how much weight has Forrest Whitaker lost?

[leftofthedial]

I'm watching Shield and he is a bare shadow of himself

Does he have some horrific wasting disease?

1. Here's a shot of him from late 2005

He doesn't look too bad here, has he lost a lot more than this? New photos seem a little hard to dig up..

2. The Shield is on FX right now

in the background as I'm DU-procrastinating from the song I was writing. He looked W-A-Y skinny.

3. Just turned to the channel - you're right.

He's a good 50 pounds off the photo I posted above. Looks healthy tho.

That's quite a drop in under 6 months, however. Wow.

On edit: I don't know if this is relevant, but Whitaker's left eye is drooping.

8. I like Forrest Whitaker.

His character on the Shield, though, is the guy I like to hate. The next few episodes will be very interesting. He basically snapped in the last episode. I'm wondering if he's going to end up dead or in the nuthouse.
