And the Oscar winning actor proved on trend as he was spotted looking slimmed down on the set of Ford Vs. Ferrari in Los Angeles on Friday.

Middle man: More recently, he played former Vice-President Dick Cheney for Backseat (due in theaters December) for which the actor gained 40 lbs
‘I had never before gone to a doctor or a nutritionist about gaining or losing weight for my roles,’ he told Star2.com.
‘But eventually that caught up with me. So, finally for Backseat, I decided that maybe somebody knows better than I do; so I went to somebody and they managed to get me up a good 40lbs.
‘It’s never healthy to put on that amount of weight in a short amount of time, but I did it in the healthiest manner,’ he explained.
