Colin Farrell gained 45 pounds in 60 days for the new movie The Lobster.
In Colin Farrell’s new movie The Lobster, the Irish actor plays a recently single man who needs to find love in 60 days or he ends up turning into a lobster. Colin Farrell told ET that he gained 45 pounds in just two months to prepare for the movie.
“I was wondering, ‘How is he doing it? How is he doing it so fast?’ and then he’s like he’s like, ‘I just eat Haagen-Dazs or ice cream or whatever,'” Reilly recounted. “I was like, ‘But how can you eat that much ice cream in a day without getting a freeze headache?’ And without missing a beat, he was like, ‘Oh, I just warm it up and just drink it.'”
“In the microwave,” Farrell added. “I was always a better drinker than an eater so I just applied that rule!”
Farrell, revealed his diet was only fun for “two days” and his health quickly suffered.
After the movie, Farrell quickly lost the weight saying, “I dropped the weight so quickly just by starving and working out,” he explained.
The comedy, which also stars Rachel Weisz and Ben Wishaw, hits theaters Friday.
