Boy George weight loss: 51-year-old transforms

Boy George debuted shocking weight loss when he attended an event in London on Feb. 17. According to Mail Online, Boy George was almost unrecognizable when he stepped out for the 2013 WhatsOnStage.com Awards. He looked younger, healthier, and completely different -- in a good way.

On the red carpet, Boy George really turned heads. He barely filled out his suit, which was baggy all around, but he looked comfortable taking his new body out for a public stroll. His make-up was tame (more glamorous even) compared to what he normally wears and he really focused on making himself look like a model... and believe it or not, that's what he looked like.

Boy George's weight loss was really noticeable in his face. The way that he chose to accent his eyes and contour his cheek bones made the effect more dramatic. If it wasn't for his signature face ink, people really may not have recognized him at all. He showed off some facial scruff -- something else that is new for him -- and he actually looked really good... some may even say he looked s-e-x-y.

Naturally Boy George isn't everyone's cup of tea, but most people who are seeing his transformation are finding themselves actually doing a double take. One may wonder how Boy George lost all the weight -- well he recently tweeted the answer. He's following the Freer Nutrition plan.
