Explanation

To portray Jake LaMotta in the later scenes of Raging Bull (1980), Robert De Niro gained approximately 60 pounds (27 kg), transforming himself from the fit boxer to the overweight retired version. This dramatic physical transformation was widely praised and contributed to his Academy Award win for Best Actor. The film required De Niro to first get into fighting shape, then rapidly gain weight for the later scenes.
