Generally accustomed to pushing cast iron, actor Mark Wahlberg went all out on calories for his role in the movie Father Stu. With a diet (unsavory), he put on 14 kilos in six weeks.
Her little secret? “Tenderloin of beef, baked potatoes, a dozen eggs every morning, a dozen pieces of bacon, two bowls of white rice every day… To hydrate myself, I drank a glass of oil olive,” he told AFP.
His diet has been thought out down to the smallest detail. “A large amount of protein during the first two weeks; for the next two a lot of starch. And the last two weeks, I was taking a lot of sodium to have this puffy look, but it was not funny at all”, underlines Mark Wahlberg.
In Father Stu, he plays Stuart Long, a boxer who hangs up his gloves after an injury to try his luck in Hollywood cinema. As he seeks to conquer a young woman by going to the church she attends, he discovers the faith and decides to become a priest…
Let his cardiologist be reassured, however, the actor, who is currently promoting the film which will be released on HBO Max this April 13, has already lost the extra pounds.
