Adam Lambert was once fat and a redhead here’s the video proof

Adam Lambert mentioned in a recent interview with Chelsea Lately that he was once “fat” and originally a redhead. We poked around and found some footage of a younger Adam singing at his Mt Carmel High School graduation. During the interview Adam described himself as a “fat, 250 pound, redheaded teenager.” He says that he believed that he was an emotional eater dealing with his closeted self and low self esteem at the time.

As for why he dyes his natural red hair black, Adam simply states, “Opie doesn’t do rock ‘n’ roll.” Adam has definitely lost most of his baby fat and looks good weighing between 170-180 pounds on a 6′1″ frame.

In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Lambert admits that he still wrestles with self-esteem issues.

“I’ve finally checked in to my self-worth for the first time in my life, and the fact that it has coincided with Idol is so sweet,”

Adam said.

“I still have moments where I think, Oh, my skin is terrible, and I’m a little fat, I should really go to the gym more. ”

Adam, don’t be so hard on yourself, your fans love you. Your album debuted at #3 on the Billboard album chart, so you are doing something right.
