Last October, he confided in the daily The Worldand he mentioned: “I’m on a diet, this time I’m doing keto [le régime cétogène]lipids but zero carbohydrates (…) I have a feast every month with friends. I like excess, so I’m careful“, confided the actor, author of a gigantic success with his film A little something extra.
The question of his weight is a recurring subject for the actor. In this same interview, he made no secret of it by conceding: “I know that my weight will constantly yo-yo.” Nonetheless, his work on his physique and his various businesses to melt away those extra pounds seem to have paid off. This is how he explained again in this interview: “For the first time in my life, at 37, I feel in place. I put down my backpack, this anxiety of not knowing what tomorrow will bring, I stopped chasing this need security.” An obvious allusion to , but also to his physical well-being, he who weighed more than 130 kilos…
Artus was worried about his health: “ThatThere is no such thing as a 90-year-old who weighs 150 kilos.”
It was before the shooting of the film The Pampawhich is scheduled for release in 2025. He then sported the good-natured appearance that we knew him to be, particularly in the series The Legends Office where viewers discovered it. “With my 140 kilos, I got into the habit of carrying around the image of the big, nice guy,” he confided last October to Liberation.

We already knew that to achieve his ends, the actor with him as he had revealed on Instagram by hiring the services of “Baptiste, the best coach in the world”: “He also does nutrition. I thank him from the bottom of my heart. He never gave up. He goes all the way. I love him” had written Artus despite the sessions of suffering that he had surely inflicted on him. But we now know that he used another method. He was thus questioned by The Parisian Weekend last December 20. Last question from our colleagues: “On stage, you say you spent 10,000 euros for a slimming treatment in Germany, is that true?” Response from the interested party: “. Food is my only vice, and I will always have to watch my weight. In life, if you take away sex and food, I’ll leave the project (smile).”
The mystery of his lost 35 kilos is therefore clarified. And Artus’ conclusion is obvious as to the gain that this cure brought him: “I live much better, I no longer have back pain, I breathe better, my blood tests are better,” he revealed to the Figaro. Benefits of sometimes having these little things called kilos less…
