Santiago Segura: 46 kilos more in each 'Torrente'
After winning the Goya for the short film Disturbed and starring in Álex de la Iglesia's The Day of the Beast, Santiago Segura achieved fame with the plump character of Torrente in the blockbuster saga in which he stars and directs. Every time one of the installments ended, the actor lost weight again and became a totally different person, with 46 kilos less. "He was obsessed because Loras come out everywhere," he told Europa Press in an interview. The filmmaker often recalls his early physique on Instagram:
Santiago Segura assures that he is better than ever and acknowledges that he does not want to make a sixth Torrente film. In fact, in the last one, Torrente 5, he only gained 15 kilos "because I was too lazy to lose them later."
What is his method to lose weight? “Suffering is a very hard world of suffering, it is about eating fewer calories than you consume, taking care of what types of calories they are, exercising, a series of things that you say, my goodness! It's a matter of health, I had chondropathies, chondromalacia, and destroyed cartilage... the whole body suffers and people don't know to what extent obesity is a disease".
"If you are slightly overweight, there are people who are concerned about aesthetics, but you should be concerned about other things, the cause of heart attack, diabetes, and 13 different types of cancer are related to obesity, it is disturbing to give that information and people does not know."
He hates the sport “to death”, but he forces himself to do it. "Before I played tennis, I messed up my meniscus and I can't anymore, but hey, at home I exercise, do push-ups, a little to speed up the metabolism." He has also done "mesotherapy, all kinds of refreshing creams, at the end in a swimsuit I still have a deficient body, but hey", he jokes.

A trick she learned from her niece. "He told me this little secret, I guess it's a biological thing, that at some point when you're eating, you have an involuntary sigh and that's really your brain and your stomach communicating that you've had enough," he said.

Throughout her career, we've seen Drew Barrymore grow up, gain weight, and lose weight. One of the recent turning points in her life was the series Santa Clarita Diet (Netflix) and her character Sheila.
"There came a time in my life where I had been abandoned by personal circumstances, and I thought, 'I could come alive with Sheila,'" she told Today. Drew followed nutritionist Kimberly Snyder's methods, but added: "proteins like fish and chicken since she's a vegetarian or vegan." It was not easy! "I'm still dreaming and crying about the pizza," she admitted.
