HOLLYWOOD - Welsh actor Anthony Hopkins is reportedly piling on the pounds to star in a biopic of late screen legend Marlon Brando.
The 68-year-old will play Brando in his later years. Apocalypse Now star Brando died in July 2004.
An insider tells British newspaper The Sun, "The movie tells the story of Brando's whole life and Anthony is already on a special diet to get up to the required weight for his role. But he's still a long way to go.
"Anthony will also wear prosthetic facial features and is watching Brando's films to get the right image inside his head and get the American accent right."
