Chris Pratt
Chris Pratt took drastic measures to lose weight after he was initially rejected for the role of Scott Hatteberg in Moneyball because he was too fat for the part. He was unwilling to take no for an answer, so he started hitting the gym, upped his calorie intake to 4,000 calories a day, and drank a bunch of water. He decided to shred the pounds as quickly as possible until he was eventually rewarded by being offered the role.
Pratt’s workouts included sessions of P90X, running, swimming, boxing, kickboxing, and triathlon. He even reached the degree of working with a trainer six days a week to maintain his physique. Pratt starred in hits like Zero Dark Thirty and Jurassic World.
Chrissy Metz
Like many of us, Chrissy Metz also struggled with obesity early and her weight loss journey has been an inspiration to many. The actress who plays Kate Pearsons in the show This Is Us lost weight at her own pace. She got the big dollars that she could use to pay her mortgage and eventually showered with Emmy nominations.
After Metz had a panic attack and was hospitalized on her 30th birthday, she started taking things more seriously and responsibly. She started a 2000-calorie diet, avoided most of the unhealthy foods, and started walking 20 minutes every day. This made a massive difference to her physical and mental health. She lost 100 pounds in 5 months.
Christian Bale
Christian Bale’s portrayal of Trevor Reznik, a factory worker riddled with psychological problems in the 2005 thriller The Machinist, gets more attention than all of his roles combined. To play Reznik, he dropped 25kg in just four months. He subsided on a diet of black coffee, one apple, and a can of tuna per day. He used this extremely calorie-sparse diet to ditch the weight from his previous role in 2000’s American Psycho.
Now, the spartan diet serves little more than a reminder of the effect of a low-calorie diet to the degree that it can cause a lot of stress on the body. In fact, Bale’s method of ‘binge-eating and weightlifting’ for 2015’s Batman Begins sounds much more approachable.
