Actor Jude Law has revealed that he gained 20 pounds for his role of a former convict in his latest movie 'Dom Hemingway'.

The 41-year-old actor said that he got used to over-indulging and found it difficult to eat normally again, reported the New York Post online.

"It was tough to turn it off at the end. It was allowing myself to say 'yes' to everything, ice cream... Burgers... All the wrong stuff," he said.

The film's director Richard Shepard said he loved Law's commitment to the role but didn't want him to risk his health in the process.

"He was drinking, like, 10 sodas a day, drinking non-alcoholic beer, which is disgusting, and he was pasty-faced from smoking. I was like, 'Just please don't have a heart attack until we are done filming,'" Shepard said.
