BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND, August 02, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Hollywood super villain and ladies man, Jack Nicholson, has been caught rocking the boat with a few extra pounds on his latest holiday in the South of France.
The 72 year old has been 'papped' hauling himself out of the Atlantic Ocean before wobbling across the deck of the boat to find his seat.
The extra weight he's now carrying around his belly may keep him warm in the ocean and even help him float, but it's not doing his health any good.
An onlooker said: "It's obvious he still likes the party lifestyle even after all these years and the results certainly showed when he was pulling himself out of the water."
Nicholson is just one of many celebs who seem to be making obesity the "norm", following in the footsteps of the likes of James Corden, Dawn French and Peter Kay.
Recent reports have shown that 23 per cent of Brits are now classed as obese compared to just 11 per cent 10 years ago.
The Hospital Group, the country's leading obesity and weightloss provider, offers a wide range of obesity treatments including gastric band surgery, balloons and bypasses.
Last year The Group saw a staggering 73 per cent increase in the number of enquires made regarding weight loss surgery, making them bigger than the NHS.
Since The Hospital Group was established in 1992, it has grown from a small pharmaceutical company to one of the UK's foremost weight loss surgery providers.
