This is Chauncy Morlan, and around 100 years ago his obesity was so shocking that people would pay money to see him as he toured the country as a circus “fat man”. I find the unremarkableness of his size to be a telling sign of how we’ve pushed the limits of obesity in the past 100 years.
I don’t think one needs to say more. The guy is overweight, but sadly you see people like him regularly on TV or in the flesh these days.
