Actor Lee Jun Hyuk recently revealed the surprising reason behind his dramatic weight gain while filming The Outlaws 3!
On January 7, Lee Jun Hyuk and My Perfect Secretary actress Han Ji Min appeared on SBS's variety show Tteummanna-myeon. During the episode, Han Ji Min shared a funny regret about not being able to share many meals with Lee Jun Hyuk while filming their drama.
Lee Jun Hyuk joked, "Today we're eating," and added, "Even though I’m eating today, I might not gain weight, but I could get a stomachache. There’s no reason to be this nervous. Honestly, just looking at Yoo Jae Suk hyung makes me nervous." His nervousness on variety shows had everyone laughing.
Yoo Yeon Seok then commented, "(Lee Jun Hyuk) really likes to eat," with Han Ji Min revealing, "He says he can eat two or three pizzas." Lee Jun Hyuk also admitted, "That’s true. If I let my mouth loose, I could eat six bags of snacks at once. But I hold back now, because I know I’ll gain weight soon."
The actor shared a story about filming The Outlaws 3, saying, "Ma Dong Seok told me to gain 5kg, so I gained 5kg by the next day. Then he asked, 'Do you want to gain 5kg more?' That's how I ended up gaining 20kg!" Lee Jun Hyuk explained that when he weighed over 80kg, he felt stronger and less embarrassed. "I don't know why, but it seems like my hormones change," he added.
In another part of the show, Yoo Yeon Seok asked Lee Jun Hyuk how he became an actor. Lee Jun Hyuk revealed, "I didn't major in directing. I studied directing in college, but while shooting independent films, I realized I didn’t know how to guide the actors. So, I started learning acting by accident."
It’s clear that Lee Jun Hyuk’s journey to acting is just as surprising as his weight gain! Fans can’t wait to see what he does next.
