Jeffrey Dean Morgan Weight Loss: He Lost 40 Pounds For Role
It’s scary what some actors will do for a part! Jeffrey dropped over 40 pounds to play Erastus “Deaf” Smith on the History Channel miniseries, Texas Rising, reports the Daily Mail.
40 pounds! Yikes! Jeffrey wanted to be accurate to the true-life characters depicted in the mini-series, as Erastus had tuberculosis. The disease, once known as The Consumption, wastes people away so Jeffrey shed his hunky self for one that looked frail and thin!
So how did Jeffrey lose the weight? He revealed his shocking diet methods on the May 21 episode of the Today show.
“I ate a can of tuna fish a day. I did it in the most unhealthy way possible,” Jeffrey said. “I didn’t consult with a doctor or anything. We said that maybe we should lose, like, 10 pounds I just kept going and going.”
