Side-By-Side Pics Of JD Vance Crystallize Why The Ozempic Gossip Is Piping Hot
Vice President JD Vance's trimmer appearance these days has sparked Ozempic rumors. Back in 2024, he opened up about his 30-pound weight loss, making it very clear that it was only due to diet and exercise. "I haven't taken any drugs. Obviously, you eat a little bit less, but it's also just eating better," he told the Daily Mail. Weight loss the "natural way" seems like a grand accomplishment in this new era of Ozempic. GLP-1 weight loss pills allow their users to shed pounds quickly, which can sometimes lead to the dreaded Ozempic face.
Despite Vance denying the use of weight loss drugs years ago, it seems that he might be using them now. It's not confirmed whether he has lost more weight, but it certainly looks like he has. Rumors began spreading after Vance appeared in an interview with YouTuber Benny Johnson. "Jd Vance gotta be on Ozempic," reads an X post referencing a clip from the sit-down. When comparing older photos of Vance to his current appearance, such as the 2022 image on the above left, it's clear that there's a major difference. Not only is his jawline more defined than usual, but he also physically looks smaller when the camera pulls out in the interview footage with Johnson.
Ozempic JD Vance seems to take over the Fat JD Vance meme
This significant difference in JD Vance's unrecognizable appearance did not go unnoticed. Even more people took to X to share their views on Vance's transformation, and their thoughts ranged from poking fun at Vance to expressing concern. One X user wrote, "So when is anyone going to mention how much weight JD Vance has lost. I like him. I'm not trying to insult him, but it's clear that he is lost significant weight. Is he on ozempic or something?" In another X post, a user joked about the rising prices of groceries, saying, "Bro can't afford groceries like most of us apparently."
The controversial influencer Clavicular was even mentioned in one X user's post, which read, "Clavicular got JD vance on ozempic." Clavicular, known for starting the "looksmaxxing" movement on social media, seems to feed on other's insecurities. Vance certainly might have felt insecure after the viral "fat JD Vance" meme began trending online. One X user wrote, "I'm so used to Fat-meme JD Vance, that when I just saw him it looked like he's on ozempic." For those who are unaware, "Fat-meme JD Vance" refers to an edited picture of Vance that makes him appear swollen and a bit terrifying. While this viral moment certainly could have sparked self-consciousness, Vance decided to embrace it and used it as inspiration for his Halloween costume in 2025. It seems that "Ozempic JD Vance" has taken center stage now that Vance is in his "looksmaxxing" era (which will go quite nicely with his love of eyeliner.)
