Jim Carrey hated dieting for film

Los Angeles: Hollywood actor Jim Carrey went on a strict diet for his new film, ‘The Incredible Burt Wonderstone’ but didn`t quite like the experience.

The 51-year-old feels getting in shape was difficult, reports contactmusic.com. "It was tough to get in shape to play street magician Steve Gray, but now that we are done with shooting, I can regain the weight I lost," said Carrey. Carrey, who appears shirtless in few scenes in the film, insisted that it won`t be a regular thing, and joked: "I figured that its Matthew McConaughey`s thing." Carrey is not the only actor to undertake a tough diet for a role, Hugh Jackman had consumed nothing but water for 36 hours to prepare for ‘Les Miserables’. IANS
