Not so fat in Full Metal Jacket


A lot of people make a big deal about how much weight he put on for FMJ, and the character was supposed to be a big fat tub. But looking at it, he doesn't look all that fat - a little overweight, sure, but not obese or anything.

It was not so much the weight itself, but that the amount he gained was a record for an actor at the time {70 pounds) and may still be. He was quite thin at the time, so it was a big change for him, and he lost it all in less than a year.
