Facts About The Legendary Robert De Niro

World record in weight gain

Some movies require severe transformations and De Niro knew exactly what this felt like. For his role in the 1980s movie Raging Bull, De Niro had to gain over 60 pounds which earned him the World Record for Most Weight Gained for a Movie.

De Niro held this record until seven years later in 1987 when Vincent D’Onofrio gained 70 pounds for his role in Metal Jacket. That world record made in the 80s still stands today.
