Mark Wahlberg says gaining weight "took a toll" on him. The Hollywood actor had to pile on the pounds for his role in 'Father Stu' and he admits having to gain 30 pounds was very difficult for him, and he ate 11,000 calories a day to ensure he could put the weight on.

He said: "I put on 30 pounds and went from being a guy who was in fighting shape to a guy who was wheelchair-bound, suffering from a rare muscular degenerative disease.
