10 Actors Who Are Unrecognisable For Upcoming Movie & TV Shows
2. Mark Wahlberg - Father Stu
Known primarily for playing roles that require him to be in tip top physical shape, with some of his most notable turns coming in the likes of Pain & Gain and The Fighter, you can imagine just how much of a shock to the system it must've been for Mark Wahlberg when it came time to prepare for his upcoming performance in Father Stu.
In the biopic, Wahlberg will be playing the part of Father Stuart Long, a boxer-turned-priest. But this time around the star is having to seriously pile on the pounds and is still currently doing so in his quest to add 30 lbs of weight to his figure in just six weeks. What likely makes this transformation one of the toughest of his career, however, is the fact that the actor needed to be in boxing shape for the earlier scenes in the film before adding a noticeable amount of size on in a short amount of time for the latter half of the project.
Yet, one quick glance at Wahlberg's Instagram account will show you that he's relishing the challenge, putting away 7,000 calories-a-day to hit the 20lbs mark already.
