Dilireba clarifies about gaining 8kg while acting in Stephen Chow's movie

Recently, Dilireba shared more about gaining 8kg while filming "Kungfu Soccer" written and directed by Stephen Chow.

After its release, "Kungfu Soccer" directed by Stephen Chow created a box office fever when it reached over 1 billion yuan. Besides the appeal of the film, audiences are also particularly interested in the transformation of the female lead Dilireba.

However, instead of just discussing acting, social networks have raised a series of rumors surrounding the actress's appearance.

Many sources say that Dilireba has gained about 8kg to serve her role, reducing her body fat percentage to 14%, and even rumors have emerged that she has swollen ankles due to overtraining. It is worth mentioning that these figures are increasingly exaggerated, from 8kg to 14kg, causing no small number of fans to worry.

In an interview published by China Film Report on July 18, Dilireba directly spoke out to deny the false information. She said that to transform into the character Ngoc Lung, she herself entered the "athlete regime", spending most of her time on physical training and strengthening muscles.

The actress emphasized: "The important thing is not to gain weight but to gain muscle. To build muscle, the body still needs a certain amount of fat. Weight gain is not my goal." According to her, many people have misunderstood the training process, leading to unfounded rumors.

In fact, Dilireba once spoke out about this issue during a meeting with the film crew in Tianjin on July 11. She humorously shared that the day before she heard news that she had gained 4kg, the next day she gained 8kg and joked: "Maybe in a few days she will gain 14kg.

Regarding the rumor of swollen ankles, the actress frankly denied: "If my ankles are swollen, how can I continue filming?" Regarding the information that body fat percentage is only 14%, she said that she has never measured this index, so she cannot confirm the number that is spreading online.

Dilraba Dilmurat also praised director Stephen Chow and the production crew, affirming that everyone always cares and creates the best conditions for actors to complete their roles.

The actress's sincere sharing received agreement from the audience. Right at the event, director Stephen Chow also praised her efforts.

He said that Dilraba Dilmurat worked very hard throughout the filming process, and humorously commented that what made him most "heartbroken" was that the actress got tanned after many days of outdoor filming.

Responding to the director's praise, Dilraba Dilmurat confidently smiled: "Beauty is still beautiful even when tanned." The charming response of the two quickly received many rounds of applause from the audience.

Through official shares, it can be seen that Dilireba did not gain weight as rumored online, but only underwent a serious training process to gain muscle and improve fitness to meet the requirements of the role.

Once again, the actress affirmed her professional spirit, and at the same time showed that the information spreading on social networks is sometimes overexaggerated compared to reality.
