Disney’s Heavyweights Cast: Where Are They Now?
Before Kenan Thompson and Judd Apatow were household names — and Ben Stiller was still on the rise — they teamed up for 1995’s Heavyweights.
The Disney big-screen comedy about youngsters at a “weight loss camp” and the manic fitness guru Tony Perkis (Stiller) who takes over has since become a cult classic.
“Somehow, I don’t think this will be at the head of the Disney+ queue ever. In fact, I’m not sure they are aware they made it,” Stiller wrote via X in February 2025 while honoring the film’s 30th Anniversary. “But that was an incredibly fun summer in North Carolina 30 years ago. #Heavyweights.”
Thompson, who played one of the campers, also reflected on its staying power via Instagram. “The history books will say this squad instilled a level of fear not yet known to man, and certainly not to @benstiller,” he teased in February 2025. “THIRTY YEARS of #Heavyweights and it still feels like just yesterday I was packing up for camp. What a time!!!”
