This is hillarious. You included someone who doesn't age well who is, well... deceased? How funny is that? I bet he really looks bad now, AFTER BEING DEAD FOR 9 YEARS!

Wow... I still think he looks good in the "after" shot. He is distinguished and most women want a man with some meat on his bones, not some skinny 98 pound dweeb. Duh...

80 years? With ice-cream, whoppers and the like? Come on guys, how many carrot nibblers die with 55? Just saying, it really does NOT matter what you do, as long as you are happy! All that health crap won't change when it is your time!

I believe what you are seeing in these pictures is the normal process of aging. I think the author should be ashamed. And all of you who are laughing, let me tell you what...it won't be so funny when it happens to you.

I think it is sad that just because someone has added weight, they are on the "did not age well" list.

It's about letting yourself go. Gaining that much weight is extremely unhealthy.

At 47 with 2 adult children, I weighed 117 ... and then ZAP -- in 3 months zoomed to 177 - and then up to 200 ... and at 74 I'm down to 191.2.

I think it is sad he is not around for his extended family, but if he was happy who are we to criticize him...he is the one who had to live in that body and look at himself in the mirror everyday..RIP

If he didn't gain that weight, he wouldn't have been picked for Godfather.
Marlon Brando
For a while there (the 1950s, to be exact), method actor and civil rights activist extraordinaire Marlon Brando was the hottest thing to walk the Earth. Fast-forward 30-plus years and, well, it’s a whole different story. During his lifetime, the mumbling thesp lived hard and ate hard, ballooning up to 300 pounds at one point in the mid-1990s.
A diabetic and a long-time crash dieter/binge eater, Brando's relationship with food, particularly ice cream, is the stuff of legends. Seriously, the trivia section of Brando's IMDb page dedicated to his eating habits is not for the weak of heart: Homemade Mounds Bars, 3 a.m. hot-dog runs, contraband Whoopers, pint after pint of ice cream, mountains of pancakes and loaves of bread stuffed with bacon.
Wrote the actor in his 1994 memoir "Brando: Songs My Mother Taught Me": "Food has always been my friend. When I wanted to feel better or had a crisis in my life, I opened the icebox. Most of my life, I weighed about 170 pounds, though when I had my nervous breakdown in New York, I dropped to 157. After forty, my metabolism shifted gears, but I kept on eating as much as ever while spending more and more time in a sedentary relationship with a good book."
Despite his love affair with high-calorie snacks, Brando, who died in 2004 at the age of 80 from pulmonary fibrosis, had time for a super-active romantic life with men, women and housekeepers alike, leaving behind 11 children and more than 30 grandchildren, Courtney Love being one of them apparently. Color us not entirely surprised.
