Jeffrey Dean Morgan went all out for his latest role!
The former "Grey's Anatomy" star dropped a staggering 40 pounds for his role in "Texas Rising" by following a strict diet of just one can of tuna per day.
The 6'2" actor was encouraged to lose 10 pounds from his 175-pound frame, but he took it way too far ... weighing in at just 130 pounds during shooting.
"He had a consumption of tuberculosis," Morgan explained on "Today" last week. "And so I got there and I was probably about 175. I left and I was about 130."
"I ate a can of tuna fish a day," he continued. "I did it in the most unhealthy way possible...I didn't consult with a doctor or anything. We had said maybe we should lose, like, 10 pounds, and I just kept going and going, and by the end of the movie, I was just [moving] like a snail!"
The "P.S. I Love You" hunk isn't the only celeb to drop some serious weight for a role. Matthew McConaughey slimmed down from 185 pounds to 135 pounds for his award-winning role in "Dallas Buyers Club" by following a restrictive diet and intense workout regime.
Meanwhile, his "Dallas Buyers Club" co-star, Jared Leto, lost 30 pounds on a month-long fast to play an AIDs patient for the film. The 5-foot-9 star dropped from 146 pounds to a shockingly thin 116 pounds!
Both actors took home Oscar gold for their roles, but they have admitted that the transformation took a toll on their bodies.
