Lots of actors gain and lose weight for parts. But he really does look ill and I hope he finishes the role and eats a bunch of Big Macs. I like this guy. My brain was just trying to reconsile them being mentioned in the same sentence. Something like scratching your head when someone mentions filet mignon and frito pie. Not too much different from black guy acts gangster to win an award. I am awating the Denzel autobio near the end of his life decrying this.
He was amazing in my so called life … to his credit. Christian Bale did it… and ot in a healthy way either. It was the scariest thing ever to see. Production on that movie got pushed back too and he had to stay that thin. Its terrifying… I think thats the thinnest any actor has ever gotten for a role.
It was beyond just getting really gaunt. It was like nearing a holocost victim. Daniel Day Lewis is the king of the method actors. After ditching booze, following a stint in rehab in December , he found sober life could bring unexpected weight challenges, explaining: "When I was in Belgium filming In Bruges I had to find other things to do than drink.
There's nowhere better to buy chocolate than there. In we saw him shrink by 40lb, reportedly thanks to a diet of tuna, black coffee and diet coke, to play a frighteningly thin war photographer in the largely forgettable film Triage.
But after having been too fat and too thin, a box-office hit and miss , Farrell seems to have hit upon his Goldilocks moment and found a balance that is just right.
After years of running headlong into back-to-back filming projects, Farrell is making more measured, and better, decisions, about which parts he takes and also allowing himself more time to dedicate to his number one role: being a dad.
In interviews, he lights up at the mention of his two sons, two-and-a-half-year-old Henry from his relationship with Ondine co-star Alicja Bachleda-Curus and James 8 whose mother is US model Kim Bordenave.
But after squandering his money during his hard-partying days, Farrell says he's now putting it to better use, setting up a big screen for film nights for friends and family in his LA pad and splashing out on a home sauna.
Farrell says: "Less and less do I see his condition. I'm just keenly aware of his personality. He's really cool. He's so much fun to be around. His health is good, we have the seizures under control and he's got an amazing team of people in his life. Unfortunately, but to no surprise, his body hated the rapid weight gain and his cholesterol levels spiked into a perilous territory.
Matt Damon successfully put on 30 pounds for his role in The Informant. The downside? It predominantly went to his gut. Excessive belly fat is more concerning than storing weight in the hips and thighs because that visceral fat is the precursor to a long line of heart disease and even Type II diabetes.
Luckily, he shed it by the time he had to waltz down the red carpet! Good ol' George Clooney may have won an Oscar for his role in the political thriller Syriana , but he was not terribly keen on the 35 pounds he had to pack on for it.
He claims putting on the pounds—along with the bushy beard—made him feel like he aged a decade. Was that feeling worth an award? You decide. Tom Hanks' most remarkable transformation has to be his pound loss for the classic hit Cast Away. In order to prepare for the film, Hanks took a slower route in comparison to the others listed above and dropped the weight over the course of one year.
At the same time, he grew a long beard to enhance the scraggly look. Hanks also lost weight 30 pounds for his role in the movie Philadelphia.
He's developed Type II diabetes, which he accredits to his massive jumps in weight over the years for these two films.
You bet. British actor Ben Kingsley dropped 20 pounds to play Gandhi, which aired in He wanted to fully come in tune with the character, so he even decided to lose the weight on a strictly vegetarian diet—Gandhi style.
This guy sure did his research. Leto, who was a vegetarian at the time, would down a large Dominoes pizza every night for dinner, he told an interviewer on Sirius satellite radio. Some people think, 'Oh it was enjoyable,' but I was force feeding myself to such an extent that I would throw up in the back of my throat every day. My body was falling apart, and it was just really bad. He also got treated differently.
When filming wrapped, Leto couldn't wait to take off the weight. He told about. To play the super-svelte Deena Jones -- modeled on naturally thin Diana Ross — for the film "Dreamgirls," Knowles lost 20 pounds, an idea that, she told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival premiere, was her own.
He did it all the way [for "Castaway"], so I said, I can do it all the way! I wanted it to be something more than just make-up and hair. I wanted to see the change. For his role as former CIA agent Robert Baer in the film "Syriana," George Clooney added 35 pounds to his pretty boy persona and rendered himself nearly unrecognizable.
But the extra pounds also weighed him down and contributed to the tear in his dura, creating a cranial spinal fluid leak. That threw off his basketball game and his love for motorcycling. In an interview on "Inside the Actor's Studio," Damon said his weight-loss regimen consisted of a diet of chicken breast, egg whites and one plain baked potato per day and a large amount of coffee and cigarettes.
He also ran six and half miles in the morning and at night. After the film wrapped, he said on the Oprah Winfrey Show, he had to be under medical supervision for several months for damage done to his adrenal glands. By the movie's end, he's nearly unrecognizable as the washed-up boxer.
