    Omid Djalili thinks about his "belly" 10 to 15 minutes every day

    The 58-year-old comic and actor - who has starred in 'The Mummy', 'The World is Not Enough' and 'Gladiator' - said he realized in his 30s weight was creeping on after years of being in shape, and it is the thing he most hates about his body.


    Omid described his ongoing struggle with weight and the daily awareness of his belly, which he hates. He acknowledged the health risks associated with being overweight and the need to change his diet and lifestyle. Omid also discussed the public judgment faced by comedians for potentially offensive jokes and recounted a terrifying encounter with a group of Pakistani Muslims who confronted him after he made a joke about the Muslim call to prayer.
