You know Josh Peck as a Nickelodeon star from the late ’90s and early 2000s era when he got his start on The Amanda Show. But his breakout role came as the titular co-star of the sitcom Drake & Josh, where he played the nerdy and “uncool” brother Josh Nichols. Back then, Josh was considerably larger in size and began losing weight in the later seasons of the show, saying he was making a conscious effort to live healthier. The public hasn’t seen too much of Josh after the show ended, but when the 2010’s came around, the world found that all of Josh Peck’s health consciousness has certainly paid off! Like Josh,this British actor started out in a goofy role but grew up to raise some eyebrows.
