Leto Worried Doctors With Sudden Weight Gain.... Actor Jared Leto piled on so much weight to play John Lennon's killer Mark David Chapman in a new film doctors were seriously worried about his cholesterol.

The Panic Room star guzzled two pints of microwaved H?en-Dazs ice-cream daily to play the chubby assassin in Chapter 27, and gained a speedy 65 pounds (29.5 kilograms) in the process.

As a result, Leto suffered from gout and his cholesterol levels shot up.

He says, "My cholesterol was so high they (doctors) wanted to put me on Lipitor (prescription cholesterol medication).

"I took a wheelchair to set every morning because I couldn't walk more than a few feet without excruciating pain."
