, in 20 weeks. The actor explains to viewers that he initially gained weight to play Venus and Serena Williams' father, Richard, in the upcoming film , which was filmed before COVID hit."I put on weight to thicken up. Then COVID-19 hit. COVID made the weight more than the role called for," he recalls as a sizzle reel of Will eating junk food plays.
He tells viewers that his decision to film his process is to have cameras serve as a pseudo accountability partner. "The funnier the person, the more the pain sometimes," she adds."Eventually the pressure becomes too much."If you are using ad-blocking software, please disable it and reload the page.Will echoes Dr. Durvasula's sentiments as he reads excerpts of his memoir to family and friends during his book camps set throughout the episodes.
"I have never seen him like this and he has never been in this bad of shape ever," Aaron tells viewers as he describes the regimen set up for Will's goals."Our goal is to lose around a pound a week with a new diet and exercise program. The basic framework is we will do two days of resistance training and take off, then go back on two days. Will is a big fan of doing cardio in the morning. We will do runs every morning. Then resistance training later in the day.
It is here that Will reveals how hard he works to keep the perception of who he is in place -- the actor confesses that when initially approached about doing the docuseries, Aaron wanted him to weigh in a week before the cameras eventually showed up, but he refused. He explains that he weighed 226 pounds then and spent a week before Jan. 1 fasting to shed five pounds before filming began.
"For Will, goals are everything. This came from a childhood of 'I have to work, succeed,' and now, 'lose this much weight,'" she adds."He has to win completely to stay safe and in control."
