Back in November and over Christmas, I think Rob actually did lose some weigh. And only because I felt he had started to look like an old man, lost in the suits he once wore in his youth . . . but only a little. His collars were looser. His face wasn't so bloated, and so the wrinkles had started to come through.
This time, though, it doesn't look as if his face has changed one whit. And if they're fitting him into some new clothes, then there will be nothing with which we can compare.
P.S. The difference between a 52 and a 44 inch waist really might come down to how well he can suck in that prodigious gut of his. And if the rehab pool shot is any indication, then that, at least, is one thing he sucks particularly well at.
