Jesus Christ. Couldn't Leto just like...eat pasta, candy, and baconators all day? Lay around watching tv and playing video games. Ryan Gosling also went with the drinking melted ice cream method and gained 60lbs for his role as a depressed grieving father in Lovely Bones. I say "his" role, but when he showed up to set Peter Jackson decided that depression weight was not what the role required and recast with Mark Wahlberg. i'm so glad i read this whole post, because i almost threw on lovely bones just to see gosling. couldn't believe there was a ryan gosling movie i hadn't seen lol

I think we can all agree Bale is the king for this. His mid-2000s were insane, dropping to 121lbs for the Machinist, bulking up to 221lbs over the following six months for Batman Begins, then dropping to 190lbs in the six weeks before filming began because he'd gained too much weight. And then went the other direction for American Hustle. And for the Dick Cheney movie, he said he just ate a lot of pie. But then he also helped save the director, Adam McKay, from a heart attack, because he experienced the symptoms from his weighty roles.

Rob McElhenney from Sunny in Philly gained a ton of weight between seasons 6 & 7 (because they wanted out of shape Mac to be a plot point for s7), then he lost most of it and got back in shape before season 8.

I do recall Baby Goose saying he absolutely hated lifting weights and being over getting all yolked up similar to Pitt saying he was done getting into ridiculous shape after Troy.

And now that boy is ripped 😍😍😍 It's funny, I was looking up which seasons he did that dramatic weight gain/loss for, figuring that would come right up, and instead the many articles that did appear in a Google search (so many that I just went to his Wikipedia pg) up were about how incredibly in shape he is nowadays.

That Jared Leto thing was especially dumb because that movie was garbage and no one cared. He did lose a ton of weight for Dallas Buyers Club though as well.

There’s a lot but a weird one to consider is Rock slimmed the f*** down early on in his Hollywood run and then tank’d up to ridiculous point that e isn’t even in now. Brando is another one though that sadly wasn’t for a role. I dunno how drastically different he was before, but Billy Zane got jacked for Phantom in a time where it was literal spandex. I’ve heard Reeves had to bulk up as well with the help of David Prowse for Superman. And there’s all the Marvel ones, but Rudd stuck out to me as not being the type to work out but succeeding with the look for Ant-Man. Though he claimed a lot of it was just not drinking beer anymore. Edit: and someone brought up Hugh Jackman, and everyone knows how hard he worked to maintain the physique all those years, but seeing him in the first X-Men compared to The Wolverine is striking. I was telling someone recently that in the book Heart of Darkness the character of Kurtz is emancipated to the point of being skeletal, and they they had to keep Brando obscured in the shadows for Apocalypse now to hide what flabby shape he was in. They did film some scenes in broad daylight but dropped them because it detracted from the effect.

Let's not forget that he gained weight for American Hustle. Also, remember when 50 Cent lost all that weight for that movie "All Things Fall Apart"? I know that the movie wasn't mainstream, but it did end up coming out. I even saw that movie earlier this year. If you want to read my take, here's my review.
