Matthew McConaughey says he put on so much weight gorging on burgers, pizza and beer for six months for his new movie that he grew breasts
The film hunk gained 47 pounds and developed moobs to play an overweight middle-aged businessman in Gold
FILM hunk Matthew McConaughey piled on so much weight for new film Gold that he grew breasts.
Matthew, who is known for his chiselled physique, says he developed moobs after putting on 47 pounds to play a middle aged businessman.
But he boasted that he binged on burgers, pizza and beer for six months in the process — ultimately leading to his feminine fatty deposits.
Matthew, who plays the gold prospector Kenny Wells, even shows off his flab by exposing his bare buttocks during the film.
Matthew said: "After eating all that - you get some titties. It was really great fun for a while to let myself go.
"I called myself the walrus, and when I filmed the nude scene I was like look at this walrus ass up there.
Matthew recalled how his family watched him binge eat for weeks on end.
"My nickname was Captain Fun for six months 'cause I was yes to pizza night, even if it was Tuesday morning. I was yes to going to the carnival at midnight on a school night. I was like yes, yes, yes.

"So pizza night in our house was Monday, Wednesday and Friday night.
"You start the day with double cheeseburgers and beer..that will do it. You put on 47 pounds pretty quickly. I didn't even take the stairs to the second floor - no exercising at all."
And Matthew says his mum was shocked by his bulking too.
He continued: "She kind of said, 'Matthew, what... oh jeez... well... I like it better than when you were really, really skinny. Golly. You look like your dad. OK, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do."
Matthew also thanked his wife for tolerating his weight gain during the months spent filming in Thailand.
He said: "You do all this work and people see it, and when they see it, they think you made it last week.
"But some of us have been a part of it for five years. We picked up the family, uprooted everything, went to Thailand, did it, they came with me.
"I have a wife that thankfully tells me when I go to work, 'Don't look in the rearview mirror. Go do your work, get obsessed with that. I got it. I got your back.' So it makes the whole process so much more enjoyable for me."
