Mon Confiado gains attention once again for his drastic transformation for a movie role

He then enumerated the changes he has gone through for his character in the film, sharing how he was close to acquiring a disease from swimming in the mud.

He added: “BTS from the film “IISA” (As One) *Suntanned
*Lost weight
*Shaved hair in order to achieved the head injury (Thank you for the prosthetics you gave me maam Cecile Baun)
*went & shot in actual location in Compostela Valley, Mindanao. 1 hr walking on rocks. (where Typhoon Pablo had affected more than 223,000 people and death toll climbed to more than 200 in 2012.) *swam in the mud (which we discovered after the shoot that it was positive in Schistosomiasis. Had vaccine after.) *Schistosomiasis is a disease caused by parasitic flatworms. The urinary tract or the intestines may be infected.Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, or blood in the urine.Those who have been infected for a long time may experience liver damage, kidney failure, infertility, or bladder cancer.”

Acting is not about being famous. We as actors, have to not only memorize pages and pages of lines and say them, but we also have to dive deeper into emotions in order for those words we memorized to seem real and authentic, from changing our appearances, speeches, mannerisms, nuances to better adapt to a character. Professionalism, dedication and sacrifices are very much required. ?BTS from the film "IISA" (As One) *Suntanned *Lost weight *Shaved hair in order to achieved the head injury (Thank you for the prosthetics you gave me maam Cecile Baun) *went & shot in actual location in Compostela Valley, Mindanao. 1 hr walking on rocks.
