Mark Wahlberg cuts out food completely for new film

Actor Mark Wahlberg has dramatically made changes to his diet so that he can slim down for his role in upcoming film 'The Gambler'.

The 42-year-old 'Departed' star, who had bulked up for his role in 'Transformers: Age of Extinction', said he wanted to slim down again after for his next role, reported CNN online.

"I began with a liquid diet. Then I completely changed my training programme and gave up wine, bread and pasta. Now I'm eating small portions of protein throughout the day and jumping rope a lot. Everyone is trying to get me to stay thin now," Wahlberg said.
 

Wahlberg, who has four children - Ella, Michael, Brendan and Grace with wife Rhea Durham, is a disciplined person, which he believes is one of the reasons for his phenomenal success.

"I'm just disciplined. I have an appreciation for the fact that I'm in a unique situation to be able to do all the things I want to do. I don't take it for granted, and I don't know how long it will last, so I've got to be on my A game. Today we had a 4:40am call time, so I got up at 1am," he said.
