Jackson Sheds Weight

Director [Peter Jackson](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/peter-jackson) has lost a staggering 32 kilograms (five stone/70 pounds) in weight in just 10 months.

[The Lord Of The Rings](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/the-lord-of-the-rings) director stunned journalists at promotional interviews for his new movie [King Kong](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/king-kong) with a svelte new look, a million miles from the overweight film-maker made famous by the fantasy trilogy.

Jackson claims the gruelling editing process on King Kong, which saw him working 21-hour days, helped him slim.

He says, "I just got tired of being overweight and unfit so I changed my diet from hamburgers to yoghurt and muesli and it seemed to work.

"It was just cutting out junk food."
