Mark Wahlberg doesn’t do anything by halves when it comes to preparing for his movies. The actor spoke to Jimmy Fallon on Thursday’s “Tonight Show” about having to consume 11,000 calories a day to play a boxer-turned-priest in his new movie “Stu”.

As Fallon shared side-by-side photos of the three-week transformation, Wahlberg said: “Unfortunately, I had to consume, for two weeks, 7,000 calories, and then for another two weeks, 11,000 calories.

And it was fun for about an hour. “It’s such a hard, physical thing to do. Losing weight, you just kind of tough it out, you just don’t eat, and exercise.

And this, even when you’re full, I would wake up after a meal and have another meal. I was eating every three hours. It was not fun.” Fallon
