Jeffrey Dean Morgan Tuna Weight Loss Diet: Actor drops 40 pounds fast

Jeffrey Dean Morgan revealed he ate one can of tuna fish a day long enough to lose 40 pounds in order to become physically ready to play his character in the History Channel miniseries, “Texas Rising.”

“He had a consumption of tuberculosis,” Morgan explained details regarding his character’s disease on “Today” before making the shocking admission regarding how the historical series effected his health. “And so I got there and I was probably about 175. I left and I was about 130.”

So how did the “Grey’s Anatomy” actor manage to lose 45 pounds? Well, according to Morgan, he did it in a very dangerous fashion. “I ate a can of tuna fish a day. I did it in the most unhealthy way possible. I didn’t consult with a doctor or anything,” he confessed. The actor added that initially producers had only asked him to drop 10 pounds for the part — but Morgan took it too far in order to embody the sickly Texas Ranger. “I just kept going and going, and by the end of the movie, I was just [moving] like a snail!”

Morgan’s grizzled character is described as a fifty-something “veteran whose hearing deficiency, coupled with an advanced case of consumption, does not dampen his fighting spirit.”

The determined ranger reportedly refused to bow out of the revolution against Mexico in 1836 despite the obstacles he faced. “Even at the brink of death, Deaf is a fierce loyalist to Texas and to Sam Houston (Bill Paxton), and he insists on riding off with the Rangers to rescue Emily West (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) from the sadistic Colonel Portilla (Harold Torres), one of Santa Anna’s right hand men.”
