The thespian has hit headlines throughout his career over his yo-yo dieting, once admitting that he had been encouraged to try to lose weight for health reasons.

There were further reports that he lost weight by following the Nooch diet, which is powered by deactivated yeast, and eating lots of spinach, other vegetables, and protein.

'I can afford to not live on rum and burritos and take better care of myself,' Garcia told the magazine. 'Besides, there were enough people who were waiting for my character to lose weight as a result of being stranded on a desert island.'
