Jared Leto Weight Gain - Jared Adds 50 Pounds!

By Diana Mimon, About.com

From Fit to Fat

Jared has long been recognized as one of Hollywood's hunkiest actors, even dating the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Cameron Diaz. At his usual weight of 140 pounds, he was always considered to be lean and toned.

One Role Leads to Many Rolls

He signed on to play John Lennon's murderer, Mark David Chapman, in the movie Chapter 27. Rather than wear a specially designed fat suit, Leto chose to go the old fashioned route of gaining the weight himself. Now that's what we call dedication to the craft!

The McDonald's Diet

He packed the pounds on, 50 to be exact, by allegedly eating burgers, fries, and melted pints of ice cream. Since he did zero exercise during filming, Jared's health was closely monitored by a doctor. Good luck to him shedding all that extra weight. Maybe he should talk to Bridget Jones
