Dude looks like a lady! NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley is ready to show off his hot new bod in a commercial campaign for Weight Watchers that will begin airing on April 8.

“Diet is not a man’s word because we don’t like to diet – we like to eat,” said Barkley in a press release for the company, which signed him as a spokesperson last fall.

“Like a lot of athletes, I’ve gained weight since I’ve retired. But, I don’t want to be a fat, old man taking lots of pills. Weight Watchers is helping me change my lifestyle and learn how to make smarter eating choices anywhere I am.”

Barkley says he’s lost 40 pounds since starting the program last year.

Goodlawd, Charles is one hot mama!
