This time, the role of the titular “Quack Man” was cast, and he had to undergo a physical metamorphosis before filming began. The producers gave him a few months to work on his figure. So the actor went on a diet and joined the gym. As a result, he managed to lose 10 kilograms. Leszek Lichota, however, does not remember it very well.
“I lost ten kilograms during this time. I won’t say that it was the most pleasant task, because I hate going to the gym. But I already know my body well enough that I knew what diet to follow to make such a change possible in a relatively short time. time,” he admitted.
In addition, Leszek Lichota grew a beard, which made the work of makeup artists easier. Ewa Szwed’s team only had to thicken it and make it gray.
“The actor’s effort put into this transformation was enormous, cooperation with him was extremely successful,” said the make-up artist.
Let us also mention that the book’s “Quack Man” was more emaciated than planned by the creators of the new adaptation. However, it was felt that this would be too extreme a move. The actor himself believes that the current figure makes Antoni Kosiba more dignified.
“In our opinion, if my hero was so poor, he would lose his dignity and seriousness,” added Leszek Lichota.
