Khris Davis did not know who he was auditioning for when he first got the lines for an untitled project about a boxer. They didn’t even tell him it was based on a true story at first. But he liked that there was a character arc – it’s more than actors often get early in auditions.
“A lot of people see George as the grill guy,” said director George Tillman Jr. “Some people see him as the boxer. I wanted to tell a story of things that you don’t know.” He’d never had a challenge quite like George Foreman, but he was used to giving it all in the theater and he was going to do that here, too.
But he didn’t need to worry. When Davis came back, Tillman was shocked to see that he’d actually gained 50 pounds in five weeks, going from 225 pounds to a heavyweight 275. “I said, ‘There you are. There it is,’” Davis said. “Every calorie that I was eating was worth it because it was working and I could see it being built all around me. It was insane. It was intense. But I think that amount of effort was worth it.”
