Hamish Blake's fat act excuse wears thin

HAMISH Blake has blamed his porked up frame on his latest movie role.
The funnyman was taunted over his return to Fox FM, with fans commenting on his chubbier face. But rather than sidelining the issue, Blake manned up to the taunts from co-host Andy Lee.
"Welcome to 2011, I'm fat. Let's deal with this," he said. " You know I love being athletic, I love being ripped and trim.
"I did it because I'm passionate about the arts and I'm passionate about doing a good job on this film (Two Little Boys)."
When Lee revealed the script said nothing about stacking on the kilos, Blake joked: " Not specifically, no. In Rain Man, Dustin Hoffman's character didn't even have autism."
But weight jibes aside, Blake promised to be a large-than-life wingman to newly-single Lee.
