Fans of Amazon Prime Video’s hit series “The Boys” were taken aback when they saw Laz Alonso, who portrays Mother’s Milk (MM), in the fourth season.
The actor’s dramatically altered appearance sparked speculation about possible plastic surgery.
However, the truth behind Alonso’s transformation is far from surgical- it’s a story of dedicated weight loss and lifestyle changes.
Alonso’s slim new look in Season 4 is the result of significant weight loss between filming the third and fourth seasons.
The actor himself addressed the speculation, sharing insights into his journey on social media.
When fans commented on his weight loss, Alonso humorously admitted that he “had to trim it down” after getting “carried away with too much pizza.”
But pizza wasn’t the only thing on Alonso’s mind.
The actor revealed that he took a DNA test to understand his body’s needs better.
“What I loved about this DNA test is that it told me exactly what vitamins I needed, what supplements I needed, and what I didn’t need,” Alonso explained.
This personalized approach to nutrition allowed him to focus on giving his body precisely what it required.
“Anything that you put in your body that your body doesn’t need, your body is just gonna excrete, but it just puts your body under unnecessary stress, having to filter out stuff that you didn’t need in the first place,” he said.
Alonso credited that DNA test with revolutionizing his approach to health and supplementation, emphasizing that he now only consumes what his body is deficient in.
The actor’s commitment to his fitness isn’t new.
In a 2017 Facebook post, Alonso shared his goal of regaining the physique he had in his 20s.
He mentioned dropping over an inch from his waits after just a month of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts.
While Alonso’s weight loss has been drastic enough to spark plastic surgery rumors, his new look is clearly the result of hard work, informed nutritional choices, and dedication to his health goals.
