Zach Galifianakis showed off his drastic weight loss transformation at the Screen Actors Guild awards in Los Angeles yesterday.

The 45-year-old actor - known for his signature beard and heavier frame - looked nearly unrecognizable with an almost clean shaven face as he accepted the award for Best Ensemble Cast for his film Birdman on January 25.

Zach previously debuted a slimmer frame at a Birdman screening in October, but appears to have shed even more weight since then.

The notorious funnyman addressed his transformation, attributing it to a healthier diet.

"[I lost] about 30 ounces. I started walking a bunch and gave up booze. Booze, I was done with it. I couldn't wake up [like usual], so I stopped. I'm lucky that I could just stop, but boy I miss it,"he told WGN.

"Being light is fun. I can go up two flights of steps now, and only need my inhaler twice," he joked.
