LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- U.S. filmmaker Kevin Smith, kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight a year ago because of his size, says he has lost 65 pounds.

"I feel mixed feelings about losing the weight," The Hollywood Reporter said Smith told HLN Tuesday. "I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin. I'll never be thin. Let's be honest, I've lost 65 pounds, but nobody's going, 'I wanna sleep with you!' They're just like, 'Keep going, you look better.'"

Smith's films include "Cop Out," "Jersey Girl," "Chasing Amy," "Dogma" and "Clerks."
