as someone who can’t be bothered to watch Lost, what are some of the reasons given for him remaining fat?

Asking Lost to give you answers is the reason none of us talk about Lost.

The opening text image did explicitly say that the writers did come up with explanations.

He keeps finding food stashes. Finds a food pantry in a bunker (start of season 2). Then a pallet of food dropped by helicopter (mid or late season 2). Then they made it a reoccurring drop delivery even though there hadn’t been reoccurring food drops the whole first season. No one found any of the drops nor saw a helicopter even though it was right by the camp/hatch. But it was apparently happening the whole time.
It still was never clear who was having the food drops made but maybe dharma initiative. Since they knew Desmond was living in the bunker and the food was supposedly for him.
Also it’s a pretty good show. The last season was confusing and misunderstood.
But the rest is solid. Good acting. Interesting characters. Honestly worth watching.

Is this implying that everyone on those stranded-on-a-desert-island shows are just actors and they stay in hotels and live comfortably when the camera isn’t on them?

I just assumed The Skipper on Giligan’s Island ate a lot of coconuts.

There were actually ten people on the Minnow but The Skipper is also a cannibal.

The Skipper was 60’s fat, Hurley is 21st century fat.
The difference is about one entire person.

He probably didn’t get paid millions for his first major gig
SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Maybe not the first season or two. But he was a series regular for six seasons for what at the time was one of the most popular television shows, ever. His character had unique staying power in that show.

You could say he lends that weight to the role
Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
But it clearly worked out for him, I mean we see him on new media all the time! What, you can’t think of anything? Just Google his name!

I mean he was part of the main cast on Hawai Five-0 for like 6 seasons too. Credited with 130 episodes on IMDb. Dude’s probably loaded and only takes occasional roles for fun nowadays.

If he was smart about investing it, he probably earned enough to retire and live at a middle-class level for the rest of his life. But, he’s probably not loaded. He wasn’t ever one of the main stars of a show, he was always a side character. Plus, lifestyle inflation is a big problem for actors. Say he was making $400k per year on Hawaii Five-O, he probably wasn’t living a modest $80k/year lifestyle and putting away 80% of his earnings.
I would bet he’s still out looking for work so he can live in a house in LA with a pool up in the hills, not in a 1 bedroom apartment in the city.

I think you need to do a certain amount of roles per year or whatever to stay in the actors guild.

I literally thought that was Steve from Gamers Nexus.

He is the only thing I remember about that show. Then again, I have never really watched it

The guy who played Sam in game of thrones said he would ask people, who pointed out tye similar plot hole with his character, something along the lines of “you know I don’t actually live on the wall right?” I don’t want to search for the clip to find the exact quote so sorry if that’s too far off.

Also something along “theres living dead, giants, dragons, magic, and the only thing you find unrealistic is someone not losing weight?”
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Becauae there is no in-fiction reason why that would be the case. Dragons aren’t realistic, but not losing weight is internally inconsistent with the rules of the world as presented to us.
