Summary

“I could create this other identity that would distract people from how fat I am, and talking about that, or poking fun at me.” Ethan Suplee has starred in movies and TV shows like Remember the Titans, My Name is Earl, American History X, and over 40 other titles, and just recently launched a podcast called American Glutton. On today's podcast, Ethan and Lewis have a therapeutic conversation and Ethan really opens up in a big way. He was willing to take a deep dive into his past to dissect some of the most crucial moments in his childhood, acting career, and health journey so that he could share with us the knowledge that he’s gained along the way.
