Remember Louie From Remember The Titans? Big Fat Dude Also In American History X? You Gotta See This Motherfucker Now
Ethan Suplee — 0.001% chance you know that name. Like unless you are an absolute cinema buff or Mr. and Mrs Suplee, that name means nothing to you. But Ethan Suplee is right up at the top of the "That Dude From That Thing" list. The actors you absolutely know and love that had big parts in some of your favorite movies, but you've never even considered what their name is. The guys where you see a pic and instantly say "OH that guy! I love that guy!" Some other examples just off the top of my head here — James Cromwell, James Rebhorn, Stephen Root, David Morse, Pete Postlethwaite, Keith David. Maybe you know a couple of those, but at least one of those names will give you the reaction I'm talking about when you Google them.
I'm guessing that for Ethan Suplee, the number one name you have for him is Louie Lastik the lovable lineman from Remember The Titans.
For me, it was actually Boy Meets World which is kind of weird:
And then of course, there was everyone's favorite White Supremacist from American History X:
That's Ethan Suplee. Just so we're all on the same page — you can go back to calling him whatever character name you prefer. I just wanted you to see that the name chicks around the world are calling him these days is "daddy".
That's fucking fat Louie!
Normally I hate these type of posts because it's always like, "Remember This Person From 20 Years Ago? Well This Is Them Now!" and it's just the person aged by 20 years. It's like people get amazed by the very simple fact of life that as time passes our bodies grow and faces change. But in this case I actually did not believe that this was the same person.
Do people still say "glow up"? If so, this is an all-time glow up.
This is how I think of "Ethan Suplee":
Now he is this:
Man. Good for him. We got what we needed out of him — a couple of iconic characters. Their fat asses will live on on Netflix forever. Glad he was able to get fucking ripped and hot and healthy in real life. He went from eating your girlfriend to fucking her.
PS,
Fun fact: Ethan dropped all this weight because Jim Caviezel came up to him on an airplane and told him he was going to go to hell for being fat and not emulating Jesus Christ.
So what did we learn today?
1) The real name of the fat guy from all those movies
2) Jim Caviezel…kind of a fucking prick.
