Bridget Fonda looks even slimmer now after her dramatic weight loss amid Hollywood's Ozempic craze
Actress Bridget Fonda glowed when she was spotted out and about in Los Angeles this week, after her dramatic weight loss of recent months. After working with a string of top-flight directors like Francis Ford Coppola and Quentin Tarantino, she suffered an accident in the 2000s and left movies behind. Although she is married to Danny Elfman, one of the most famous composers in the entertainment industry, she has not acted since 2002. She gained weight in the years since she started leading a more private life - but in more recent months, observers have noticed her reduced frame. Her trimmed-down physique has set off speculation, given the Ozempic craze sweeping Hollywood, but fans have also theorized that she might have shed the pounds naturally by way of diet and exercise. When she surfaced on Friday, the 61-year-old looked even slimmer than before, draping her lither figure in an olive t-shirt and black trousers with a flannel shirt. Gathering her hair up into a bun, she could be glimpsed refreshing herself with an iced beverage amid the soaring summer temperatures in Los Angeles. Bridget hails from an exalted Hollywood dynasty, as the granddaughter of Old Hollywood stalwart Henry Fonda and the niece of Jane Fonda. She has not publicly commented on her weight loss, which many fans suspect may have simply been the result of lifestyle changes like altering her eating habits. Meanwhile, a raft of celebrities have admitted to taking weight-loss drugs, from Meghan Trainor and Sharon Osbourne to Amy Schumer and Rebel Wilson. Bridget and her husband, Hollywood composer Danny Elfman, have not been pictured together in years, fueling rumors about the state of their marriage. However there has been no indication in the publicly available Los Angeles court records that the pair have gotten divorced. In recent years Danny has denied a spate of sexual harassment allegations, including from a former protégée who claimed he served her a martini glass of semen. Danny, who is particularly known for his longstanding professional collaboration with Tim Burton, married Bridget in 2003 and welcomed a son with her in 2005. Publicly available court records in Los Angeles show no sign that Fonda has divorced her husband Danny Elfman, whom she married in 2003 In February 2003, during her engagement, Bridget fractured her vertebrae in a car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway. The injury prompted her to withdraw from the entertainment industry and lead a life outside the spotlight, which she has done ever since. After beginning her career aged five alongside her father Peter Fonda in the 1969 film Easy Rider, she last acted in a 2002 TV movie called Snow Queen. In between, she was directed by such names as Francis Ford Coppola in The Godfather Part III and Quentin Tarantino in Jackie Brown. A couple of years ago, when an interviewer asked her if she might ever stage a comeback, she replied: 'No, I don't think so, it's too nice being a civilian.'

'80s movie star who worked with Tom Cruise looks unrecognizable on rare outing... can you guess who it is?
This actor rose to prominence in the 1980s, and worked with Tom Cruise and Quentin Tarantino. He was also famously fired from an iconic film. On Monday, the star, now 63, looked unrecognizable while enjoying a rare outing in Manhattan's West Village neighborhood. The California native — who once dated Jackie Brown star Bridget Fonda — sported a cartoon T-shirt paired with blue jeans and sneakers. He wore a faded hat over his grown-out silver hair and carried a backpack. He also sported a pair of sunglasses. This film star, who also famously played a drug dealer in a Quentin Tarantino movie, was previously nominated for a Golden Globe. Can you guess who it is? That's right, it's Eric Stoltz! Stoltz was famously hired to play Marty McFly in the 1985 film Back to the Future. After more than a month of filming, he was fired and replaced with Michael J. Fox. Director Robert Zemeckis had determined that his serious method acting style didn't match the film's comedic tone. The film transformed Fox into one of the biggest stars of the Eighties. 'He's a magnificent actor, but his comedy sensibilities were very different from what I had written with Bob Gale,' Zemeckis said of Stoltz. 'And he and I were just never able to make that work.' Zemeckis said he showed Steven Spielberg the first five weeks of footage and told him they weren't 'getting the laughs I was hoping we would get.' Said Spielberg: 'He was absolutely correct so I had to make this horrific decision which was heartbreaking for everybody.' That's right, it's Eric Stoltz! He was famously hired to play Marty McFly in the 1985 film Back to the Future, before getting fired; Pictured (L) in a still from the film's footage Director Robert Zemeckis had determined that Stoltz's serious method acting style didn't match the film's comedic tone; Stoltz seen in a still from Some Kind Of Wonderful (1987) While Fox enjoyed a soaring career after Back to the Future, before revealing his Parkinson's diagnosis in 1998, Stoltz carved out a varied career with a series of supporting roles; (L) Stoltz pictured in 2024, (R) Fox seen in 2019 Stoltz went on to enjoy some success with the 1985 drama Mask, for which he nabbed a Golden Globe nomination; Seen in a still from the film While Michael went on to become a hugely popular star, Stoltz had to settle with a career full of bit parts. But he did enjoy some success with 1985 drama Mask, for which he nabbed a Golden Globe nomination, the same year that back to the Future became one of the highest grossing blockbusters of all time. He also starred as Keith Nelson in Some Kind of Wonderful (1987). In 1994, he played a drug dealer named Lance in Tarantino's iconic film, Pulp Fiction. He also appeared as Ethan Valhere in the 1996 hit film Jerry Maguire, which starred Tom Cruise. He has since had small roles in The Butterfly Effect and hit TV show Grey's Anatomy where he played a serial killer. Though he is now married to Bernadette Moley, Stoltz once dated daughter of actor Peter Fonda, Bridget. She was a prominent figure in Hollywood during the late 1980s and 1990s, starring in films like The Godfather Part III, Single White Female, and Jackie Brown. The two met in 1986, and started dating in 1990. In 1997 they attended the premiere of Jackie Brown together at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City. Their relationship ended in 1998. Eric went on to marry Bernadette in 2005.
