“Gladiador”: Almodóvar revela que Pedro Pascal “está con dieta rigurosa y ejercicios brutales para conseguir el cuerpo”

So, I just read this article about Pedro Pascal, and it turns out the guy is making some serious sacrifices for his role in Almodóvar’s new film, Gladiador. Like, we’re talking a strict diet and grueling exercise regimen!

Apparently, Pascal is putting in the work to get his body in tip-top shape for the role, and I gotta say, I’m impressed. I mean, I struggle to stick to a healthy diet for longer than a week, let alone go through “brutal” workouts on a daily basis.

The article didn’t go into too much detail about the film or Pascal’s character, but it did say that he’s playing a gladiator in the movie (hence the title, I guess?). I’m a big fan of Pedro Pascal from his roles in Game of Thrones and The Mandalorian, so I’m excited to see him in a new project.

It’s not the first time an actor has transformed their body for a role, of course. Christian Bale is notorious for his extreme weight gains and losses, and Matthew McConaughey lost a ton of weight for his role in Dallas Buyers Club. But it’s still impressive to see just how committed some actors are to their craft.

All in all, I think it’s cool that Pascal is putting in the effort to really embody his character in Gladiador. I’m definitely looking forward to checking out the movie when it comes out.
