Mark Wahlberg, 49, is glimpsed peeling off his fat suit on the set of Father Stu in Malibu - a movie about a boxer-turned-priest for which he has gained an additional 20 pounds.
I have written before about Wahlberg’s dramatic weight change for an upcoming movie role by a recent picture of him in pagesix.com on set blew me away. I would not have recognized him if I saw him out on the street. In addition to his weight gain, he is wearing a fat suit and the change is shocking. All in the name of art, I guess.
Wahlberg has been putting together a project for the last six years that he really wanted to do. It is the story of a real-life boxer who then became a priest known as “Father Stu” according to pagesix.com. The story is based on Father Stuart Long who was from Helena, Montana. It must be a fascinating story if Wahlberg was willing to gain so much weight for a role.
