How much did McCarthy have to eat to 'get into shape' for this movie?

It's inspiring what actors will put their bodies through for a role!

We've seen Christian Bale do it multiple times but the dedication from McCarthy to get so huge was amazing. What a transformation!

She's actually lost a lot of weight over the last few years.

She loved her Chinese food in the movie so she had to look the part.

LOL, it was likely just a very minor lifestyle adjustment.

I read that she used the same regimen The Rock used for Hercules.
