LONDON - Actor Denzel Washington has revealed that he had fun gaining weight for his new film ‘The Taking of Pelham 123′ because he could feast on whatever junk food he desired.
“Getting there was such fun. Milkshakes, hamburgers… middle of the night a little Haagen Daz (ice cream). Anything I wanted just eat, eat, eat,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying.
The star had to gain 40 pounds for the character he plays alongside John Travolta in the film.
The ‘ Remember the Titans’ star added that his wife actually liked his fuller figure.
He said: “She was OK with it, I think every wife wants their husband to be plump and fatten them up. She doesn’t eat, she cooks all this food for me, but she doesn’t it eat.”
However, returned to his toned physique after shooting the film. (ANI)
