    Hello, Newman! The actor lost 100 pounds through diet and exercise. But would he have been as funny as Newman with his new, slimmer bod?

Wow, is that really Jonah Hill?

The guy who played the fat guy in "Knocked Up" (not Seth Rogen, the other fat guy) appeared at Wednesday night's ESPY Awards looking almost rail thin -- and sporting a neatly tailored suit and close-cropped haircut.

He sure cleans up good!

But the fact that you can barely recognize Hill isn't necessarily great for his career. A source close to Hill recently told E!, "If he gets too slim, he'll stop being the ‘fat, funny' guy and he'll need to do something else to set himself apart from the rest ... Pretty interesting that even the popular schlubby guys are feeling the heat to look better and hotter."

Hill is not the only star to completely change his look lately. "That's So Raven" actress Raven-Symone has been looking a little less Raven recently -- and a lot more Hollywood glam. And Jennifer Hudson has basically morphed into a different person.

But sometimes, we can't help but miss these stars the way they used to be -- fat-ish, flawed and funny. Click through our slideshow and let us know: Which celeb was better off chubby?

    Also, Seth Rogen, Drew Carey, Josh from Drake and Josh, etc., and Raven and Jennifer look ok skinny, but they're almost too skinny for me now. Losing weights great, but don't overdue it.

    While losing weight is a good thing doing it over a much longer period of time would of been less jarring. I think his career relied on him being type cast as chubby guy and he'll need to drasticly re-invent himself or find another career.

    I think a LOT of the people in their striving to be fashionably "hot" and to some degree genericly glamourous sabotage what made them stand out. They no longer are credible for acting assignments as "real" or typical people anymore.

    I have frequently been critical of "The Biggest Loser" of stripping away ALL aspects of the uniqueness as well as their weight, then give a make over that just makes them another fashionably thin but other wise generic person.

    I arbitrarily chose one of them. Frankly they all look better, and no doubt they have all extended their careers so we may enjoy their talents for many more years to come. (Anybody miss John Belushi - granted drugs were part of it, but weight was also a factor)

    We all loved Jonah like he was and he shouldn't have felt pressure to change if that was the reason. Sure he's looks shockingly different and it'll take a while for us to get used to that but it's better for his health. There are many advantages to being healthily slim and i'm sure they can all feel a lot happier and fit. So good for them all, it must have taken a fair bit of work to lose that much weight. We'll all get over the change eventually. But yes, some people look a bit better with more fat.

    Right now Johah Hill, but maybe in a few months he will look better. He probably just needs to turn the loose flesh into muscle.

    I picked jonah hill, because he looked cuter when he was chubby, but for everyone else, they all look better slim :)

    All of them look better thin. Raven-Symone looks super thin. Even though she was cute as a young, energetic fat girl.
