He bulked up a ton to play a boxer and then he got fat, something that's relatively easy to do when you've just recently added a bunch of mass. Not saying I'd like to or even be able to do this, but compared to some of the other actors we're talking about, this doesn't even register as difficult, yet alone "insane".
Nah he actually shed lots of weight to look like a lean boxer, he didn't bulk.
Once he did that he put on a record 60 pounds to play the fat retired depressed LaMotta.
He subsequently won an Oscar for his efforts.
You make a good point though.
