10 Best Fat Kids In Movie History

By Joe Sippy /

6. The Kid - Bad Santa

Piggy might be tragic, but The Kid from Bad Santa is just plain pathetic. So pathetic, in fact, that the movie never acknowledges that he has a name. To Willy (the Bad Santa of the movie's title), he€™s just a snot-nosed, fatherless, sandwich-loving kid with a big house and a lot of stuff worth stealing. But this is a Christmas movie after all, so you€™d better believe that the Bad Santa is going to have a (subtle) change of heart to help The Kid out at some point. The Kid is the perfect prey for bullies: rotund, naïve, and lacking any sort of masculine role model to help him figure out how to stand up for himself. He does have a great character arc over the course of the movie, however, wherein he learns a bit about growing up but doesn€™t lose his simple charm (emphasis on simple). Bonus trivia: Brett Kelly (the actor who played The Kid) would inherit the €˜chubby kid on the team€™ role from Ham Porter (also on this list) in the totally unnecessary sequel to The Sandlot.
