Trimmer Kevin Smith still prefers ‘fat clothes’ …

Filmmaker and comedian Kevin Smith made headlines in February 2010 when he was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight for being too fat to fly. He chatted about it last night in a high energy interview that prompted Joy Behar to ask: “Are you on Amphetamines?”

The incident had such a profound effect on the guy that he released 24 video statements on YouTube to describe his ordeal. But that was then and this is now.

Smith was a guest last night on CNN’s The Joy Behar Show and he talked about his weight. He told his host: “Let’s be honest, I’ve lost 65 pounds, but nobody’s going ‘I wanna sleep with you!’ They’re just like, ‘Keep going, you look better.'”

He is still mad as hell about being thrown off the flight last year. He claims: “Sometimes a fat dude has a lot to offer, if you can get past the blubber.”

Don’t expect Smith to be sporting “thin clothes” anytime soon — he continues to cling to his over-sized sports jerseys that he claims he orders from Omar the tent maker.
