* ''Film/Venom2018'': If the symbiote doesn't get a lot of food, it will end up destroying Eddie's internal organs, and neither of them particularly wants that. In the initial infestation period, the symbiote drives Eddie to eat everything remotely edible in his apartment, no matter how frozen or decayed, and regularly demands food for the rest of the movie. It also has a particular taste for [[ImAHumanitarian people,]] particularly the heads, which it swallows whole and apparently digests in a matter of seconds. At one point it swallows an entire person without chewing. Since the symbiote is taking most of it, Eddie never puts on any notable weight in the process.

* Dennis Nedry from ''Film/JurassicPark'' is one, first being seen polishing off an unhealthily large meal that takes up his entire table at a restaurant. Even after he's handed a big bag of money, he still forces Dodgson to pay for his huge bill. Later, his work station is a complete mess of candy and snack wrappers, and he is able to convince his superiors he's going to a vending machine just by virtue of his obesity. If Nedry had escaped from the island with the dinosaur DNA, and with the seemingly limitless flow of cash coming to him in return, it's likely Nedry would've gotten to the size of a [[Franchise/StarWars Hutt]] since he probably would've spent much of his new wealth on food.

* Rusty from the ''OceansEleven'' series is almost always shown eating something in every scene. According to Brad Pitt, it was decided that Rusty would just eat all the time. He first mentioned this when he was eating after having worked all day without a break for lunch and was hungry, because he thought it would be a good character trait for Rusty Ryan as well. This leads to a gag at the end of the film where Rusty gets heartburn and throws the food away.
