Jacob Batalon who plays Ned Leeds in Spider-Man is now boasting a huge weight loss on Instagram. He’s the best friend that everybody loves to love in Marvel’s big-screen Avengers and Spider-Man series, and next time he hits the studio, it will be with an all-new look.
Jacob Batalon just turned 24 on October 9, and he celebrated it on Instagram with a weight loss announcement. He’s calling it the “Kobe year.”
Although he plays the cuddly best friend we all wished we had, the cuddly part of his life was also a frequent source of pain. Body shaming became an issue for him in the very skinny world of Hollywood. However his recent Instagram post decided to shame the body shamers. Now, after some incredible weight loss, Jason Batalon has never looked better, from the inside out.
On his birthday Instagram post, he said,
“Don’t try to get at me, imma be vibin all day. People can stop telling me to lose weight now.”
