Mark Wahlberg Is Almost Unrecognizable After Weight Gain in First Father Stu Set Photos
Mark Wahlberg s recent weight gain (and some clever prosthetics) have rendered the actor unrecognizable for upcoming biopic Father Stu.
Much hoo-ha is often made when an actor emerges transformed for a new role, and while the effects of many of them tend to be exaggerated for publicity, the sight of Mark Wahlberg filming Father Stu is definitely worthy of fuss.
The Fighter and
Transformers star looks truly transformed as he replaces his patented muscular physique with a large beer belly and double chin to play the real-life boxer-turned-priest.
Mark Wahlberg has said that he plans to gain 30 pounds in 6 weeks for his role in the upcoming faith-based drama Stu, and in a series of recent set photos, Wahlberg looks to be pretty close, having incredibly transformed himself for the role.
Mark Wahlberg is seen showing off his recent 20lb weight gain while filming his new faith-based drama Stu on Friday.
The actor, who has been piling on pounds to play a boxer-turned-priest in the Rosalind Ross-directed flick, also had some help from a fat suit and prosthetics to achieve the transformation.
On set in Los Angeles, the 49-year-old could be seen with a chin prosthetic to give him a more portly look as he filmed with costar Mel Gibson.
