Thomas Haden Church, who plays the villain Sandman in Spider-Man 3, was told to bulk up for the part, according to IMDb.
The actor was apparently shocked when producers told him that he would have to work out intensely for a year in order to fill the demands of the role.
Church reportedly said, "When I met with the producers and director last year they said, 'We probably need you to get in a specific physical shape for the movie. Do you mind taking your shirt off?'
I took my shirt off and the director Sam Raimi said 'We're going to need you to gain about 100 pounds of muscle. You've come here today with the physique of a fishwife and that doesn't fit our scheme.'"
