The use of “fat suit” is not uncommon for actors in both movies and series. according to IMDb It has been used in several major roles, including Courteney Cox (57) in “Friends”, Mila Kunis in “That 70s Show” (38) and Will Smith (53) in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” .

Among other things, “American Horror Story” actress Sarah Paulson (46) has previously stated to Los Angeles Times that she regrets using a “fat suit” when she starred in “Impeachment: American Crime Story”.
