Matt Damon says gaining weight for his new movie is the most fun thing he’s ever done
Matt Damon says gaining weight for his new movie is the most fun thing he’s ever done.
The ‘Informant!’ actor – who plays overweight Mark Whitacre, an agricultural businessman who becomes an FBI informer, in the film – piled on 30lbs for the role, and delighted in gorging on calorific treats.
He said: “It was very, very easy to gain the weight. It was very, very fun, probably the most fun time I’ve had working because I didn't have to go to the gym after work and I just ate everything I could see.”
Matt, 38, feasted on fast food and crisps to put on the weight, making sure he snacked throughout the day.
He explained: “I definitely got doughy. I started eating like crazy and drinking dark beer. Between meals on set, I’d eat a Value Meal at McDonald’s and then Doritos on top of it. It was absolute heaven.”
Matt – who was voted People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2007 – has had less fun trying to regain his toned physique, but is hopeful a stringent exercise regime will help him buff up his body.
He revealed: “If you put it on, it's easier to get it back off. I'm just boxing. I figure if you get hit enough times, it will fall off! Now I'm the Sexiest Man Alive's chunky cousin.”
