is a fictional character in the second and third films of the Austin Powers series. A morbidly
obese henchman hailing from Scotland, Fat Bastard serves
Dr. Evil in his quest to destroy Austin Powers. The character is portrayed by Mike Myers.
His extreme size and weight (1 metric tonne, according to Dr. Evil) endows Fat Bastard with massive strength. He exhibited this prowess in the sumo ring in the third movie.
Fat Bastard is noted for his foul temper, his emotional monologues that culminate in flatulence, his vulgar, crude manners, and his unusual diet. These
go as far as to include a cannibalistic taste for human infants and midgets, whom he gluttonously calls, "The other, other white
meat". In Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, he boasts that he once
ate a baby, and tries to refuse Dr. Evil's money for his services in exchange for getting to eat
Mini-Me. He also has the same Scottish accent as
Shrek (also voiced by Myers), whose movie was released in
2001,
two years after The Spy Who Shagged Me (and a year before Goldmember in 2002).
