The actor gained 60 pounds for the role
He held the record for the biggest weight gain in a movie role for seven years. For Raging Bull, he gained 60 pounds, as we’ve witnessed. However, Vincent D’Onofrio, who appeared in Full Metal Jacket, outweighed him by 70 pounds.
Vincent D’Onofrio adds, “It revolutionized my life,” referring to the way people saw him when he was bigger. Among those shown is one of the actors from the movie Adventures in Babysitting, which was released in theaters the same year.
