Martin Lawrence Drops 50 Pounds — And Now He Looks Like the Marty We Grew Up With
Martin Lawrence is back — and not just in the spotlight, but in the gym.
Media Take Out has learned that the legendary comedian and actor has lost more than 50 pounds, and fans are saying he now looks like the classic “Marty Mar” we all remember from the Martin and Bad Boys days.
Over the years, Martin’s weight had reportedly climbed to over 250 pounds. Sources close to the star say that his weight gain was due to a combination of “good living” and side effects from medication he was taking for mental health. But recently, Martin decided it was time for a change — and he put in the work.
Now, he’s said to be under 200 pounds, and looking healthier, sharper, and more energized than he has in years.
And he has a lot to celebrate.
Martin is happily married to Roberta Moradfar, a nurse and entrepreneur. The two tied the knot in a private ceremony, and Roberta has been a steady, supportive presence in his life. Friends say she has been instrumental in helping him stay focused on his health and career.
And speaking of career — Martin is not slowing down.
After relaunching his movie career with new projects in development, he is also preparing for a nationwide stand-up comedy tour. That means fans will get to see Martin back on stage doing what he does best — making people laugh.
Between the weight loss, the marriage, and the career comeback, it looks like 2026 is shaping up to be a big year for Martin Lawrence.
One thing is clear:
Marty Mar is back — and he’s looking better than ever.
