The "Mallrats" star, who will soon join forces once again with Kevin Smith and Jason Lee in "Twilight of the Mallrats," admitted he's been on a diet more-or-less his entire life.
By the time he was 10, Suplee said he weighed over 200 pounds and his father put him on a liquid diet, but his mother took him off, and he "had a big upsurge of weight gain."
