Anthony underwent quite the transformation for the film, sporting grey hair, beard and a pot belly.
In a previous interview, he said it was not difficult getting into character.
His body would begin to ache when he stopped exercising for a few days. Indulging in food and not bathing for more than 10 days also helped.
After playing the role for a while, Anthony felt his health deteriorate and even had problems walking.
“That mode, that energy, sometimes I sit and think, ‘What’s wrong with me? I look sad,’” he said.
