Personal Trainer

She had to put on weight for her role in the 2017 movie The Great Wall as she was considered too thin to pull off the deadly stunts on screen. She had to consume protein shakes and lots of meat like chicken breast, pork belly, steamboat, and steak while saying no to salt. The results were apparent as she went from being a mere 54 kg to putting on 10 kilos (and reached 64 kg).
