Hilary Swank gained 19lbs of pure muscle to play a boxer in her Oscar-winning turn in Million Dollar Baby.
As well as working out for five hours a day to achieve the physique needed, Swank told The Hollywood Reporter: "I had to eat 210 grams of protein a day. I had to eat 60 egg whites in a day, and I couldn't. So every morning I would drink them.
"The thing was, I needed nine hours of sleep a night because your muscles have to be able to rest in order to build or you actually reverse yourself. So I slept nine hours a night but I had to wake up in the night and drink protein shakes because I couldn't go that long without eating."
