Viola Davis Sparks Ozempic Rumors From Some Fans, As Others Think She Looks Unrecognizable

The picture was shared by the X account @FilmUpdates, with many fans commenting on the Fences actress's weight loss, and some of those fans thinking she may have used controversial weight loss drug Ozempic to achieve her slimmer figure. "That Ozempic got her looking like a bobblehead," wrote one fan. "Maybe it's Maybelline, maybe it's Ozempic!" quipped another. "Ozempic. Liked her better with the weight," noted another. "Just about all of Hollywood looks to be on Ozempic right now," someone else wrote.

"Separate and apart from the obvious weight loss in this pic – Viola has always been an attractive woman with the most amazing skin," commented another, while a few others actually thought she looked unrecognizable! "Ahh, who is that? Seriously, who dat?" asked one X user, while another showed some concern, writing: "I hope she is okay. Drastic loss of weight should always raise concern."

What Has Viola Davis' Trainer Said In The Past?

While we don't know the exact number the Widows actress has recently lost, we do know that she likely worked very hard to achieve it based on what her trainer previously said about working out with her.

Gabriela Mclain, who has been working with the Woman King actress for many years, previously praised her "dedication" and "consistency" on Instagram, writing: "She doesn't complain, she always pushes to the limits, she's extremely humble and disciplined. It's always such a treat to train Viola. She is a perfect example of how hard work pays off."

Mclain detailed some of the exercises the pair did together, and explained to PopSugar in 2020 that they love doing full-body exercises three days a week. "Mondays, we usually do a cardio kickboxing-style workout. Focusing on her punches and kicks. Wednesdays, we work on strength, heavy weights, medicine balls, lots of legs, upper body, and always core," she explained, adding that they also did resistance bands, ankle weights, and kicks to "build strong and fast legs" on Fridays.
