The conversation further explored James’s film career, and how this massive change happened only in a month- “So I wanted to look a little different, you know, right for the part and just have a different character. So I got down to 230. I worked hard, you know? Like, that’s low for me. And uh, we shot it and thought we were done with it. And then I got to pick up a couple of scenes. I’m 280 now. “
The 56-year-old podcaster was charmed by James’ confession. Rogan inquired about the number of days the production house gave him to lose the weight, to which James responded ” I have as much as I… you know, we’ll shoot it when I’m ready. But it’s like, it’s waiting there to do a couple of scenes. I could lose it quickly. I could fast and lose it, seriously. I can lose it in… I could, I could lose it quick.”
