Actor Kim Sun-ho revealed an episode of dieting for his character.

Kim Sun-ho met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 19th and said, `I lost 6-8 kilograms to act as director Choi"Dark circles and blemishes were purposely made into makeup"

The Disney+ original series 'tyrant' is a chase action thriller about the last sample of 'tyrant program's disappearance in a delivery accident, and then people who gather to occupy it for different purposes chase and chase each other. Since its release on the 14th, it has drawn attention by sparking an explosive reaction.



Kim Sun-ho, who plays the role of Choi, an elite agent of the state intelligence agency, played the architect who had been operating the ultra-secret genetic drug 'tyrant program'. He calls himself a coward, but Choi is a ruthless character and has a lot of action.

Recalling the last scene, Kim Sun-ho said "What I remember very clearly is that I shot a horror bullet from the podium at the last scene. If you shoot it outside, it sounds relaxed, but it sounds twice as good indoors. I was shooting a senior Kang Woo-sun, and she said, `Oh, I'm sorry,' even though she never wanted to close her eyes. I asked for one more chance. But they said there wasn't much coal. I tried to concentrate as much as I could. If you put on ear plugs, you may not hear the sound, but if you can't hear the other person and check my voice, it was hard to act," he recalled.



To describe it as an inner action rather than a physical action "I was so sorry. I only wore them while sitting, and the scene of going outside was short. When I go to cheer and see other gods, I know how they feel, and they said it must be really hard. But there is such a thing. When the results come out, not to mention the pride of the action. It was convenient then, but now that I think about it, it's a shame. The two things coexist."

I also went on a diet to act as Choi Jang-guk. Kim Sun-ho said, "I don't think it should be like the previous work 'Gwijongja'. I thought I shouldn't look comfortable, so I cut back on my diet and exercised a little. It says that you look tired or that you look haggard. As it was specified in the script, Director Choi thought that it was driven to the limit. To protect the project, I thought it would be painful when I thought about organizing my own people. I thought about it and started dieting. I think I lost 6~&kg at that time."



Then "It was not the director's request. I didn't say to go on a big diet. He thought it was up to the actor, so he asked me to meet him at the angle if you could express it. When you first saw me lose weight, you lost weight?They said '. Choi explained that he thought it was like that, and he said it was like that.

I also mentioned skin makeup. Kim Sun-ho "I did it in the first place. I sprayed dark circles and made blemishes. I took a mustache, too. I didn't put on much makeup at all."

All episodes of the Disney+ original series 'tyrant' were released on the 14th.
