Yesterday, the drama crime has been a hot topic as the "Ted" actor, Mark Wahlberg, appears so skinny in a trailer released. Wahlberg plays the role of Jim Bennet, a literature professor with a gambling problem, who soon get into troubles with the gangsters. .
According to Slate, "Ted" actor told USA Today:
"Forget losing the weight. Being believable as a teacher was one of my greatest challenges and most rewarding."
He also added, "I was on a liquid diet for about a month under the watchful eye of doctors," he told News.com.au in June. "I continued to lose weight during the shoot but I was relieved when it was over and I could start eating again. It's a lot easier to gain it than it is to lose it."
Cinema Blend reported that the actor lost 60 lbs. in order to fit for the role.
As per Slate, the Best Actor race for this year includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Keaton, Steve Carell, and Eddie Redmayne. The publication added the two of these actors underwent even more dramatic physical transformations than Wahlberg.
