Has Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks been taking Hollywood’s favourite slimming drug, Ozempic?
- Actress has caused alarm among fans by revealing a decidedly skinnier figure
- A 2010 poll of in Esquire magazine named her ‘the sexiest woman in the world’
- The injected drug is rumoured to have been used by growing list of celebrities
She is known for her hourglass curves and unashamedly anti-Hollywood stance when it came to being naturally voluptuous.
But now Mad Men star Christina Hendricks has caused alarm among fans by revealing a decidedly skinnier figure on social media.
Ms Hendricks, 48, sparked speculation she may be using popular slimming drug Ozempic after posting a photo of herself on Instagram as she headed out to dinner last Tuesday.
One fan commented: ‘Oh no, yet another one who is on Ozempic. How sad. She was so beautiful and curvy before.’ Another wrote: ‘You’re losing too much weight.’
Former model Ms Hendricks shot to fame playing Joan Harris in Mad Men, a show about a 1960s New York advertising agency.

The actress, whose father Robert was born in Birmingham, has previously spoken of the pressure to lose weight
In 2010, a poll of female readers in Esquire magazine named Ms Hendricks ‘the sexiest woman in the world’.
The actress, whose father Robert was born in Birmingham, has previously spoken of the pressure to lose weight. She said: ‘People in the industry have been telling me to lose weight for years. But I love my body as it is.
‘I give credit to my mother for helping me feel good about my appearance, for making sure I never felt embarrassed about my body, because she was never worried about looking too big.
‘I started out as a model, and when I went to Italy to build my modelling book I gained 15lb from all the pasta and cappuccinos.
‘I saw my body change and I loved how it changed my appearance and how it made me look more womanly and sexy.’
The actress’s spokesman last night declined to comment, but fans raced to her defence.
‘She could just be doing old-fashioned diet and exercise – and good for her,’ one said. ‘She’s still gorgeous.’
If Ms Hendricks is on Ozempic, usually taken in a once-weekly injection, she will join a growing list of stars rumoured to have used it.
Kim and Khloe Kardashian have both declined to comment on reports they are on the drug. Singer Jessica Simpson was also forced to deny taking it after losing 60lb.
Twitter and Tesla tycoon Elon Musk admitted using the medication to lose 25lb, and Sharon Osbourne said it helped her lose 30lb but made her ‘very sick’.
A source said: ‘Pretty much everyone in Hollywood is on Ozempic, whether they admit it or not. You walk in a room and, if you haven’t seen someone for a couple of months, it’s immediately noticeable.

‘The weight loss is drastic. No one loses weight that quickly through diet and exercise. They all get ‘Ozempic face’, which makes them look drawn from losing the weight too fast.’
Ms Hendricks became engaged to cameraman George Bianchini in March. She was previously married to actor Geoffrey Arend for ten years before they split in 2019.
