Gaining and Losing Weight for Movies

November23

Some celebrities will do anything to get a coveted movie role and that includes losing and gaining weight. They will try all kinds of things from binge eating to finding the best appetite suppressant.

Recently, Jim Carrey said he is planning on gaining 50 pounds to play Curly in the upcoming Farrelly brothers’ movie, “The Three Stooges.” I guess that means shaving his head too! Matt Damon gained 30 pounds to play an FBI informant in “The Informant” while in 1996 he lost 50 pounds to play a heroin addict in “Courage Under Fire.”

Who has gained to most weight? Vincent D’Onofrio gained 70 pounds for his role in “Full Metal Jacket.” While on the other end, Christian Bale lost 63 pounds for his role in “The Machinist.”
