Mark Wahlberg lost 60 pounds for 'The Gambler'; later ate till he was sick

Los Angeles: Actor Mark Wahlberg, who lost a whopping 60 pounds on a liquid diet for his role in 'The Gambler,' says after he dropped his strict diet, he ate until he was sick.

"The first thing I ate was a huge pancake, eggs over easy, English muffins, home fries, bacon, sausage. You know, you wait for it so long, and this English muffin, when it came it wasn't brown enough. Normally, I'm not like a take-it-back kind of guy... but I said, 'You have to make this golden brown. I want the nooks and the crannies, I want the butter dripping off.' I ate until I was sick," he told New York Post's Page Six.

Wahlberg, who recently asked for a pardon from assaults he committed as a teen, said he's now just trying to be a better person.

"I've been spending the last 27 years trying to correct the mistakes that I made and trying to be the best person I could be, the best father I could be, and that's why (I applied for a pardon)," he said.
