(CNN)Matthew McConaughey is a pro when it comes to undergoing physical transformations for his film roles and in his latest movie "Gold," he's nearly unrecognizable. The actor told an audience Monday night at a screening for the film that he gained 45 pounds to play businessman, Kenny Wells, who strikes gold in Indonesia. "I was getting pretty damn fat as Kenny Wells," McConaughey said. "I was an all star in my family, nicknamed Captain Fun during that time because I was yes to pizza night, every night and it was cheeseburgers and beer."
