With Tom Hanks in Cast Away
Tom Hanks underwent not one but two makeovers in one of his most recognisable roles. In order to play a middle-aged man, Hanks gained 50 pounds before filming began. To prepare for the rest of the film, though, he took a year off after filming those scenes. Hanks lost 55 pounds in just four months by adhering to a healthy diet and regular exercise. Seafood, vegetables, and a few fruits made up the bulk of his diet. Vegetables were his go-to when he was hungry. This eating plan ultimately gained notoriety as “The Castaway Diet.”
