''CAPTAIN AMERICA"
LONDON (AP) — The actor who plays Falcon in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" was grateful when filming was over. Anthony Mackie says he pigged out on steak, potatoes and a mint julep when he was done, because he didn't have to watch his weight anymore. He says it was hard to eat healthy because he lives in New Orleans and he considers that the food capital of the world. Sebastian Stan, who plays Winter Soldier, had the opposite problem. He had to eat eight times a day to bulk up for his role. Stan says all his friends were hitting the bar at 10 p.m. on a Saturday night and he was getting ready for his seventh meal of the day.
