London
(ANI):
Movie
hardman
Mickey
Rourke
has
been
asked
to
slim
down
for
his
role
as
Russian
villain
Whiplash
in
the
new
Iron
Man
sequel.
The
actor,
who
gained
30
pounds
of
muscle
to
play
washed-up
grappler
Randy
''The
Ram''
Robinson
in
The
Wrestler,
is
said
to
be
struggling
to
lose
his
beefed-up
physique
from
the
2008
film,
reports
The
Daily
Express.
Apparently,
Iron
Man
2
director
Jon
Favreau
had
ordered
him
to
lose
the
extra
flab
for
the
role.
Therefore,
according
to
New
York
Magazine,
the
Manhattan-based
movie
star's
trainer
is
helping
him
shed
the
excess
weight
by
putting
him
on
a
fast
and
only
allowing
him
to
dine
out
once
a
week.
