Richie Jen eating hard to prepare for new movie

22 Apr - What is more difficult than to lose weight in Richie Jen's book? Trying to gain it.

According to Mingpao, the actor, who appeared at the Po Leung Kuk gala dinner recently, shared that he is currently trying to gain weight for his role in a movie that will begin filming in June.

"Since it is a movie about a [fat guy's transformation], I first have to increase my weight, and then reduce it. I have to eat six meals a day. I now find that eating is a very difficult thing to do," he said.

The actor shared that he has to add 30kg to his previous weight, and has only managed to gain 9kg for now.

"It has only been that much but it is already unbearable. But I will try to gain more," he said.

He jokingly added that since his shirts are mostly a tight fit, he has to buy new clothes since he started his new project. However, he shared no further details about the upcoming production.
