But Jared Leto's weight loss for The Dallas Buyers Club went far beyond losing a few pounds.
The actor has revealed he simply 'didn't eat' in his bid to lose 30 pounds for the film role.
The 30 Seconds to Mars frontman dropped down to 116
pounds alongside his co-star Matthew McConaughey, who lost 38 pounds, to play a
transsexual with AIDS and admitted it left him
feeling very fragile.

Club
The 41-year-old rocker told EOnline.com: 'I got down
to 116 or something. I just basically didn't eat. I ate very little.
'I had done similar things with weight, but this was
different, I think the role demanded that commitment...
'It was about how does
that effect how I walk, how I talked, who I am, how I feel. You know, you feel
very fragile and delicate and unsafe.'

The singer and actor admitted some of his family and
friends were shocked by his dramatic weight-loss, as they were not aware he was
doing the movie.
He explained: 'It's not a great thing to see. If you
run into people or see family who don't know what you're doing, they think that
you're sick.'
Like Matthew, Jared has slowly been regaining weight
since they finished filming the movie.

In January Matthew admitted he relieved to be almost back
to his normal weight of 165 pounds because the extreme weight-loss had taken a
toll on his health.
He said: 'Your organs [and] muscles shrink, your
organs shrink [and] my stomach has shrunk as well.'
'I'm doing cardio but I'll tell you what, the more
I've learned is - and I think it comes with age too - is it's 90 percent diet.
It's a matter of how much I eat or how little I eat.'
