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.

05:27For real.

05:28For real.

05:29For real.

05:30For real.

05:31For real.

05:32For real.

05:33For real.

05:33for real.

05:34for real.
