* DyeingForYourArt:
** Creator/JudeLaw had to gain ten kilograms (twenty-two pounds) of muscle for his role on-location in Romania. As there wasn't any regular fitness equipment around, he did so by carrying his personal trainer around on his back, dragging logs, and pushing a tennis-court roller.
** Creator/NicoleKidman was asked to lose as much weight as possible. She went on the hard-boiled egg diet, which entailed having one egg for breakfast and two to three for dinner. This type of diet is not advisable in the long run, as it is unbalanced, unhealthful, and does not provide one with enough calories. In the end, she ended up losing more weight than she originally desired.
