Robert de Niro puts on an astonishing 70 pounds for his role in Raging Bull

For his critically-acclaimed role as Jake LaMotta in the Martin Scorsese film, Raging Bull, Mr. Robert de Niro went on a 4 month binge eating trip to Europe where he managed to increase his weight from 145 to 215 pounds.  This is an incredibly, borderline dangerous amount to put on in such a short time period.
