Did Michael Ironside gain a ton of weight in real life or is that a fat suit?


I barely recognized him, but Micheal Ironside as the Cowboy Investor is great in the series. But I have to know, is that a fat suit and makeup or did he really gain all that weight?

I had no idea that was him until you posted this question

Looks like makeup to me - no way he gained THAT much weight for such a small role. Plus, like Colin Farrell’s Penguin, he’s gotta be so unrecognizable because of all the makeup

wow

He beat cancer two or three times I think so the weight gain is real. He was in Nobody and hardly recognized him either.
