Charles Barkley does his best Jennifer Hudson impression in Weight Watchers upcoming 'Lose like a man' spring advertising campaign.
In the ads, Barkley can be seen standing in front of a black background while wearing a black dress, black shoes and a long dark colored wig, closely resembling the J-Hud ad.
The former NBA star and current TNT NBA analyst has dropped 42 pounds since starting Weight Watchers in October, and is still going strong. Not only has Barkley promoted the program during TNT NBA broadcasts, the former 'Round Mound of Rebound' has also appeared on shows like The Daily Show and Conan to spread the good word.
"We love Charles for the same reason everyone loves Charles, he's unfiltered," Weight Watchers said in statement. "We are thrilled that he is having great success and inspiring millions of men to join him."
Look for the Barkley ads to begin running on April 8.
