Chinese actress Fan bingbing underwent a dramatic physical transformation for her upcoming role in the film “Mother Bhumi,” gaining 10 kilograms to portray a powerful exorcist.
The 43-year-old star revealed that the weight gain was a purposeful choice to embody the character, a woman who confronts evil forces. To achieve the desired look, Fan followed a specialized diet, increased her food intake, and even underwent tanning sessions.
“Humans are flawed by nature. Only dolls are perfect,” Fan stated, highlighting her commitment to the role’s authenticity.
Now that filming has wrapped, Fan has returned to a strict diet and exercise regimen to regain her previous physique. “Mother Bhumi,” a Malaysian-Italian co-production set in the 1990s, casts Fan as Hong Im, a widow and farmer living near the Malaysian-Thailand border.
