Midnight ice-cream feasts helped Vin Diesel bulk up
25/02/2005 - 11:03:48Vin Diesel scoffed a pint of ice-cream every night to help pile on extra weight for his role as real-life gangster Jack DiNorscio in upcoming movie Find Me Guilty.
The XXX star found putting on weight such a tough task, he was forced to hire a trainer to help him bulk up in preparation for playing the chubby wise guy.
The 37-year-old says: "It was a tough, tough job. I had to eat like a pint of ice- cream every night before I went to sleep. I was a bouncer for so many years and I always prioritised the physicality. This was the first experience where I was trying to gain weight."
"I would walk around set with this big gut… There were a lot of people who didn't recognise me when I walked on the set. We did two hours of make-up every day. It was such an incredible experience."
