Actor Dion Wiyoko said he has gained 10 kilograms in preparation for his upcoming role in the film, Ken Andrew The Movie.
In the movie about the journey of the founders of Kaskus, he will play Ken Dean Lawadinata. Dion said he had played in biopics before, but he was never required to make many physical changes.
'The process of gaining weight was very tiring; I had to take midnight snacks, such as instant noodles, fried chicken and milk, in order to gain weight fast,' he said at the film's press conference. 'That's unhealthy I know, but I had to.'
In addition to gaining weight, Dion also had to shave his head.
'The last time I was bald was in college, and didn't really like it. This role is pretty challenging,' he said.
