TV star, 51, looks unrecognisable as he attends Warner Bros party after his vegan diet resulted in dramatic weight loss – can YOU guess who it is?

He found fame in the Noughties starring in a hit TV series and with his personable manner he gathered millions of fans around the world. 

Yet in recent years he has not been seen in the spotlight as much. 

On Thursday, however, he made a rare public appearance as he attended the Warner Bros. Television Group’s Fall TV Season Celebration in Los Angeles. 

However, he looked virtually unrecognisable as he sported a new look, having lost a considerable amount of weight after adopting a plant based diet in a bid to slim down.  

So can you guess who it is? 

That’s right, it’s Lost star Jorge Garcia!

Making a rare red carpet appearance, Jorge looked unrecognisable 19 years after starring in the ABC series as Hugo ‘Hurley’ Reyes.

Sporting a slimmer figure, he donned a single-breasted grey suit, teamed with a blue patterned shirt.

The star finished his look with a pair of shiny black shoes as he posed for snaps on the red carpet. 

The last time the actor made a red carpet appearance was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the series and the premiere of Magnum P.I. at Queen’s Surf Beach in September 2018 in Waikiki, Hawaii.

He now typically enjoys a quiet life away from the spotlight with wife Rebecca Birdsall, who he met on the Five-O set.

Throughout his career, Jorge has hit headlines over his yo-yo dieting, once admitting that he had been encouraged to try to lose weight for health reasons.

He began to expose himself to health problems such as Diabetes 2 and heart disease which could ultimately cause a heart attack.

But five years ago, he decided to go vegan, removing all animal-based products from his diet. 

There were also further reports that he followed a Nooch diet, which is powered by deactivated yeast, and eating lots of spinach, other vegetables, and protein. 

Thanks to the strict diet and workout plan, Jorge reportedly lost almost 100lbs from his 400lb frame.

At his heaviest in 2014, it was reported that a source close to the actor said that his loved ones were ‘terrified’ of him dying if he didn’t shift his lifestyle.

Jorge’s friend told the National Enquirer: ‘We’re talking Type 2 diabetes or, worse, a heart attack,’ 

They continued: ‘No one wants to see that happen to him.’

‘Jorge is one of the nicest, gentlest souls you’d ever meet, but he just can’t keep the pounds off,’ the source added.

In a March 2006 issue of Maxim, he divulged that he had lost 30 pounds, after sparking health concerns due to his size.

‘I can afford to not live on rum and burritos and take better care of myself,’ Garcia told the magazine. ‘Besides, there were enough people who were waiting for my character to lose weight as a result of being stranded on a desert island.’
