Once the actor had to gain much weight. It was for his role in Stan & Ollie. But John refused to become a 280-pound person as the prototype of his character was in real life. It was a really complicated task for him, because before that, Reilly managed to lose 30 pounds and that was not very easy. He didn’t want to gain weight again. Instead of that, he was wearing a fat suit.
