford Crown Court.
