Rubber-faced funnyman Jerry Lewis is 50 pounds lighter...
Lewis lost the pounds after weaning himself off prednisone, a steroid drug he had been taking since 2001 for pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic lung ailment.
The entertainer's face had become distorted as a side-effect of the steroids--at one point, Lewis' weight ballooned to 242 pounds.
The erstwhile Nutty Professor still hopes to lose 20 pounds.
