The star, who is famous for his screen partnership with Simon Pegg, previously spoke out on his battle with an eating disorder which saw him secretly binge on junk food.
The comedy actor has since lost six stone in a bid to be around for his young family, explaining: ‘I have a two-year-old, you know, and I’m just aware that big fat men in their fifties don’t become big fat men in their sixties, and that’s just a fact.’
Speaking to The Sunday Times magazine in September 2023 about his battle with eating, Nick explained how he would ‘hide in his car and eat two iced buns and four Snickers’, and that he knows he was suffering from a form of disorder.
Nick went on to discuss how his struggle with eating largely began when he quit smoking and drinking, as he replaced his old bad habits with a new one.
He said: ‘It was interesting stopping cigarettes and any kind of mind-altering chemicals and drinking, and thinking, “Yes, I’m good, I’ve done it.”
And suddenly you find yourself eating six Wispas in a dark room and hiding all your s***, enjoying the James Bondness of addiction, all the secret bits.’
However, Nick says he has now taken responsibility for his eating and his health, he proudly told the publication he had lost six stone, adding: ‘So now only an XXXL.’
Revealing how he lost the weight, he said: ‘I’ve taken responsibility for it, because it’s fine me saying, “I’m gonna make sure the kids have the best dad they can have,” but it’s b******t if I’m secretly eating in the toilet. So I’ve had to not do that.’

Nick shares his daughter, two, and his son, four, with his partner and the family live together in southwest London.
Nick’s girlfriend has never been photographed and their little boy’s name has never been shared publicly.
He also has a 12-year-old son, Mac, from his marriage to ex-wife Christina.
They were married in 2008 and after seven years of marriage, the couple split in 2013, before divorcing in 2015.
