Wahlberg discussed his weight gain process during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel. He explained that after he was finished shooting the boxing scenes of the movie, he was encouraged to put on as much weight as he could.

He made it his goal to put on 30 pounds while he and the film crew shot the rest of the movie. He shared that production wanted him to gain weight in a healthy way, but he wanted to eat all of his favorite foods.

Besides filming his new movie over the last month, Wahlberg and the rest of his family were hit with the devasting loss.

Wahlberg revealed that he wanted everything in sight, including pancakes, delicious baked treats from bakeries, and the foods from Denny's. Whatever he did definitely worked because he made such a dramatic transformation.

Wahlberg also explained his workout schedule during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres. He admitted that there was a time when he would wake up at 2:30 am to fit a work out in his busy day, as Wahlberg explained:

"I was overseas...had come home to visit and by the time the family went to bed I’d be up for the rest of the night… I’d wake up about 12 then work out."

Besides filming his new movie over the last month, Wahlberg and the rest of his family were hit with the devasting loss of his mother, Alma Wahlberg. She passed away in April at the age of 78.

Wahlberg and his brother Donnie Wahlberg both announced her death and penned heartfelt tributes to their late mother. Donnie shared an incredibly special video of clips from her life over the last several years.

Many fans fell in love with the actors' mother when she appeared on their A&E reality show, "The Wahlburgers," which showed the running of their family restaurant.
