Physical makeup and behaviour

An immensely obese, hardly able to walk (weighing a metric ton) gardener and henchman hailing from Scotland, Fat Bastard served Dr. Evil in his quest to defeat Austin Powers. His extreme size endows Fat Bastard with super-human strength as exhibited by his prowess in the Sumo ring from Goldmember. This makes him a formidable enemy for Austin Powers. Fat Bastard is noted for his foul temper, his frequent flatulence, his unusual eating habits, and a taste for babies (and anything that looks like a baby, e.g. small people) which is most likely a reference to Jonathan Swift's 'A Modest Proposal'. He once tried to refuse Dr. Evil's money for his services in exchange for eating Mini-Me. (A commonly repeated quotation is him saying to Mini-Me, "I'm bigger than you, I'm higher on the food chain! (You look like a baby Get in ma belly!") Mike Myers has jokingly said that it took about 64 hours to transform to Fat Bastard's body.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Fat Bastard had stolen Austin's mojo in 1969, leaving Austin impotent in 1999. After seducing and sleeping with Fat Bastard, secret agent and Austin's ally Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham) places a homing device in his anus. However, the device is ineffective, lost and left in a toilet when he defecates. Fat Bastard considers himself sexy but is really hiding his true feelings of rejection from society. During an assassination attempt against Austin, Fat Bastard has an emotional breakdown says "I eat because I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle. Now if you'll excuse me, there's someone I need to get in touch with and forgive: meself," after which he passes a very loud fart. He then tries to kill Austin Powers, but Felicity incapacitates him with a kick to his testicles. Fat Bastard appears to die, but in fact manages to survive the blow.

Austin Powers in Goldmember

In the next film Fat Bastard leaves Dr. Evil's employ and relocates to Japan. There he becomes a sumo wrestler, and despite trying to go straight, he still carries out the odd job for Dr. Evil. Eventually, by the end of Austin Powers in Goldmember he has lost all of his excess weight, thanks to the Subway diet. However he can be quoted as saying, "I do seem to have a bit of excess skin though. And, unfortunately, ma neck does look like a vagina." It should be noted, however, that while he claims to have lost all his weight, the amount of weight lost is given as only 180 lbs, which, as he weighed over a metric ton, would not take away all of his excess fat.

DirecTV Commercial

Beginning in June 2006, this character was in a DirecTV Commercial with Mini-Me. The plot was that he was talking about how Mini-Me was looking good to eat like in the movies (see above). Mini-Me thinks that he is crazy. He also uses two of his lines from the movie.

Trivia

• Fat Bastard's thick accent is nearly identical to that of another Mike Myers character, Stuart Mackenzie, from the 1993 movie So I Married an Axe Murderer. It is also identical to his character Shrek.

• In reviews for the movies in the newspapers, film critic Roger Ebert referred to him as "We can't even say his name!", while others called him "Obese Illegitimate Child."
