Paulo Avelino shares struggles on gaining, losing weight for 'Linlang'

MANILA — Actor Paulo Avelino shared his struggles on gaining and losing weight for his role as Victor in "Linlang.""Hindi madali. Siyempre kasi at the start of the show, upon pitching it to me, nag-ready na kaagad ako to gain weight and part of that, of course, you lose other projects. You can't do other projects because you're big, you're heavy, ang dami talagang naapektuhan," Avelino said.

Avelino also narrated how he needed to double his efforts to lose weight in order to be in shape for his character's transformation. "Mayroon pa isang phase pa uli na nagpapayat ako sa latter part ng show so we could complete it. It was hard, mahirap, hindi madali pero iniisip ko lang lagi gusto ko lang ibigay 'yung dedication ko dito sa show na 'to and para maiba rin kasi I don't think it's been done in Philippine TV before," he added.
