00:00Mark Wahlberg is gaining a ton of weight for a role.
00:07Now, what's the name of the movie, Roxanne?
00:09Stew.
00:10And he plays...
00:11He's eating a lot of Brunswick and beef stew.
00:14Yeah, or he ate a guy named Stew.
00:17It's about a boxer named Stew who has a spiritual experience and becomes a priest.
00:22Okay, what, he got hit in the head and suddenly had God knocked into him?
00:25What happened?
00:26Yeah, so that's what...
00:27Well, you know, it's funny because Wahlberg plays a lot of boxing roles, doesn't he?
00:31The fighter, he was in that as a boxer.
00:33All right, so it's called Stew?
00:34It's called Father Stew.
00:36Yes.
00:36Father Stew.
00:37Father Stew is the name of the movie.
00:38He cooks his dad?
00:40Yes, he cooked his dad.
00:42He's a boxer who sees the light, follows Big JC and becomes a priest.
00:46All right, Father Stew is the movie.
00:48And for the movie, how many pounds he had to put on?
00:51How many pounds of weight?
00:54483.
00:54Well, that amount too.
00:56But it was 20 pounds in three weeks.
00:59And he's trying to pack on another 10.
01:01So he's trying to do 30 pounds total.
01:03That's what I thought.
01:03I thought I read 30.
01:04So he needs to gain 30 total pounds for the role as Father Stew.
01:12Okay.
01:13And to do this, he's eating 7,000 calories a day.
01:17Before we go over the list of everything he's shoving in his face, that's pretty...
01:22Gain 30 pounds.
01:23That's a lot of weight.
01:25And what kind of pounds is it?
01:26And my concern is, and this is why I would have trouble doing this, if I were an actor,
01:31I'd be afraid that I wouldn't lose the weight.
01:34And you know when you were a kid and you'd made faces and your mom or grandma would say,
01:38better stop making those faces.
01:40It's going to stay like that.
01:42It's going to stay like that, exactly.
01:43I'd be afraid of, if I put on all kinds of weight, that it would stay and I couldn't get rid of it.
01:49Like, who was the actress?
01:53Renee Zellweger.
01:54What was that movie she did?
01:55Zellweger.
01:55Oh, a great couple of movies.
01:57She did it twice for Bridget Jones' Diary.
01:59Oh, that's it.
01:59So, Bridget Jones' Diary, Renee Zellweger, didn't she put on all kinds of weight for that?
02:05She put on 30 pounds, as much as Mark Wahlberg.
02:07And she's a tiny, tiny thing.
02:09Yeah.
02:09Did she lose the weight?
02:10Did she go...
02:11Yes.
02:11She did snap back?
02:11Because I told you guys, I saw her and how she's in phenomenal shape.
02:15I'm sure you interviewed Renee Zellweger.
02:16No, I didn't.
02:17I just saw her.
02:18Oh, my God.
02:19Holy crap.
02:20Somebody that Roxanne has not interviewed, Renee Zellweger.
02:23I told you who she was with.
02:25Harvey Weinstein.
02:26Oh, jeez.
02:27And that made her throw up so much.
02:29So, maybe that's why she looks so small, standing next to him.
02:31So, Marky Mark Wahlberg, for this role, needs to gain 30 pounds in a couple of weeks?
02:37Yeah.
02:38Ten more.
02:39He's gotten to his 20 mark.
02:40Look at the photos of him.
02:42Oh, I know.
02:42He's all ripped in one photo.
02:44The other photo looks like froggy.
02:46He's bloated.
02:47I am losing weight, first of all.
02:48Second, look at his face.
02:50His face is all puffed up, and he's lost his muscle definition.
02:55So, the 20 pounds he put on, it's changed his body completely.
02:59I couldn't do this.
03:00I'd be afraid.
03:00Well, it's not good to go fluctuate like that, up and down, right?
03:03Well, if you do it constantly, but if you just...
03:05Actors do it constantly.
03:07Have you seen The Machinist with Christian Bale?
03:09Yeah.
03:09Almost killed him.
03:10Oh, my God.
03:10Oh, that's right.
03:11I forgot about that.
03:12He was like, a pound.
03:14Literally, a pound.
03:16So, Mark Wahlberg is eating 7,000 calories a day to put on the weight.
03:23He's going to have a heart attack.
03:24And they claim that they enlisted doctors and nutritionists to make sure that he's not killing
03:29himself.
03:30How do you do that?
03:31I really need the funky bunch to step in and put a stop to this.
03:34He's eating eight meals a day.
03:37Here's the list.
03:38He starts at 3 a.m.
03:40Who's he?
03:40The Rock?
03:41Four eggs.
03:43Then, eight eggs and six strips of bacon.
03:45A cup of rice.
03:46Two tablespoons of olive oil and a protein shake.
03:49Then, later on, he has some kind of ground beef, a burger patty, meatloaf.
03:55Then, another cup of rice.
03:57Then, he has half a roasted chicken.
03:59Another cup of rice.
04:01Then, he has some cooked spinach.
04:02Oh, we throw some healthy cooked spinach in here.
04:05Then, he has a cup of cooked beets.
04:08Beets are disgusting.
04:10I want to beat beets.
04:12You know, I can't think of anything more disgusting than beets.
04:15All right.
04:16What else?
04:17Oh, then, he has an eight-ounce veal or pork chop.
04:20Then, he has a four-ounce piece of salmon.
04:22Another cup of rice.
04:23More olive oil.
04:24More beets.
04:25Then, he has eight ounces of some kind of steak.
04:28Eight ounces of some kind of white fish.
04:30And then, tons of vegetables.
04:33This is awful.
04:34Why is he just going to look like six culver milkshakes or something?
04:37Wait a sec.
04:37At night, there's a mash consisting of one cup of cooked steel-cut oatmeal,
04:43two tablespoons of applesauce, two tablespoons of jam or jelly,
04:47two tablespoons of almond butter, and molasses.
04:51Where's my mash?
04:52These are all healthy foods if you just divide the quantity by five.
04:57Now, the last thing was called a mass gainer,
05:00so he puts on weight while he sleeps before he gets up at 3 a.m.
05:03to start the cycle all over again.
05:06My God.
05:08He also has a cheat day.
05:09He gets to eat pizza, pasta, cookies, whatever.
05:12But, you know, it's not all kinds of junk, really.
05:15Why don't you eat nothing but Wahlburgers, huh?
05:17Exactly.
05:18You'd eat this stuff on a diet.
05:19You just wouldn't eat the quantities that he is.
05:21I'll tell you what.
05:23I'm going to get a PDQ salad.
05:25That's what I'm going to do.
05:26Yeah, for real.
