Mark Wahlberg has long been known for his commitment towards acting. Similar to how he decided to shave the top part of his head each day in order to avoid wearing a bald cap for Flight Risk, the actor gained 30 pounds in six weeks for his previous movie Father Stu, as per his interview with ET's Cassie DiLaura.
Wahlberg explained that he had six weeks to put on the weight. He started with 7,000 calories a day for the first two weeks and then increased to 11,000 calories for the final four weeks. Initially, the process was exciting, but it quickly became exhausting. Wahlberg even had to drink olive oil by the glass as part of his diet.
Instead of indulging in fun foods like ice cream and pizza, Wahlberg focused on a healthy weight gain. His diet included a dozen eggs, a dozen pieces of bacon, two baked potatoes, a Porterhouse steak, two bowls of white rice, and a glass of olive oil. The first two weeks were high in protein, the next two weeks were heavy on carbs, and the last two weeks focused on starches and sodium to get as bloated as possible.
