Unlike many celebrities, Jay Leno insists he's comfortable in his own skin, and even if you don't believe him, it doesn't matter because his wife likes his big chin just the way it is.

The funny man recently slammed the current trend and obsession with skinny stars - and claims he hasn't eaten a vegetable "since 1969."

The late night talk show host admits he loves junk food and can't understand why so many actors and pop singers starve themselves just to be thin.

He told Parade magazine, "I'm a meat, chicken and potatoes and pasta kind of guy. I eat a lot of junk food like pizza, hamburgers and hot dogs. When I have a soda, I have a soda - not a diet soda. I don't think I've ever had a salad, actually. And I don't think I've had a vegetable since 1969. My mother gave up on trying to make me eat them.

He added, "I've always liked that 'everything in moderation' line, but we don't seem to do that anymore. Everybody today is either dieting or they eat like gluttons."

Leno, who admits he is carrying a few excess pounds, insists he never weighs himself and doesn't feel any pressure to diet because he is happily married.

He said, "The last time I stepped on a scale was 1973. I don't let it bother me. So what if I look like I could I lose a few pounds? I've been married for 26 years. I'm not trying to pick up girls!"
