news Matthew McConaughey Drops to Lowest Weight

[Rappy Veteran]

Matt McConaughey -- or what's left of him -- arrived at LAX this weekend looking skinnier than ever ... just as he planned.

As we previously reported, the usually buff and shirtless 42-year-old is wasting away to play Ron Woodruff in the movie "The Dallas Buyers Club" -- the true story of a man who contracted HIV through drug use in the '80s and has to smuggle life-saving medications from Mexico.

Matthew is reportedly slated to begin production on the movie in New Orleans today ... and he's reportedly the lightest he's ever been ... down more than 30 pounds from his usual weight.

According to People.com, the actor plans to keep his current weight for another month ... and then the weight gain begins.

Wow, he looks bad.

Just focus on his eyes and he looks like Charles Manson.

[Colin McGregor]

I think the biggest holy **** is 50 cent when he did the movie of the football player that got cancer.

It always impresses me that Actors and Actresses do the things they do for various parts. Really shows a dedication to their careers. But for a paycheck like he is probably getting, I would gladly lose some weight.

[DrJohnSmitherson]

Freakishly long neck!

[Asrokhel]

Now only if I could figure out how they lose the weight. I weigh just over 260 pounds, and should only be about 195 pounds at the most for someone my height.

This all depends on the actor/actress. The movie producers hiring personal trainers for the actor is pretty common.

But then again, if you're Lindsay Lohan, just go on a strict meth diet.

They pay people to manage it for them. Cooking/eating proper food with proper workouts and all that. It's easy when you're rich, but for the rest of us..

Burn off more than you eat? I thought that was common knowledge.... Stop eating junk food, be more active and drink water. There you go i just saved you a personal trainer and a dietary chef.

[Dan~]

I bet he can't wait until he can eat meat again (not like that you dirty people)

I hardly eat junk food, but being poor and unable to get work, regardless of how many resumes I send out, it's harder for someone on government assistance to eat properly.

He looks ill, but as said amazing what they will do for their careers

[Kriz]

Unrecognisable, gone to the extreme for this one! Still doesnt look half as bad as Bale did for the Machinist though..

for the above image I posted 50cent said he was on a strictly liquid diet.

The rapper, 34, normally weighs 214 pounds and is often seen shirtless, flaunting his muscles. Yet after nine weeks on a liquid diet, Jackson now weighs just 160 pounds, and appears gaunt.

But what kind of 'liquid diet', because that might help in my case.

Healthier food does cost more then junk food but I've had a couple friends that went on the juice diet and lost a ****load of weight real fast and got really healthy. Hey get this movie and watch it. It's called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead"

I watched this awhile back Asrokhel. Check it out its a great documentary and it will give you some good ideas on a liquid diet if you want to go in that direction. I had a good buddy at work that bought a Jack Lalanne juicer and he went for 60 days and he said he never felt better in his life and he lost over 30lbs. He said the toughest time is that first week but then gets allot easier.

The most striking weight loss cycle for a role I've ever seen was Christian Bale who lost 63 lbs to get to 121 lbs for The Machinist, which he filmed just before bulking way up to 230 lbs for Batman Begins. He did this in 6 months (!!) and was so big Director Chris Nolan had him dump 40 lbs to gett to 190 lbs before filming began.

[Rappy Veteran]

I remember that and the outcry that came from it

[Draconian Guppy]

+1 Christian on teh machinist awe striking to say the least.

[sanctified Veteran]

I remember that and the outcry that came from it

Why outcry?

[Rappy Veteran]

Why outcry?

because everyone thought he was killing himself for a role turns out those people were stupid

If I had the money, I'd buy 60 days worth of Bolthouse Farms' Blue Goodness (1 a day for breakfast) as well as Green Goodness (2 a day for lunch & supper). Unfortunately, I don't have the kind of money it would cost.
