This sounds extreme!
Mark Wahlberg is always in tip top shape, but had to drop some serious poundage for his role in The Gambler. In fact, his 60lb weight loss was so dramatic that it even surprised Transformers: Age of Extinction director Michael Bay!
And not in a good way!

Wahlberg revealed:
“He goes, ├óΓé¼╦£You look like crap! What are you going to do? We’ve got to shoot in five weeks.’ I probably put on 40 pounds back. But it still wasn’t enough for him. He said, ├óΓé¼╦£Aw, I’ve got to shoot you like this to make you look cool again.’ He’s a perfectionist. He was more upset than my wife (Rhea Durham). I mean, my wife was a little freaked out that I was losing this much weight, but he was really freaked out.”
So, how did he do lose it in the first place? By adhering to a liquid diet and jumping rope. Sounds simple, but intense!
Luckily The Gambler is over and done with, and we have our muscular Marky Mark back and better than ever!
