‘Seinfeld’ Star Wayne Knight Was ‘on Path’ to an ‘Early Grave’ Before Losing 100 Lbs.


Former Seinfeld star Wayne Knight was ‘on path’ to an ‘early grave’ before he lost 100 pounds, an insider exclusively tells Closer amid his weight loss journey.

Wayne Knight — who played Seinfeld ’s portly postman nemesis Newman on the hit ’90s series — dropped more than 100 pounds after a doctor warned he was eating himself to death! “It scared me — literally to life,” admits Knight, who ultimately took the expert’s advice to consult fitness pro Marc Vahanian. Now, the increasingly svelte star puts in 20-minute workouts at least two times a week at a gym in L.A., uses a gourmet delivery service that keeps his daily caloric intake at around 1,500 — and weighs less than 200 pounds!
