I called Tom Hanks to help me lose weight, says Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey has revealed that he sought help from Tom Hanks, who has lost weight drastically for many roles, to help him shed off the kilos for a new flick.

McConaughey told People Magazine that he actually called the veteran actor and had a great conversation with him about what he learned about losing weight for 'Philadelphia' and 'Cast Away'.

The 'Magic Mike' star, who will be playing the role of an HIV-positive man dealing with his diagnosis in his next project, said that he also consulted a nutritionist about the best way to do lose weight.
