Larry the Cable Guy thinks he's too fat!

Larry the Cable Guy says he jumped at the opportunity to take the lead role in Tooth Fairy 2.

The actor real name Daniel Lawrence Whitney says he wasn’t bothered about the tight pink outfits and inevitable comparisons with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who starred in the first film.

“The Rock is buff and ripped, so it was funny to see him dressed like the tooth fairy,” Larry told People magazine.

“But it’s even funnier to see a fat white guy in a tutu. I didn’t care that I was gaining weight. I thought that fatter was funnier.”

Larry who dropped 50 lbs. last year, but gained it all back through a poor diet and inactivity admits that he needs to shed some weight to be healthy.

“I was down to 225 lbs.,” he said. “Now I weigh about 275 lbs. I’ve got a lot of work to do.

“I need to cut out sugar, not eat late at night, and do some cardio.

“I get what needs to be done, but it’s hard work.

“A trainer is good, but it’s ultimately up to me to do the work. I always joke that my wife gets me a trainer and I lose 50 lbs. by trying to run away from him. But I know I need to do something drastic.

“I can’t breathe when I’m heavy. That freaks me out. And everything else takes a lot of effort. Just tying my shoes can make me winded.”
