Rosie O’Donnell is embracing a healthier lifestyle as she begins a new chapter living abroad. The 63-year-old comedian recently shared a photo of herself performing standup comedy, revealing the results of her weight loss journey that started over two years ago with the help of Mounjaro, a medication for Type 2 diabetes that also aids weight loss.
On May 23, Rosie posted on Instagram, “I can’t believe this is me now,” along with hashtags referencing Mounjaro, weight loss, and body dysmorphia.
Rosie opened up about her health progress earlier in March, two months after moving to Ireland with her youngest child, Clay, 12. In a TikTok video, she explained that since starting Mounjaro, she has lost significant weight. “I’ve lost more weight here. I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes and one of the side effects is you lose weight,” she said.
The actress and mother of five also shared how shopping for clothes in Dublin was a surprising experience. “I’m one of those people who’s always had a weight issue, and now that I’m a size large instead of an XL or 2XL, I find it shocking,” she said.
Another surprise for Rosie was being able to wear pants without an elastic waistband for the first time in years. “I’ve been wearing elastic-waist pants for a very long time,” she noted. When she tried on regular pants, she initially doubted the size comparison to American standards.
Alongside taking medication, Rosie has made changes to her diet. Since moving to Ireland, she no longer has a chef like she did while living in Los Angeles, so she has taken control of her own meals. Recently, she posted a TikTok showing a healthy plate featuring vegetables, fruits, nuts, cheese, chicken breast, and sausages. She called the video part of her “influencer era.”
Rosie’s openness about her weight loss journey and health challenges offers insight into managing Type 2 diabetes and the impact of new medications like Mounjaro. Despite the changes, Rosie remains candid about the ongoing work to improve both her physical and mental health.
