The movie follows the aftermath of the 1820 maritime disaster, upon which Moby Dick is based, where a whale attacked a vessel.
Chris stars as Owen, the ship’s first mate and he previously spoke to Nightline about the role, saying that he would think twice before signing up for such a gruelling role again.
“Throughout the shoot, each week or two we’d reduce the calories, down, down until, we were at about 500 or 600 calories a day for the last couple week”.
I can’t say that I want to do it again, I read things now and if it has any mention of being skinny, I’m like that’s a pass”.
