Well ever since Robert DeNiro did it for Raging Bull thespians think that in order to get critical acclaim, oscar cred, and praise, is to punish your body to gain weight or lose it in order to achieve "realism" or whatever it's called, method acting? Same principle as female actors that think that in order to get that coveted oscar they must get roles which totally degrade them in vile situations. really sad commentary on this segment of society.
but then again there's those that use the 'gain/lose weight' for a role excuse to pig out or cover their drug use/disease/anorexia.
