E!: How long do you think it will take him to lose the weight?

LD: It varies. For him, he can drop it pretty quick. Within a few weeks you’ll probably see a drastic change. But he’s been doing this his whole life, whereas for the average person, it may take months on end. Not everyone’s body is the same and his meal plan may not work for you or I.

On April 8, Mark spoke to Jimmy Kimmel about his upcoming movie, in which he portrays a fighter-turned-actor. At the time, he said that he’d ideally gain the weight by eating “a 20-piece chicken nugget, hot wings from Kentucky Fried Chicken with a six-pack of beer,” but, clearly, that’s not what happened.

“They want me to do it as healthy as possible. I’m like, ‘Dude, I’ve been on such a regimen for so long, I just want to eat everything in sight,'” he shared. “I want to go to bakeries, I want to go to Denny’s, I want to get pancakes. I want to get everything that I could possibly get my hands on.”
