This Rotten Week: Predicting Unbroken, The Gambler And Into The Woods Reviews![]() As it turns out, Mark Wahlberg did two rather crazy things while preparing to play the lead role in Rupert Wyatt's The Gambler. As we've known about for the last couple weeks, the actor dropped a surprising and dangerous 60 pounds to play the part - but what you may not know is that he also took part in some very high stakes gambling and wound up losing a whole lot of money. We're talking $45,000.

Wait, Mark Wahlberg Lost How Much Money Preparing For The Gambler?![]() In preparation for his performance as the titular Jim Bennett in The Gambler, Mark Wahlberg made serious sacrifices to his own health and dropped a scary 60 pounds. This idea isn't that rare in Hollywood, as actors like Christian Bale and Robert De Niro have previously made headlines for similar taking similar actions, but what makes Wahlberg's case somewhat different is the fact that he experienced a very strange side effect of his weight loss.

The Gambler Trailer Boasts A Skinny Mark Wahlberg And Tons Of John Goodman F-Bombs![]() Is Mark Wahlberg finally in contention for an Oscar? It certainly looks like he could be, because the first images to emerge from The Gambler prove that the usually beefy actor has undergone quite the transformation to star in Rupert Wyatt’s remake. In fact, Wahlberg has even claimed to have lost 60 pounds to play the role, which is especially impressive when you compare his size in the drama to how he looked in Transformers: Age Of Extinction.

See Mark Wahlberg After Losing 60 Pounds For The Gambler![]() Adding John Goodman to any movie is a way to better pique our interest.

John Goodman Joins Mark Wahlberg For The Gambler Remake![]() We can expect this remake to be pretty big, as Lange joins box office champion Mark Whalberg as his mother.
