Mark Wahlberg, who is known for waking up at 2:30 a.m. to get in the first of his many daily workouts, took a different approach for his upcoming film, Father Stu. Wahlberg plays the real-life Reverend Stuart Long, a boxer-turned-priest, in the film, and as a result, he couldn’t play the part with his regular swole body. Such career sacrifices necessitate physical alterations, and instead of going to the gym like other actors, he had to, well, discontinue that practice.
Because of the worldwide crisis, the release of this film has been pushed back, and Wahlberg now needs to supplement the facts that he has already given, such as how he ate up to 11,000 calories each day in order to pull off this spectacular metamorphosis in only three weeks:
Yes, even if Wahlberg believes that this is the “healthy” method, an excess of the “excellent” fat found in olive oil cannot be good for one’s arteries. Furthermore, having to gulp any form of oil seems revolting. Wahlberg previously described the diet as “pleasant for about an hour” but more challenging than reducing weight for a part. Neither of these events sound like a blast, but awards, man.
