supposedly this was because they didn’t want to make the actor gain a lot of weight, or lose a lot of weight when stanley becomes skinnier. still, they should have just cast a fat kid. how many main characters are fat in children’s media? im drawing a blank
the actor was shia labeouf. they wanted a celeb and famous actor, so they didn’t get a fat one. it’s that simple but it’s integral to his character in the book and internal monologue and arc.
