‘Not an overnight thing’: Christopher Schwarzenegger on his dramatic weight loss transformation
“It was a big process,” said Christopher, the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, during a panel discussion alongside host Jeff Beacher and Kelly Osbourne. He explained that he began his weight loss journey in 2019 while he was living in Australia, as reported by People.
“I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal] like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,' and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities,” Christopher recalled, adding that his weight held him back from skydiving.

The University of Michigan graduate shared, “Weirdly enough, I gave up bread for Lent,” adding, “I was like, 'Well, if I'm giving up bread, I might as well just take the opportunity and I'm a good Catholic boy, so I'm not going to break it.' And that was my one rule. I was like, 'I'm not going to break Lent.' And so I lost 30 pounds just through that.”
