How Colin Farrell Got His Dad Bod for 'The Lobster'
Colin Farrell needed to pack on 40 pounds for his role in "The Lobster," the dystopian Sony film about a near-future world where singles are arrested, so he resorted to a reverse diet that sounds like a typical Memorial Day weekend feast.

It worked like a charm, and only took two months.
"I gasped," Farrell told the Hollywood Reporter of the moment when he saw himself shirtless in the movie. "I'd forgotten what [I] looked like."
"The Lobster" played at Cannes and will be released by Sony later this year.
