Brendan Fraser has candidly discussed the grueling diet he subjected himself to in order to achieve his sculpted physique on George Of The Jungle.
The 54-year-old starred in the 1997 movie as 'the White Ape,' a human dressed only in a loincloth who was raised by gorillas in the Ugandan jungle.
In order to get the body for the role, Fraser 'starved' himself so much he could not remember his PIN 'because my brain was misfiring,' he told Variety.

He made the admission to his Airheads co-star Adam Sandler as they reunited to chat for the publication's Actors On Actors series.
Fraser pointed out why his figure was so important to the movie, saying: 'The wardrobe was there was no wardrobe.'
Knowing that he would be dressed only in a loincloth, Brendan found himself 'waxed' and 'starved of carbohydrates.'
He shared: 'I would drive home after work and stop to get something to eat. I needed some cash one day, and I went to the ATM, and I couldn’t remember my PIN number because my brain was misfiring. Banging on the thing. I didn’t eat that night.'
