Society of the Snow has been one of the biggest surprises of 2024 since the film not only tells us the story of the plane crash in the Andes but also completely immerses us in the anguish, hopelessness, and loneliness that the passengers experienced. The film directed by J. A Bayona has made the story of the survivors of the terrible incident told once again, but this time from a much more sensitive perspective that invites us to discover how powerful the will to live can be.
That is why the production took care of even the smallest detail to ensure that the film portrayed as truly as possible, the conditions in which they had to survive for 72 days, the people who in the blink of an eye ended up stranded among the cold mountains of the Andes Mountains. The recording team managed to recreate in an almost identical way the site of the accident, the plane that became the refuge for the passengers and the locker room for the survivors, which was magnificently captured on the film.
However, what the production of Society of the Snow did not take into account was that the amazing commitment of the cast would lead the actors to undergo an impressive physical change to play the survivors.
This Was the Drastic Change of the Actors of Society of the Snow
The actors who played the survivors of the Andes accident in Society of the Snow went through a long and exhausting process that allowed them to reach a physical state similar to that of the passengers at the time of being rescued. That is why many decided to follow a strict diet to lose weight quickly. Enzo Vogrincic, who plays Numa Turcatti in the film, revealed in an interview that during the time the film was shot he only ate one tangerine and a can of tuna a day. The poor diet led Vogrincic to lose twenty-three kilos in just a few months.
For his part, the director of the film explained that two nutritionists worked to design a specific diet for each of the actors that would allow them to achieve the surprising physical change, although he reiterated that the boys were always under weekly monitoring to ensure their health. health. Another actor who shared his radical physical change for the film was Simon Hempe, who played José Luis “Coche” Inciarte.
Hempe shared some photos of the radial change through TikTok, through which you can compare how the actor looked when filming began and how he looked when filming ended. This impressive comparison has gone viral on social networks and shows us once again that the acting commitment of the cast of Society of the Snow was at another level.
