'Ozempic train': Fans suspect weight loss drug as 'Euphoria' star Barbie Ferreira looks unrecognizably slim

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Euphoria' star and model Barbie Ferreira unveiled new photos on social media on July 18, showcasing a strikingly slimmer appearance, pushing viewers to speculate she's taking Ozempic, the weight loss drug popular among celebs.

The 27-year-old actress, known for her signature curves, looked almost unrecognizable with a smaller waistline and slender arms, wearing a chocolate brown dress that revealed the top of her black lace bralette while posing in a backyard.

In her caption, Ferreira simply wrote, "So quirky vibes," without addressing her apparent weight loss.

Who does Barbie Ferreira play in 'Euphoria'?

Barbie Ferreira appeared in 16 episodes of 'Euphoria' from 2019 to 2022, playing the role of Kat Hernandez.

However, as per Variety, she elaborated on her departure from the show, revealing that it was a "mutual decision" to leave, as her storyline had reached its conclusion and that she and showrunner Sam Levinson struggled "to find a continuation" of her character.

Following that, she guest-starred in an episode of 'Robot Chicken' in 2022 and played Nessie in the film 'Nope'.

Currently, she has two films in post-production, 'Faces Of Death' and 'House Of Spoils'.

Ferreira opens up about battling anxiety, depression, and Internet pressures

Four years ago, Ferreira opened up about her struggles with "crippling anxiety," "depression issues, eating issues, paranoias," and other "weird things" she attributed to the internet.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, she candidly discussed mental health and the pressures and world events that have negatively affected her generation.

"As an elder Gen Z, we’ve gotten our fair share of bad times," she said.

"I mean, my first day of kindergarten was 9/11. We were the guinea pigs of the internet — you’re 11, and the darkness of the entire world is just packed into your computer and you’re scrolling through it. 'That had to do something to my brain," she went on.

Ferreira continued, "I mean, I got crippling anxiety. A lot of depression issues, eating issues, paranoias, and just weird things that I’m one thousand per cent certain are from the internet."

Her deep emotional sensitivity might have actually benefited her career. Barbie attributes her journey into acting to her nature as a deeply "emotional" and "empathetic" child.

She also commented on the increasing hostility in the country, which she believes has led to rising levels of "sadness" and "mental neuroses," especially among younger generations.

Barbie Ferreira faces speculation over possible Ozempic use

While fans praised her captivating photos, some speculated that she might be using Ozempic, a diabetes medication known for its weight loss effects.

One viewer noted, "Definitely Ozempic, she looks great though."

A follower observed, "Ozempic maybe but she does look good."
