Viola Davis is one of the most beautiful women in the entertainment industry. We’d say the world, but we haven’t met every single woman. No matter what role she’s playing, the 59-year-old radiates a beauty that only comes from life experience and self confidence. We usually prefer to focus on her exceptional talent, but a recent photo of her attending the 2024 LACMA Art+Film Gala has social media talking about the “Suicide Squad” star’s possible weight loss.

We don’t know for sure if she’s lost weight, or if it’s just the picture making it look that way, but the internet certainly has its thoughts on the matter. Several users responded to the post with their thoughts on the actress’ possible new appearance. Just so it’s clear, the overwhelming majority of the replies stressed how “gorgeous” she was, with one person proclaiming that she was aging “Like fine wine.”

Someone else pointed out that the “Fences” star’s stunning looks is nothing new, posting, “Separate and apart from the obvious weight loss in this pic - Viola has always been an attractive woman with the most amazing skin.”

Another user didn’t think her possible weight loss was notable, writing on X, “I mean she may be down a few but she’s always been in great shape. And not for ‘The Woman King,’ like she goes hard on her fitness.”

Referencing Hollywood’s recent weight loss craze, one person wrote, “That Ozempic got her looking like a bobblehead.”

Another fan reminded everyone that she recently dominated the big screen in “The Woman King,” writing, “Viola Davis played a whole Warrior General but people jumped to ozempic in the comments- that’s crazy.”

In case you hadn’t heard, the EGOT winner recently filmed the action movie “G20.” In the film she plays the President of the United States as she defends the G20 summit from terrorists. It’s not uncommon for these type of action roles to require intense training and fitness, which would explain any weight loss or other body changes.
