JUDE Law packed on nearly 15 kilograms to star as an overweight ex-con in his new flick Dom Hemingway — and reckons he got a taste for overindulgence.
"It was tough to turn it off at the end," he admitted to Page Six.
"It was allowing myself to say 'yes' to everything — ice cream ... burgers ... all the wrong stuff."
But the normally trim 41-year-old said it was initially quite difficult to amp up the calories.
"I was banned from exercise and just encouraged to eat all the wrong stuff," Law dished to PEOPLE at the film's premiere in New York City on Thursday night.
"I ate a lot of red meat, a lot of steaks and burgers, and ice cream.
"I'm not a big gorger, so it was the Coca-Cola that got me. I was drinking five to 10 a day, and I just got kind of sick of it."
The British actor also confessed that his favourite indulgence was cookies 'n cream ice cream, "but I'll be happy if I never see another tub of it again in my life."

For director Richard Shepard, the British actor's physical transformation from dapper, clean-shaven gentleman to grisly, hard-living felon was crucial for the role.
"'I want you to gain weight, I want to see your receding hair line. In fact, I want you to flick your hair back so we can see it. I want your nose to be broken'," he recalled telling Law, according to The Wall Street Journal.
"We had long discussions on how yellow his teeth should be. We had long discussions on mutton chops and his facial hair. All of these things. All of this so Jude could lose himself and truly find Dom. At a certain point it all fell into place."
Although he appreciated Law's commitment to the role, Shepard told Page Six wanted to keep the star alive.
"He was drinking, like, 10 sodas a day, drinking non-alcoholic beer, which is disgusting, and he was pasty-faced [from] smoking. I was like, 'Just please don't have a heart attack until we are done filming'."
Law has since regained his trim frame, wearing no signs at the premiere of the dishevelled, vulgar crook he played in the Fox Searchlights movie.
