47-year-old Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey transformed his body in order to play gold prospector Kenney Wells for the film "Gold." He added 47 pounds to his typically athletic frame, and shaved his head and wore a toupee. The film, which co-stars Bryce Dallas Howard, arrives in theaters January 27th. McConaughey told E!, "My favorite food is cheeseburgers, so I was eating cheeseburgers all the time. I was making cheeseburgers. I was trying out all these fast food restaurants that I've never had, or I've only had one time." He said losing the weight was much harder, but he pulled it off with a little determination.
