According to Female First, the Oscar winner had to gain 40 pounds to portray the overweight character.
Washington said: "Getting there was such fun. Milkshakes, hamburgers... middle of the night a little Haagen Dazs. Anything I wanted just eat, eat, eat."
The 54-year-old actor has since returned to his toned physique but has admitted that his wife enjoyed the extra pounds.
He added: "She was OK with it, I think every wife wants their husband to be plump and fatten them up. She doesn't eat, she cooks all this food for me, but she doesn't eat it."
