Tom Holland lost a lot of weight to cherry and had to win everything back. In addition, Holland’s co-star, Ciara Bravo, had to do the same. The Russo Brothers finally unveiled the first footage of the highly anticipated film earlier this week, causing what fans can expect. Even before the first footage was released, rumors of an Oscar nomination for the Netherlands spread through the entertainment industry.
In a new interview, the Russian Brothers spoke about cherry and the process they went through to make the film. The management duo wanted to make sure that the changes in tone of the film were evident, so they used different filters and shooting techniques to make this apparent. However, the actors also had a great physical role to play in conveying the story. Joe Russo says, “Holland really destroyed himself for the role. He lost 13 pounds, he recovered them. We are on an independent film schedule here – he really didn’t have much time to do these things.”
30 pounds is a lot of weight, especially for Tom Holland, who also plays Peter Parker in the current Spider man franchise for Sony and Marvel Studios. The actor is currently filming Spider-Man 3 in Atlanta. Holland’s co-star, Ciara Bravo, also underwent a physical transformation to cherry, which Joe Russo detailed. You can read what Russo said about the physical element of the film below.
“They’ve torn apart physically and emotionally for that. I just want to mention that Tom lost almost a quarter of his body weight. I know Ciara lost a lot of weight, and you know what it’s like when you do it for a while, and you’re living with it every day. You’re starving and you’re having to work and deal with these emotionally charged scenes. Those two really fell apart. Congratulations to you, possible authenticity of them. It is one of the most impressive performance works we have ever participated in. And it had a real physical cost for both of them. “
