When did the food problems/addiction start with Brando?

It's weird to suddenly ballooned up so rapidly. I mean most obese people start of being fat most of their life, but not up until his 40s he still looked fairly normal and healthy. Did he just have enough of being a Hollywood pin up and think why not just get fat? Or did he have a break down?

I read once that even when Brando was a young man in his 20's, he would often pig out voraciously on junk food, and then he would work out like a mad man to keep the fat off.

So it sounds to me that the main change later in life is not his eating habits but rather that he stopped bothering to do the necessary work to keep the fat off.

I read that he would vomit up the food after indulging.
