"Do you really want to hurt me?" That's presumably what Boy George's extra poundage asked him, and he answered with a resounding, "Oh, yeah." The '80s Culture Club icon showed off chiseled cheekbones and a much slimmer silhouette as he stepped out in London on Sunday night for the Whatsonstage.com Awards. 


Boy George, 51, whose weight and drug problems have been well-documented over the years, credits his recent slim-down to a rigorous, veggie-heavy diet courtesy of Amelia Freer's Freer Nutrition plan. "My secret!" he tweeted. "Portion control. 5 hour gaps between meals. No coffee or tea, except at meals. Water & fizzy water between meals! No bread, sugar!"


Here's another shot of George from Sunday, courtesy of his Twitter (we have no idea what's going on with those plastic bins in the background):

Boy George looks really good for 51!!!  Congrats to him for taking off the poundage, and his new slim look should only buoy his creativity and spirits so that perhaps he can make some more memorable music!!!

Interesting how many years it took off him. It makes him look a lot younger. I remember growing up to The Culture Club. They should make a movie about him.

Only George could pull off eye-shadow and an unshaven face.  LOL

"When will you learn from your tears and your suffering?" lyrics from one of his songs I guess he's finally decided to put his health first. I'm happy for him!

Looking a lot like George Michael with the unshaven face and eye shadow. Hope he stays healthy and leaves the substance abuse out of it!

I looooooooved George's voice in Culture Club's heyday. His voice was deemed one of the 'best soul voices, ever'. I agree(d). I wish he'd record again. He looks FABULOUS. Glad he is taking control of his life, now.
