Happier times: After being rushed to hospital four days before shooting on the dystopian Netflix film was due to begin, George was ultimately diagnosed with pancreatitis. Seen here in 2015
Weight loss was not the only physical change the successful producer endured for the role.
'I grew a big ugly beard and my son loved it because he’d hide things in it which I wouldn’t know about until I got to work and I’d be like, ‘Oh, there’s a popsicle stuck in my beard,’ George revealed.
'But my wife and daughter were really happy when it came off because it was very hard to find a face underneath all that mess.'
George has been married to wife Amal since 2014. The couple share twins Ella and Alexander, three.

George praised child actress Caoilinn Springall who is featured in the film after saying they had budgeted for extra days to accommodate the first-time actress.
'Every single thing we did with her was one take. I went to the other actors, "See that? One take, I don't want to hear about your preparation'',' George joked.
The movie follows a lone scientist in the Arctic in the aftermath of a global catastrophe as he races to contact a crew of astronauts with a warning not to return to Earth.
The Midnight Sky is scheduled to be released on December 23 on Netflix.

Not a good idea, not even for the sake of Art...

I totally agree PAN.  Losing 25 lbs for a man who was already slim Is just not healthy.
