Fast forward 30-plus years and the handsome actor is married to the same woman for nearly 30 years, has two grown children now, starred in The Best Man movie series including the hit TV series, The Best Man: The Final Chapters.
He now stars in the series “Diarra from Detroit” on BET with rave reviews. But Morris doesn’t have your typical “dad-body” with love handles and a beer belly. But, at one time, he actually did.
Back in 2014 when Chestnut hit the media circuit to promote his acting projects, Morris had transformed into an incredibly chiseled man. But, the truth is that not long before shooting that film, Morris was in the worst shape of his life—35 pounds heavier than he should have been, over 220 pounds, avoiding the gym, and frequenting the drive-through.
Knowing he would be on screen again and with more skin showing this time, he turned to celebrity trainer Obi Obadike to help him turn things around in time for the movie–and the results speak for themselves. Morris went from 220 pounds to a lean and ripped 187 pounds in just 12 weeks, and audiences haven’t stopped raving about his new look—or asking how he achieved it.
In fact, Morris and Obi teamed up to share this life-changing and accessible program with fans nationwide. Morris is literally calling out all those who want a better body and want to lose weight, to use him to do it.
With Obi’s trademark fat-burning exercise program and cutting edge weight loss nutrition techniques, THE CUT is a book and program designed to help readers drop pounds quickly—up to 10 pounds in 10 days (no seriously!). It even boasts being able to lose 40 pounds in 12 weeks as well.

Featuring Morris’s personal exercise and diet plan, including delicious recipes like carne asada tacos, as well as success stories from dozens of everyday people who have lost weight and kept it off, this book shares his game-changing routine.
“There were a couple of shirtless scenes he had to do in the movie, and Morris had to look lean and muscular for that film,” explains Obi. “So when he came to me in December 2012, he was literally in the worst shape of his life.”
“I ended up helping him lose 33 pounds in 12 weeks to get him in the best shape of his life at 44 years old. He ended up …landing the November cover of Muscle and Performance in 2013 the same month his movie came out. So between the fitness magazine cover he was gracing and his lean, ripped body in the movie, people were raving about his transformed physique.”
“I texted Morris shortly afterward and said I think we should do a book together…”
And here we are, six-packs and ripped arms and thighs later at age 55. Great job Morris!
