It's likely that Pratt's weight was one of the reasons Pratt's character Andy Dwyer was so charming; his chubbiness added to his innocence and relatability. Knowing this, Pratt actually set out to gain weight while filming Parks and Recreation. "It became a bit of a game, how fat can I get and how fast," he told Men's Health. "I would eat four burgers at every read. I became really fat and got up to almost 300lb." As you can imagine, eating with little regard for your body's actual needs is disastrous for your health, a fact Pratt learned the hard way. "I had real health issues that were affecting me in a major way," he said in the interview with Men's Health. "It's bad for your heart, your skin, your system, your spirit."
