Here’s one of those ‘what’s the right answer’ situations. Your actor comes home and says she’s been offered a part, as long as she doesn’t mind dressing up in a fat suit.
You say:
A. No way, it’s stupid and demeaning!
B. Are you kidding, you’ll be the laughing stock of the acting community.
C. Sure honey, no one could possible look better in a fat suit than you, dear.
The correct answer, of course, is C, as evidenced by this story about Korean actress Kim Ah Jung who…
has found big-time fame by donning a fat suit to play an obese backstage singer who undergoes full-body plastic surgery to become slim.
Ah Jung, 25, was the only one who dared take up the challenge of the 90kg role which was reportedly rejected by other actresses.
Her jaw-dropping transformation – not unlike Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow in the film Shallow Hal – has won rave reviews in Korea and catapulted the movie to the No 1 spot on the local box-office chart.
