A big problem”

And it is for this role that he received from Matt Damon a valuable adviceBut unfortunately sent too late. In fact, as Josh Hartnett, host of The Tonight Show, told Jimmy Fallon, the actor from the Jason Bourne saga advised him “to avoid getting fatProblem, it had already been done….

He gave me a lot of good advice. One in particular – and it didn’t help me at all: he told me not to gain weight already for the role. I gained about 30 pounds for the role and he said to me: “You’ll never lose it, man. (…) You’ll spend the rest of your life trying to get rid of it, but it won’t work because your body will want to stay that weight. You’ll try to get down that size, lose that weight, but it will keep coming back.”

Taking the situation with humor, Josh Hartnett concludes: “I thought, “Thanks, Matt. Thanks for telling me now. I’ve already gained this weight.” Now I don’t eat anymore.”

Even Matt Damon would have told him that it wasn’t necessary gain weight after 40because it is very difficult to lose them again. This is what happened in particular to Robert De Niro, who in 1980 turned into wild bullenlargement of 27 kilograms for the role of Jake La Motta. A corpulence that he never managed to modify, maintaining a more massive silhouette than the one he had had until then.
