Believe it or not the overly critical Karl Lagerfeld was once fat. And if you don't believe us, there's proof.

The clip (above) features a heavyset Unkle K during a skit for the 1997 VH1 Fashion Awards.

He's even holding that fan he used to hit employees! Ha!

We're glad he decided to get healthy though.

Wow.

Long before he became the sunglass wearing creative director at Chanel, a 20-something year old Karl Lagerfeld competed in the 1955 International Wool Secretariat’s design competition.

Karl ended up losing to Yves Saint Laurent, but we think things turned out just fine for him.

Check out young Karl in the clip (above)!
