Mark Wahlberg Reveals How He Dropped 60 Pounds for His Role in The Gambler – Now, this is dedication.
We’re all used to appreciating Mark Wahlberg’s tight, bulging biceps, but the 43-year-old actor transformed his muscular body and underwent a drastic 60-pound weight loss for his role as literature professor Jim Bennett in the crime thriller “The Gambler.”
At last night’s premiere, the Oscar nominee revealed that he maintained a strict liquid diet for six weeks, consuming only eight ounces of almond milk, three times a day.
Wahlberg explained, “I was miserable because I like food. Then, I had to exercise for two or three hours on top of shooting a 12-hour day. It was not fun.”
