In a new interview with Varietyhe explained: ‘I heard that when he was going to do The Lovely Bones, he had microwaved Haagen-Dazs and drank it.
‘So I started doing that. I would go get two dozen donuts and eat them all. I really started to pack on a few pounds.
But he admitted he didn’t find the experience enjoyable, adding: “It’s fun for a week or so, and then you feel bad about yourself, so I did it for a while.”
