Quaid Piled On The Pounds For Clinton Role
By VJ, WENNSunday, May 16, 2010
Actor DENNIS QUAID binged on junk food in a desperate bid to gain weight for his role playing former U.S. president BILL CLINTON.
The star portrays the ex-leader in upcoming movie The Special Relationship, opposite Michael Sheen as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and he had to gain two-and-a-half stone (16 kilograms) for the part.
And Quaid admits he gorged himself “like a baby on a feeding schedule” in order to bulk up.
He says, “I could have worn a suit to enhance my weight but I didn’t want to go that route. I did it the way he (Clinton) did. I went to McDonald’s every day.”
