In the world of cinema, a new dynamic is taking place, perhaps more risky for its stars, and that is to transform their physiques to adapt them to the big screen. There are famous cases such as those of Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Christian Bale or Chris Hemsworth, but there are also others less known, at least for the moment, such as that of Jeremy Allen White.
The protagonist of The Bear is one of the faces that appear in The Iron Clawa film that tells the story of professional wrestler Kevin Von Erich (played by Zac Efron), his brothers, and the tragedies that followed them.
For his part, Jeremy plays one of his brothers, Kerry Von Erich. A role he has spoken about with ET on the red carpet of the premiere that was held recently, confessing that he has had to deal with a very difficult transformation process, since He has had to gain a total of 18 kilos of muscle mass.
A very expensive goal for which he has had to drastically change his diet and exercise routine. Regarding the food, the actor assures that I was eating a lot, a tremendous amount. Simply eat everything you can. And, regarding his training, he had to leave cardio aside: Just trying to lift weights, no cardio.
I was not comfortable with the fighter’s clothing
Furthermore, regarding his characterization, the American admits that he was not convinced from the beginning: I didn’t feel safe right away, but I think we all look very different with the costumes and the hair and I think finding that comfort in something that seemed so profound to us, I don’t know, was a real gift. Gain confidence, I guess, seven days running around in your underwear, you get used to it.
