Matthew McConaughey has dropped a reported 50 pounds to play an AIDS patient in his latest film, The Dallas Buyer’s Club.

Some say the 43-year-old method actor was a little too committed to the role.

“He moved to Haiti, where he attempted to contract HIV from a Capuchin monkey,” director Stewart Dallion told OMGG.com. “He said he preferred that to eating fewer calories.”

Sadly, McConaughey was unable to contract the disease.

“In the end, I resorted to losing weight the tried-and-true Hollywood way,” the Magic Mike star said. “By sticking my finger down my throat and binging on meth.”
