Peng Yuyan’s appearance should be the fantasy of many women. To paraphrase the most popular saying on the Internet: many women are greedy for his body. .

When he appears on the screen, he has standard 8-pack abs, long legs with an aura of 1.8 meters, and a perfect figure. He is simply the highest standard for a male god in the hearts of fans.

What makes many women salivate is his handsome face. He is simply the perfect boyfriend image in many women's minds.

But this is him after losing weight. Now the star-studded Peng Yuyan has another side that you can't imagine.

When he graduated from elementary school, Peng Yuyan was only 1.5 meters tall and weighed 140 kilograms. He was a veritable short and fat man.

When I entered middle school, I gained some height and my weight kept rising. The two were directly proportional.

After high school, Peng Yuyan fell in love with playing basketball. But because he is too fat, almost over 180 pounds.

He himself once said that he often tore his pants while playing basketball. At that time, he began to realize the way people around him looked at him, realized that obesity was a bad thing, and began to care about his own health.

Later, he waited for a good opportunity. Together with Ethan Ruan, he participated in the movie "Exit 6", but this movie, which had high hopes, tanked at the box office.

Ethan Ethan and Mark Chao filmed the movie "Monga" again, which unexpectedly achieved high box office. Ethan Ethan even won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with this role.

During that time, due to a contract dispute with the brokerage company, he had no work to do, his entire career came to a standstill, and he owed a debt of NT$50 million.

During the low period of his career, Peng Yuyan also had doubts about himself. The host asked him, how did you get through that period?

Peng Yuyan replied: "I have thought a lot, why can others make such good movies and have so many commercials? But I have nothing. In fact, it is because I am not good enough. "

< p> ?During his trough period, the friend who treated him consistently and extended an olive branch was Shawn Yue.

His career, starting from the movie "Roll, Ashin", finally ushered in new opportunities and turning points.

Regarding the origin of this movie, it was reported on the Internet: At that time, Taiwanese new director Lin Yuxian, who was frustrated at the time, was preparing to shoot the movie "Tumbling Ashin". The male protagonist Ashin is a gymnast and needs to After receiving 10 hours of physical training every day for 8 months, no popular Taiwanese actors accepted it. The director even gave up and directly recruited gymnasts to participate. As a result, Peng Yuyan, who was at a low point in his career, saw the script and found that his experience was very similar to that of the male protagonist. It seemed that he only had one chance, so he insisted on filming.

In order to make this movie, Peng Yuyan suffered a lot. At the same time, he also knew that this movie was his turnaround. If the film is done well, there will be a turn for the better in the future. If the film is not filmed well, maybe the acting career will end.

He didn’t understand gymnastics at all, but he was willing to spend 8 months practicing gymnastics. His hands had thick calluses, his blisters burst, and his body was injured and painful. He didn’t care at all, because This time, he can only win, not lose!

Huang Tian paid off his hard work, and finally with this movie, Peng Yuyan was shortlisted for the 48th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, joining the ranks of Taiwan's first-line actors and opening up his own film career.

When the filming of the movie "Fierce Fight" started, he trained like crazy for three months. From knowing nothing about it, he learned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai and other skills. Every time, he risked his life.

It is reported that Peng Yuyan had such an episode before filming the fierce battle. Director Lin Chaoxian has been looking for the second male lead in this film, but has never found a suitable actor.

Until I accidentally saw "Roll!" "Axin" movie, seeing that Peng Yuyan was willing to spend a year to devote and train for the role, Lin Chaoxian asked: "Are there such crazy actors now? I must meet him."

< p> After seeing it, I immediately decided to let Peng Yuyan join the movie and play the second male lead.

Later, Peng Yuyan almost became director Lin Chaoxian's favorite actor. Starting from "Guild Fight", to "Breaking Wind", and then to "Operation Mekong", Peng Yuyan made Lin Chaoxian more satisfied again and again.

This year, his box office alone reached 2.5 billion.

In 2017, he released two movies, namely "The Legend of Wukong" and "Riding the Wind and Waves", with a total box office of 1.5 billion.

Peng Yuyan once said: I am not handsome and have no talent, so I work harder than more people.

And what he wanted to do was always just be a simple actor. Every time I appear in front of everyone, it is because of new works, not because of scandals.

What he requires of himself is to act well and play every role as if it is the last one.

Such a good and high-quality idol is really worth liking!
