I'm sure he's gained the weight with the advice and close watch of his doctor and a nutritionist. Isn't he supposed to start losing it come December for the next phase of the movie? I think he's shooting the later years of the wrestler first.

Yes he is shooting those parts first. Then he will lose weight and shoot the remaining parts around May.

True, he must have checked with his doctor. And he will on strict diet and regular checkups. These things are not to be messed with esp at the age of 50. But still to go to that lenghts for a movie requires guts, passion and determination.

And its not just the weight; the most impressive thing is that he is getting proper training and actually learning the art of wrestling.👏

I am excited too. He is going to nail it. A terrific movie and a performace par excellence. What more can we ask for.
