An actor Harvey Fierstein revealed that he lost more than 120 pounds using the weight loss drug, shedding weight gained during the COVID-19 isolation.

Tony Award-winning actor, best known for his starring role in "mrs. Doubtfire", he shared that the experience was different because he no longer felt like he was on a diet.

Harvey Fierstein discovered his transformation while launching the Harvey Fierstein Theater Lab, a performance space in the Performing Arts Library designed to inspire artists.

Fierstein recently lost a few pounds and revealed that the secret behind his incredible transformation is "drugs."

The Tony Award-winning actor, 70, humorously dismissed Ozempico before admitting he used "Zepbound" to aid in his weight loss journey.

In conversation with Page SixFierstein revealed that he gained significant weight during the COVID-19 lockdown, peaking at 310 pounds. However, after using the slimming drug, he managed to lose 120 kilograms.

"I existed on the screen of my Zoom," he said. "I wrote my autobiography ('Last Night I Was Better: A Memoir'), I did all the press for the autobiography," he explained.

Although he regained 15 kilograms, he now maintains his current weight.

Fierstein revealed that he had a long history of weight fluctuations, admitting, "I've been skinny before, that's the sad part. I've been skinny, I've been fat, I've been skinny, I've been skinny. Fat."

Fierstein noted that his recent weight loss experience was different from previous attempts, which likely involved dieting.

"What's different is what the drug does for you, which is that I don't feel like I'm on a diet," he explained. "I feel like a normal person. I can go to dinner with friends and not have to eat every piece of bread on the table and then not go for ice cream when I'm done with dinner."

"I know what it's like to be full like a normal person," added the actor.

He shared his perspective on weight, saying, "People don't understand that being fat is not a choice. It's something that's wrong with your body and it's causing your body to malfunction."

Fierstein also expressed strong support for the drug, calling himself a "big believer."

Fierstein shared his weight loss journey while attending the opening of the Harvey Fierstein Theater Lab at the Performing Arts Library.

The newly opened performance space, designed by David Rockwell and funded by Fierstein, aims to nurture up-and-coming artists.

The lab offers access to an extensive collection of Broadway and Off-Broadway plays and a special feature: a piano once owned by Fierstein's mother.

"The idea that in a public library, free to the public, it's this room that you can go in and create," the "Mulan" star shared. "Or find out if you are a creator. It's not about creating something, it's about creating someone."

Reflecting on the significance of the project, Fierstein revealed that he hopes the performance space will allow aspiring artists to turn their "dreams into reality."

He said: "From my earliest days of theater research, I have found the Performing Arts Library's invaluable collection of scripts, scores, programs and videos an indispensable source of inspiration."

"I hope that our theater lab can provide a cocoon where countless artists can develop their dreams into reality so that one day they can get out and fly," added Fierstein, per Us Weekly. "Knowing that this unique resource will be free for everyone excites me to no end."

Fierstein, best known for his role as Frank Hillard in "Mrs. Doubtfire," played a key role in one of the film's most memorable transformations.

Based on Anne Fine's 1987 novel Alias ​​Madam Doubtfire, the film follows Daniel Hillard, played by the late Robin Williams, who disguises himself as an elderly British nanny Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire to stay close to his children after his wife Miranda, played by Sally Field, petition for divorce.

Fierstein's character, Frank, helps Daniel create the iconic nanny mask.

Williams tragically died by suicide in 2014 at the age of 63 after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Fierstein continues to pay tribute to him, writing in 2019: "We lost this precious gem 5 years ago. I miss him."
