Actor Dennis Quaid binged on junk food in a desperate bid to gain weight for his role playing former US president Bill Clinton.

The star portrays the ex-leader in upcoming movie The Special Relationship, opposite Michael Sheen as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and he had to gain two-and-a-half stone (16kg) for the part.

And Quaid admits he gorged himself "like a baby on a feeding schedule" in order to bulk up.

He says, "I could have worn a suit to enhance my weight but I didn't want to go that route. I did it the way he (Clinton) did. I went to McDonald's every day."
