Half the man he used to be: Boy George shows off his stunning weight loss at theatre awards

It's no secret that he has struggled to keep off the pounds in recent years.
But it seems as though Boy George's New Year resolution was to drop the excess weight as he showcased his slimmed down frame at the 2013 WhatsOnStage.com Awards.
Pictured arriving on the red carpet at Palace Theatre in London on Sunday evening, the 51-year-old was almost unrecognisable.

Turning back the years, Boy George, real name George Alan O'Dowd, barely filled out his suit, which he clearly purchased in his heavier days.
Wearing a beige baker boy hat which was decorated with buttons and wool string, George added the usual touch of glamour to his appearance with a coating of make-up.
But choosing to do something a bit out of the ordinary, the singer highlighted his chiseled cheekbones with the help of his stubbly beard.
