"With his return to the public stage, Mr. Lydon’s girth has become a subject of tabloid reports. “John Lydon, 62, looks barely recognizable,” read a recent headline in The Daily Express in London. The Daily Mail said he “looks worlds away from his hell-raising rail-thin punk heyday.”

Mr. Lydon, for his part, isn’t about to start caring what people think. “Sometimes I bloat because I’ve got a thyroid problem,” he said. “It’s really nice when your pants expand, and you can wear them after, when you thin back down.”"

Poor Don Rickles having to pretend to be a jerk while the other two can just be themselves.

Was Groucho a jerk? I always got a good vibe off him.

I’ve heard conflicting things but from what I gathered he was a fairly sullen and surly person when the lights were off.

Well, comedians are mostly miserable people when they aren't on, so that's certainly plausible.
