Washington
(ANI):
Actor
Matt
Damon
has
revealed
that
he
talked
to
Hollywood
legend
Robert
De
Niro
to
seek
help
in
gaining
weight
for
his
new
film
'The
Informant".
'The
Departed" star
was
conscious
of
how
De
Niro
had
piled
on
pounds
for
his
film
'Raging
Bull".
"I
talked
to
(Robert)
De
Niro
before
I
did
it
and
he
had
obviously
piled
on
the
pounds
really
famously
for
Raging
Bull,
putting
on
60
pounds," Contactmusic
quoted
him
as
saying.
“I
asked
him
about
it
and
he
said,
'Well,
the
first
15
pounds
is
really
fun
and
then
you
have
to
go
to
work
after
that.
It
was
true
except
I
found
the
30
pounds
to
be
really
fun
and
then,
kind
of
towards
the
end,
I
thought
I
should
get
rid
of
this
weight,
but
I
wasn't
excited
about
getting
rid
of
it," he
added.
Damon
gained
30
pounds
to
play
Mark
Whitacre
in
the
new
Steven
Soderbergh
film.
He
added:
"I
just
started
eating...
It
felt
fantastic
putting
on
weight;
I
never
had
that
much
fun
making
a
movie.
I
just
ate
whatever
I
wanted
to."
