Zach Galifianakis reveals dramatic weight loss at Birdman premiere

THE Hangover star was looking more Bradley Cooper, less Alan when he hit the red carpet for a film premiere over the weekend.

LOOKS like Zach Galifianakis has been busy shedding the kilos this year.

The Hangover star was looking more Bradley Cooper, less Alan when he hit the red carpet for the premiere of Birdman in New York on Saturday.

The 45-year-old funnyman was a shadow of his former self at the event for his upcoming project, which was his first public outing in a year.

The Hollywood actor was also looking every inch the trendy hipster, sporting jaw-length curly locks to match his signature scruffy beard.

When asked about his weight loss, Galifianakis told E! News jokingly, “I’m dying,” adding that his suit jacket was a “ladies [size] 50.”

Galifianakis started losing weight last year and opened up to Conan O’Brien about what prompted him to drop the kilos.

“I stopped drinking and I just kind of put the weight off … I was having a lot of vodka with sausage … delicious but bad for you.

“I was getting into too much trouble with the drinking, so I just kind of stopped.”

He still has his trademark facial hair.
