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).
