Alexandra Bortich told how she gained 20 kg for her role in the film “I’m Losing Weight”

How did Alexandra Bortich gain weight for her role in the film?

In an interview, Alexandra admitted that she was able to gain weight and then lose weight in a matter of months thanks to financial motivation. According to the contract, if she had not done this, Bortich would have faced a huge fine, and the filming would have been disrupted. As a result, she had no choice but to quickly gain weight a month and a half before filming, and then lose weight. Money is the strongest whip.

There are different ways to gain weight, but it is almost impossible to quickly gain weight in a healthy way, just like losing weight. Therefore, Bortich gained weight not in the healthiest way: she began to eat a lot of fast food.

Sasha gained weight by eating high-calorie foods - pizza, burgers and other fast food. In order for the arrow on the scale to creep up and not down, she had to eat constantly. In the first week it even seemed funny, but then it turned into a real nightmare. The food was quickly absorbed, and Bortich had to eat again immediately. Food, food, everything revolved around food. At some point, Sasha began to feel sick even from the smell of food.

With weight gain came health problems. Bortich herself says that this happened about halfway to the target weight. Everyday cheerfulness disappeared, it became harder to move, and when climbing several floors, shortness of breath appeared. The actress was helped not to become discouraged by all this by her beloved man and her parents, who supported her in everything. Thanks to this, Alexandra Bortich managed to gain weight by 76 kg and turn from a slender girl into a natural plump one.

How does Alexandra Bortich stay in shape now?

Sasha is not one of those who got a beautiful figure the easy way. Considering that the actress has always had a tendency to be overweight, she has to constantly monitor her weight.

Although the girl managed to lose all the weight she had gained, she continues to work on herself. The actress says that she is waiting for the day when she is happy with her reflection in the mirror. And she openly admits that she has never been happy with her own weight before.

Sasha Bortich continues to eat healthy, trying not to allow herself anything “extra.” And keeps in shape by exercising regularly. Of course, in moderation - 3-4 times a week.

Fortunately, the girl managed to avoid health problems due to such large-scale weight changes. But the comedy “I’m Losing Weight” became a real test for Sasha. After the film was released, and the actress saw her own transformation on the screen, she even burst into tears. And in a fit of emotion, she admitted how proud she was of her role.

Of course, many actresses have to sacrifice their figure for the sake of the role, but few managed to get into shape so quickly. Therefore, the story of 23-year-old Alexandra Bortich and her photos before and after losing weight became motivation for many women. And an example of the fact that losing such an amount of weight in a short time is a feasible task.

According to the actress, she always gained weight quickly. As a teenager, she loved to eat, and all the goodies were put on her sides. First of all, she had to reduce her daily portions significantly and overpower herself by going in for sports. Filming in the film “I’m Losing Weight,” where Sasha played first a fat girl and then a thinner girl, took place in two stages. First, the actress had to gain weight, and then suddenly lose weight. Partners on the set admire the young actress’s resilience. She refused delicious food, dined separately from the actors, and devoted all her free time to training.

How did Alexandra Bortich lose weight:

• Fractional meals - the daily norm should be divided into small portions. You should not overeat or eat 3 hours before bedtime.
• Follow a daily routine - eat at the same time. There must be snacks (afternoon snack, lunch). The break between meals is no more than 2-3 hours.
• Do not forget about the drinking regime - you need to drink 2-3 liters of still water per day. It speeds up metabolism and effectively cleanses the body.
• The diet should be low-calorie - up to 1400 kcal. The menu is based on vegetables, fruits, whole grain cereals, lean meat and fish, dairy and fermented milk products. Sometimes nuts and legumes.
• It is necessary to exclude fast food, fried and fatty foods, sausages, smoked meats, and canned food from the menu. As well as pickles, soda, alcohol, baked goods and confectionery.
• Steam, boil or stew food. Crispy baked or fried foods are prohibited.

Motivation for losing weight

The scriptwriters of the film “I’m Losing Weight” presented Alexandra with a serious challenge. In record time, she gained weight to 85 kilograms. It only took her 1.5 months to do this. Sasha says that after she recovered, her close friends even stopped recognizing her. In the film, her heroine Anna is overweight, her athlete boyfriend leaves her, there is nothing good in life - and she makes the fateful decision to lose weight.

The scriptwriters gave the girl only a month to lose weight! It was much more difficult than gaining extra pounds. Sasha says there are no magic pills or simple diets. If a woman has gained weight, the only way to get a stable and good result is proper nutrition and intense training.

In an interview with Grazia on the eve of the film’s release, Alexandra told how she prepared for filming: “I ate pizza and sweets. First of all, my stomach gets fuller, then my thighs, then my arms. According to the contract, the weight was prescribed and when I reached 67 kg, they began to panic. They shouted: “Why aren’t you fat? What's happening?". I had to try a little harder.”

Alexandra Bortich claims that you need to learn to accept yourself in any weight category. She had the support of her boyfriend and family. A few secrets from Alexandra:

• Positive motivation. If a person gains weight, it should not become a personal tragedy. Everything can be fixed, the main thing is to accept and love yourself for who you are.
• If possible, switch to a healthy diet gradually, reducing portions day by day and monitoring your daily routine.
• Don't forget about sports. Loads should not be exhausting and monotonous. It’s worth trying your hand at different sports and finding the best option.
• Try not to overeat. If yesterday you ate too much junk food, you need to do a fasting day and minimize the caloric content of your diet for the next week.

Many people, having seen the film “I’m Losing Weight,” believed that the actress’s extra folds and chubby cheeks were good makeup and costumes. About how the filming of the film actually took place and how long Sasha had to gain and lose weight - information in this video:

Acting career of Alexandra Bortich

At that time, Alexandra Bortich attended many castings in the hope of snatching at least some role. Fate brought her to audition for the TV series “Girls.” Alas, the girl was not invited, but she was still noticed. It was there that director Nigina Sayfullaeva first saw Sasha, who subsequently invited her to the drama “What’s My Name.” Sasha was given the main role along with Marina Vasilyeva and Konstantin Lavronenko.

In the drama “What’s My Name” Alexandra Bortich got a very bold role

The film turned out to be complex and ambiguous. Everyone found something special in him. When asked by journalists what this film is about, Sasha answered: “...about a very real life, and also about the pain and attempts of people to hide their real selves and their feelings behind the images they wear.”

The film was released in 2014 and was highly praised by many critics. In addition, the film received several film awards and awards, among which was a special diploma from the Kinotavr jury.

Bortich loudly announced herself in the first film, and therefore after the premiere all kinds of offers simply rained down on her. In 2015, the name of the young actress appeared in the credits of several interesting projects.

The girl successfully played in the film “Duhless-2”, where she was assigned one of the main roles. In the continuation of the drama with Danila Kozlovsky in the title role, the girl was given the tragic role of Alena Smirnova. After this, GQ ranked her among the top actresses of 2015. The girl was also highly praised by film critics - she was included in the list of 35 actors declared a breakthrough of the past year.

GQ magazine recognized the acting talent of Alexandra Bortich

Sasha also made her mark in the film “About Love” directed by Anna Melikyan, and also brilliantly coped with the role of the protagonist’s sister in the television series “Shot,” a wonderful story about the life and desire for victory of biathletes. Sasha was able to convey the image and character of a provincial girl who was trying to find her happiness and was ready to overcome any difficulties.

Sasha is often called “the hope of Russian cinema”

Of considerable importance for the development of Bortich’s career was her participation in the film “The Elusives,” an exciting crime thriller with melodramatic elements, in which Alexandra was assigned one of the key roles. According to the plot, her heroine was supposed to track down a drug trafficking ship, but the whole plan was confused by an anonymous terrorist.

2015 was a truly fruitful and successful year for the young actress. Once, journalists asked Bortich if she was afraid that this white stripe would be followed by a black one. Sasha gave a very deep and meaningful answer: “Nothing ever works out perfectly: there are always some minor troubles. But I had enough difficulties and dark streaks in my life; Maybe now everything is as it should be?

Sasha Bortich is optimistic about the future

However, 2021 brought no less vivid impressions to Sasha. So, the girl starred in the TV series “Policeman from Rublyovka.” This is a story about policeman Grisha Izmailov (played by Alexander Petrov), who maintains order in a fashionable district of Moscow.

In addition, the girl was busy filming the 8-episode comedy project “Marry Pushkin” directed by Valery Uskov. The audience was shown a love story between a sensitive provincial Pushkin philologist and a glamorous metropolitan girl.

In 2021, Alexandra Bortich was busy filming the comedy series “Quartet,” which also featured Maxim Vitorgan’s daughter Polina and aspiring actress Tinatin Dalakishvili. The plot of the series revolved around a young cellist from the capital who fled to the provinces.

In 2016, Alexandra Bortich starred in the series “Quartet”

And a presentation of the historical and feature film “Viking” was planned for December 2021. Alexandra Bortich in this project was assigned the role of Rogneda, the wife of Vladimir Svyatoslavich, who was played by Danila Kozlovsky, already well known to her from Spiritless 2.

The girl was also approved for the main role in the domestic science-fiction thriller “Conductor”. Evgeny Tsyganov and Alexander Robak will star in the film together with Sasha. It is known that the heroine Bortich will have psychic abilities.

In April 2021, the premiere of the comedy series “Philology Faculty” took place - about three students of the “most female” faculty. One of them, Misha played by Denis Paramonov, falls madly in love with Lena, Bortich’s heroine. Despite the very explicit poster, there were no intimate scenes in the series.

Advertising for Philology does not reflect the essence of the series, Sasha is sure

By the way, acting in Bortich’s comedy “Philfak” was more difficult than in the dramas she is more accustomed to: “I am a drama queen, I like to suffer on camera. Laughing is harder than crying."

Yulia Snigir (+13 kg)

In order to merge as much as possible with the image of Catherine II, the actress was forced to put on a lot of weight.

For a serious role in the TV series “The Great,” where Snigir played Empress Catherine II, Julia did a lot of work: she studied the archives of the 18th century, and, most importantly, gained weight in just a few months. Looking through historical materials, the girl learned that in childhood and adolescence Catherine II was thin and fragile, but during her reign she gained a lot of weight.

And Julia decided that to be more similar, she also needed to gain weight

Looking through historical materials, the girl learned that in childhood and adolescence, Catherine II was thin and fragile, but during her reign she gained a lot of weight. And Julia decided that to be more similar, she also needed to gain weight.

To do this, Snigir ate everything that came to hand. At night she ate sugar donuts, which, by the way, she really liked. The diet included flour products, harmful sodas and high-calorie dishes. Well, just every woman’s dream!

Got back in shape in just a month

For the sake of the role I gained weight... And for the sake of the role I had to lose weight. The film “I’m Losing Weight” was divided into 2 parts - first the heroine appears plump to the audience, and then she transforms and loses weight. In order to complete filming, Sasha had to urgently take care of her figure.

The break between filming lasted 4 weeks. It was during this time that the girl needed to return to her previous weight. Moreover, they not only gave her less time to lose weight, but also included a fine in the contract in case Alexandra couldn’t cope.

The girl says that there is no magic in her transformation. The whole secret to losing weight was proper nutrition, plenty of exercise, massage and beauty treatments. But first things first.

The actress did not follow any diet. She switched to healthy foods and completely eliminated all harmful and high-calorie foods from her diet - processed foods, fast food, sweets, fried and fatty foods, smoked foods, soda. And also adhered to the following rules:

• ate fractionally - in small portions 5-6 times a day (approximately every 3 hours);
• cooked food correctly - no frying in oil, but only baking, stewing, boiling and steaming;
• had dinner no later than 3 hours before bedtime;
• I drank my quota of water throughout the day.

Despite the fact that Alexandra did a lot of sports, the calorie content of her diet did not exceed 1400 kcal. In one interview, Sasha shared what her daily meals looked like:

• breakfast – 100 g of oatmeal, boiled in water;
• snack – ½ part grapefruit;
• lunch – 100 g of lean meat, a large portion of vegetable salad;
• snack – green apple;
• dinner - 150 g vegetable stew without potatoes.

Yes, and weight loss was not possible without numerous grueling workouts. The girl worked out in the gym as many as 6 times a week! And according to her, she worked so hard that even the coach was surprised at such willpower. The girl also underwent rather painful body massages so that after sudden weight loss she would not develop stretch marks and sagging skin.

Only thanks to perseverance and endurance, Alexandra Bortich achieved her goal and lost 20 kg in just a month.

Why did Alexandra Bortich gain weight, and who is she anyway?

Alexandra Bortich, if you didn’t know, is one of the most attractive young Russian actresses. Nika from “Policeman from Rublyovka”, Alena from “Dukhless 2” and Rogneda from “Viking” - all these are Bortich’s roles.

Nika from “Policeman from Rublyovka”

In 2021, right on March 8, a new film with her participation was released - a light but not stupid comedy “I’m Losing Weight.” The plot of the film is based on a drama familiar to many: the girl Anya loves to eat delicious food and does not like training, but at the same time she is in love with the handsome athlete Zhenya, a fitness freak, who eventually abandons her because of her figure and laziness and goes to a fitness girl. Anya worries for a long time, but in the end she decides to prove to her ex that she is also capable of much, and begins to fight excess weight. An old friend helps her in this adventure, and also a new friend who is also trying to lose weight and is simply radiating rays of motivation.

The picture turned out to be vital both because of the excellent acting, and thanks to the experience of director Alexei Nazhny, who at one time also had problems with excess weight and lost 28 kg, and then decided to make a film about it.

How to lose weight is more or less clear. Eat healthy and give your body positive exercise. But how to gain weight for the role of a “big boned girl” is a higher level.

↑ Sasha Bortich gained 20 kilograms in the film “I’m Losing Weight”

At the beginning of 2021, the cute comedy “I’m Losing Weight” was released. Bortich played the main role. She is a girl named Anna, who works as a pastry chef and is dating an athlete guy with a perfect figure. The girl let herself down a bit and gained weight. This is where the plot begins. The guy leaves her, and in order to return the relationship, the heroine begins to lose weight. For filming this film, the actress really had to gain weight and then lose weight.

The character played by Bortich is controversial. But she strives to find the truth and learns to respect herself. Her life changes dramatically, she has a new worldview, and there are new people around her. In the film “I'm Losing Weight,” the actress found herself on the same set with such wonderful actors as Roman Kurtsyn, Sergei Shnurov, Evgeny Kulik and Irina Gorbacheva. The film came out cheerful, light, but at the same time vital.

How Alexandra Bortich lost weight after the film

Fans of the actress were shocked by her quick and dramatic transformation and, of course, wondered how she managed to achieve such an impressive result in losing weight. But there is no special mystery or magic in this. Alexandra has repeatedly said in an interview that all the “secrets” of her rapid weight loss are diet and regular sports training. While actively losing weight, the actress spent several hours in the gym every day and even during filming found time for sports activities. The workouts included running, fitness and cardio exercises.

As for nutrition, Alexandra chose the most balanced diet for herself, realizing that the recently fashionable mono-diets and other exotic ways of eating do more harm than good. The actress does not disclose all the details of her diet while losing weight, but she willingly shares the basic rules of her diet with fans. And here's what she advises:

1. Drink a lot - keeping your body hydrated helps you lose weight faster and with less stress on the body. The required amount of liquid is calculated using the formula: 30 ml per 1 kg of weight. In hot weather or during physical activity, the water intake must be increased.
2. Divide the entire daily diet into several parts. It is better to eat more often, but in smaller portions. It is also undesirable to overeat and eat heavily shortly before going to bed. Ideally, the daily menu should consist of 3 large meals and light snacks of fruit or low-fat dairy products in between.
3. Give preference to low-calorie foods. Alexandra’s diet was based on fruits, vegetables, light fish and meat, dairy and fermented milk products. I had to forget about sweets and fast food, which the actress actively ate when she was gaining weight.

Doctors do not recommend repeating Alexandra’s feats of such rapid weight loss - such stress negatively affects the health and condition of the body, and there is also a high probability of breaking down and giving up everything. Change your diet and increase the intensity of your sports activities gradually, and parting with extra pounds will be easy and painless.

Vera Sotnikova (+10 kg)

For the coveted role, Vera sacrificed her hair color and her former figure

The series “Lyudmila” brought Vera Sotnikova not only recognition, but also extra pounds. For the role in which she dreamed of trying herself, she had to lose her previous appearance and gain more than ten kilograms.

Naturally, Vera did not make such serious changes of her own free will. She was pushed to do this by the director and producer, who wanted to achieve maximum naturalness and organicity from the actress in the frame.

Almost without hesitation, the actress agreed to this experiment and began her journey of weight gain. Previously, the actress always looked after her figure and appearance, denying herself high-calorie pleasures. But this time she gave herself free rein and gained 10 kilograms in just two months. In addition, she dyed her recognizable red hair color black. Vera decided that this was necessary for greater credibility.

Sotnikova admitted that adding extra pounds was not difficult for her. She, like the previous girls, leaned on flour and sweets. After filming was completed, the actress began to return to her previous form. The gym and yoga classes helped her with this.

Personal life of Alexandra Bortich

Alexandra Bortich lives in Moscow. She dated for a long time with actor Ilya Malanin, whom she met on the set of the film “The Elusive”.

In the summer of 2021, headlines spread across the network: “Alexandra Bortich is getting married!” And indeed, the actress posted a photo on Instagram with an engagement ring and the hashtag #justmarried. However, the girl soon apologized to her subscribers, explaining that the wedding was part of the filming of the second season of “Policeman from Rublyovka.”

The wedding of Bortich and Malanin turned out to be just a joke

In January 2021, it became known that Alexandra Bortich broke up with Ilya Malanin after three years of relationship. Many believed that the breakup was caused by filming in “Viking” - in one of the scenes a girl is raped. But this seems unlikely, because she has already traveled naked around Moscow as part of the advertising campaign for the film “The Elusive” and starred in the very provocative film “Spiritless”. One way or another, the girl confirmed the fact of the breakup, but did not intend to share the ups and downs of her personal life with anyone.

In 2021 Bortich and Malanin broke up

In the spring of 2021, the girl made a confession: her new lover turned out to be rapper Mezza, in the world Vyacheslav Vorontsov.

Alexandra has an English bulldog, Jagger, whom the actress often calls “the love of her life.”

Sasha Bortich's dog's name is Jagger

The girl is critical of alcohol and tries to watch her figure. As the actress herself noted, she has a tendency to be overweight: it’s hard to believe that this thin beauty used to weigh 70 kilograms. Sasha regularly goes to the gym, dances, and also studies English.

In addition, the girl dreams of horse riding. Bortich already had some experience in this area. In one of the episodes of the film “The Elusive”, Sasha rode a white horse completely naked.

Christian Bale lost weight with one apple a day and gained weight by eating fast food

Christian Bale experimented a lot with his weight. The actor lost the most weight for the film “The Machinist” (2004): he weighed 55 kg. In the BBC, the actor said that he himself was not against trying such extreme weight loss. The actor lost weight by eating an apple and a can of tuna a day, and also ran as long as he had the strength. And I took vitamins so that there would be no deficiency.

Still from the movie "The Machinist"

Bale said that losing weight greatly affected his well-being: “Eating changes my mood, but with such thinness it is stable. Of course, I wasn’t very fun, but I radiated calm.”

He then gained almost 45 kg in five months for the film “Batman Begins” (2005). It wasn’t easy: “At the first training session, the coach, a former boxing champion, asked me to do push-ups. I sank to the floor and remained lying there. The director was in England at that time, I was in Los Angeles. He called and said: “Get as big and strong as possible.” Keep in mind that just to raise your arms in the Batman costume, you have to be very strong. I lifted weights more times a day than I ever dreamed of. When I arrived in England, they told me that I was even too fat and pumped up to be Batman.”

Still from the movie “American Hustle”

For American Hustle (2013), Bale gained another 19 kilograms and changed enough that Robert De Niro did not recognize him on the set. He gained weight in his favorite way - by eating fast food.

Alexandra Bortich: on the red carpet

The premiere of the film “I’m Losing Weight” took place in Moscow. And Alexandra Bortich walked along the red carpet, showing everyone present her ideal figure, as proof that she was able to regain her weight. Some noticed that the actress is even thinner than she was before filming.

In the film, the main character Anya has two great loves in her life. This is food and the handsome athlete Zhenya, the girl’s fiancé.

Then Zhenya leaves his fiancée because of her excess weight. The main character decides not to give up and lose weight.

For the comedy director, excess weight was once a sore subject. Alexey Nuzhny also lost weight and lost 28 kilograms.

Weight loss of Alexandra Bortich

According to the contract, before starting work in the film, Alexandra Bortich had to gain weight and then lose it during filming. The filmmakers wanted everything to look as believable as possible. The actress made Herculean efforts to first gain weight and then lose 20 kg in just over a month.

From a young age, Alexandra was prone to being overweight: as a teenager, with a height of 168, she weighed 75 kg. The weight stabilized by the age of 16, but only thanks to self-discipline and the support of my mother. According to the actress, as soon as she starts eating whatever she wants, she instantly gains weight. Therefore, it took the girl a little more than a month to find the dimensions necessary for the role.

But losing those extra pounds turned out to be much more difficult: the body resisted with all its might. “My mother, having learned about this role, joked with me that I would no longer be able to lose weight and would remain fat. This would have happened if my contract did not provide for a fine! I had a month and a half to reset.” Strict contract conditions and strict nutrition rules did their job.

Slender beauty

Alexandra Bortich is a popular actress on the Russian stage. The girl became famous thanks to her participation in the modern TV series “Philfak”, “Jackal”, “Policeman from Rublyovka” and the films “Viking”, “Spiritless 2”.

The young star is familiar to numerous audiences as a slender, fit and sexy girl. But what a surprise it was when fans saw her in the new film “I’m Losing Weight” 3-4 sizes larger!

Many did not believe such an unpleasant transformation. And they said it was photoshop or video editing. However, it turned out that this was not a hoax. The star, indeed, gained 20 kg of excess weight in 1.5 months. And all for the main role in a movie.

How did Alexandra Bortich lose weight during the film?

Alexandra Bortich also spoke about what it was like for her to lose weight. Rapid weight loss is no less harmful to health than rapid weight gain. At the same time, various difficulties arose every now and then. Remember the scene at the beginning of the film, where after dancing at a wedding the heroine pounces on Olivier salad, and her lover tries to say that he is leaving? The scene was filmed in several takes, and during this time Sasha had to eat a huge amount of salad, and it’s hard to do this in a state where you’re really sick from eating. But... art requires sacrifice, and Alexandra Bortich would not be a professional actress if she could not overcome this.

To lose weight, Sasha was given a 28-day break from filming. During this almost month, she had to lose at least 15 kg in order to look slim in the second half of the film. Now remember the doctors’ recommendations that proper weight loss is no more than 1-2 kg per week, and calculate how much Bortich lost per week? I sincerely hope that this rollercoaster of weight gain and loss did not affect the actress’s health.

This was a much more difficult period in Alexandra’s life than the time when she was gaining weight. The recipe for success is a strict diet, painful massage and a lot, a lot of exercise. During this time, Sasha broke down more than once, and only the support of her relatives and director Alexei Nazhny helped her finish filming. She lost 15 kg, and after the film she continues to return to her original weight, but in a more relaxed manner.

Alexandra Bortich's diet: the opinion of nutritionists

Despite the fact that Alexandra Bortich’s weight loss method is based on the principles of proper nutrition, due to the low daily calorie content it cannot be considered safe. The optimal amount of kilograms lost per week is 2 kg, but the actress lost weight much faster, which could have been harmful to her health. It is recommended that you consult your doctor before using her diet.

“I’m losing weight”: how Alexandra Bortich gained weight and lost weight

On March 8, the premiere of the film “I’m Losing Weight” took place. The audience, accustomed to the thin actress Sasha Bortich, just gasped: on the screen Sasha looked HUGE!

The young actress accomplished an acting feat: she gained 20 kilos for filming!

The story is very real: director Alexey Nuzhny wrote the script after he himself lost 30 kg. And the poor main character had to first gain 20 kg of weight, and then, during the filming of the film, get rid of it, getting into shape.

“I like that my heroine and I are fundamentally different. In the situations she finds herself in, I would behave completely differently. This makes my character special and playing him is a challenge for me. Nevertheless, many will be able to recognize themselves in my heroine. I believe that the film has a very important mission: to convey to girls, girls, women the idea that we must accept ourselves as we are, love ourselves,” says Sasha Bortich in an interview.

It seems that we have known Sasha Bortich all our lives, but she appeared on the screens three years ago, in the cute Russian indie film “What’s My Name.” Now she has “Dukhless-2”, “Viking”, “About Love” and other films to her credit.

“I ate pizza, I ate sweets and drank vino. My stomach gets fat first, then my arms and legs. It was very funny when I had a month and a half to gain 20 kg. I had correspondence with the producers, I sent them my photos. According to the contract, my weight was prescribed, what number and how much I should weigh. At the moment when I weighed 67 kg, that is, I gained 9 kilograms, they panicked. They looked at my photos on social networks, where I look, in principle, OK, and shouted: “Why aren’t you fat? What's happening?""

“And losing weight was also very difficult. It seems to everyone that there is some kind of magical way, but in reality there is none. This is proper nutrition and exercise. It took me a month and a half to lose weight during the film, then after the film I lost more weight. It was difficult,” admits the actress.

“Few people know this, but I am very prone to being overweight. I’m currently working with Paulina Andreeva (on the set of Elena Khazanova’s black comedy “Mistresses”), and she just has a gorgeous figure and she calmly eats whatever she wants. That's why we have a joke that I hate Paulina. She had this moment where she orders something and says to me, 'Sorry.'

Yes, Sasha Bortich is prone to being overweight. As a child, she was a fairly large child. At the age of 16, the girl lost weight - because of unhappy love. Today, to stay in shape, a girl needs to make an effort. How did Sasha get fat? When the process began, she visited first South Korea, then Prague and Sardinia. In these places she could get real pleasure from food. True, the buzz ended after the first five days. She ate hot dogs and burgers for breakfast - and so on for a month and a half. And I lost weight, as usual, through proper nutrition, exercise and painful massage. The girl's maximum weight was 69 kg. As she admits, what helped her most was the support of her beloved man.

Ann Hataway

Anne Hathaway
Actress Anne Hathaway has never been particularly curvy, but she also had to go on wild diets and exhausting workouts. Her character in the film Les Miserables was sick with tuberculosis and looked the part, so Anne not only had to lose 13 kg, cut off her hair, fast for 13 days and even break her arm. Like Charlize Theron, Hathaway won an Oscar for her role, further proving that victim cinema loves and encourages.

Svetlana Hodchenkova

Svetlana Hodchenkova

Sasha Bortich is not the first Russian actress to gain 20 kilos for a role. Svetlana Khodchenkova gained the same amount of excess weight for her role in the film “Bless the Woman”, turning into a beautiful pashka. The film was worth it and became a breakthrough for Svetlana, and the actress regained her figure in just 3 months.

Christian Bale

Christian Bale: American Psycho, The Machinist, Batman Begins, The Fighter

Christian Bale, it seems, is actually from another planet - there is no other way to explain the fact that the actor’s body is like plasticine - it easily takes on any desired shape. He bulked up and gained muscle for the movie “American Psycho,” lost 50 pounds for “The Machinist,” gained muscle for “Batman Begins” and lost 20 pounds for “The Fighter.”

Christian Bale: The Dark Knight Rises, American Hustle, Exodus: Kings and Gods, Knight of Cups

But Christian didn’t stop there - he pumped up again for the sequel to The Dark Knight, and then put on a decent belly for his role in American Hustle. Traces of the belly are still visible in the film Exodus: Kings and Gods, but have completely evaporated by Knight of Cups. Christian is definitely made of some other stuff.

Sasha is our joy

The film “I'm Losing Weight” was released this spring. You can see the actress “before” and “after” on your TV or computer screen.

Now the girl is completely happy with her figure, because she again weighs 55 kg. Bortich admitted that this role became a challenge for her. She once again proved (primarily to herself) that the seemingly impossible is possible.

But nutritionists say that such rapid weight gain and loss is far from healthy. Such experiments cause harm to the entire body, primarily affecting the hormonal system.

The girl herself understands that these weight fluctuations could somehow harm her. However, the experiment was a success, the film was released, and Alexandra is satisfied with both her role and the transformation.

Olga Budina (+20 kg)

Serious cinema required serious changes from the actress.

For the filming of the acclaimed film “Stalin’s Wife,” Olga Budina had to gain several tens of kilograms. The thin girl revealed herself in a completely new way, transforming into the pregnant Nadezhda Alliluyeva.

Budina's fans were shocked by her curvaceous figure, but noted that the image for the film turned out to be perfect. The actress herself felt terribly uncomfortable at her new weight. Moreover, she had to say goodbye to her old wardrobe, because all her things became small.

Immediately after filming ended, Olga began to restore her lost graceful figure. She went on a strict diet and resumed her workouts at the gym. I had to remove buns, sparkling water, sweets and even meat from the diet. It was replaced by seafood and vegetables.

Alexandra Bortich: in childhood she was friends with bikers

The movie star was born in Svetlogorsk, Belarus. Her parents separated when the girl was three years old.

As a child, Alexandra was an active, cheerful girl. She enjoyed reading poetry to the assembled guests.

She also played the saxophone. A gentle beauty with blue eyes was friends with bikers and listened to hard rock.

When I was in tenth grade, I went to a drama school with a friend. There she realized that this was her calling and she could no longer live without playing.

After school, I didn’t pass the theater competition and entered the pedagogical institute. Two months later she realized that it was not hers and took the documents.

This is how the most sought-after actress in the country came to be.

Childhood of Alexandra Bortich

The future cinema star was born in the city of Svetlogorsk (Republic of Belarus). The family life of her parents did not work out, and they divorced when the girl was only 3 years old.

After that, her mother lived mainly in Moscow, and her grandmother in Grodno looked after Sasha until her granddaughter turned 10 years old. At that moment, Sasha’s mother married for the second time and took her daughter with her.

From an early age, the girl was a cheerful and active child, she easily memorized poems and often recited them in front of guests. In addition, Sasha Bortich enjoyed studying at a music school, where she mastered playing the saxophone.

Alexandra Bortich is interested in motorcycles

Sweet blue-eyed Sasha preferred to hang out with bikers during her school years. Through this experience, she learned to ride a motorcycle and fell in love with hard rock. As a teenager, the future actress attended concerts by Deep Purple, Iron Maiden and Robert Plant.

In her youth, Sasha Bortich loved hard rock

In the 10th grade, the girl and her best friend signed up for classes at a theater studio. It was there that she discovered that acting was her calling.

Alexandra Bortich is an incredibly bright and charismatic girl

After graduating from school, Bortich wanted to enter one of the capital's theater universities, but could not overcome the difficult competition. Then Sasha submitted documents to the Pedagogical Institute. However, the purposeful girl knew exactly what she was interested in and what she did not want to spend her life on. That is why she left the institute after 2 months. Instead of an uninteresting specialty, Sasha followed the classic path of aspiring actors: she began going to castings and made a living as a waitress in a cafe. This went on for about a year.

Alexandra Bortich (+20 kg)

Because of the new role, the actress almost lost her health.

To film the film “I’m Losing Weight,” Alexandra Bortich had to rapidly gain weight. In a few months, she gained 20 kilograms, and after completing the film project, she immediately lost them. Colleagues and fans of the actress call this act heroic - in recent years, few people from the world of Russian cinema have decided to sacrifice beauty and health for a new role.

As Bortich herself said, she was unable to see the cherished number on the scales for a very long time. The body resisted weight gain and was stuck at one point.

All the efforts made did not give the desired results. The weight remained the same and could not exceed 70 kilograms. Sasha tried everything: professional high-calorie nutrition, flour, sweets, but nothing helped.

According to the film's script, the plump heroine Bortich had to lose weight for the sake of her lover. Therefore, Sasha had to rapidly lose weight during filming to the original weight. According to the actress, the weight changes did not affect her health at all. Now she feels great, but she is unlikely to dare to do this again.

Sasha Bortich and her extra 20 kg

The star of the film “Viking”, 22-year-old actress Alexandra Bortich, posted on her microblog and showed a still from the film, for which she gained 20 kilograms. The actress is starring in the film “I’m Losing Weight,” directed by Alexei Nazhny.

There are many cases in the history of world cinema when actors had to gain weight or, conversely, lose weight for the sake of a role. For example, Jared Leto gained 30 kilograms for the film “Chapter 27”, Renee Zellweger changed beyond recognition to play the role of Bridget Jones.

There are few such examples in Russian cinema. Mostly plastic makeup is used during filming. Sasha Bortich did not take the easy path and gained an extra 20 kilograms.

Bortich shared photos of her unexpected transformation on one of the social networks. The pictures provoked heated discussions on the Internet. The actress herself decided not to speak out about the resonant shots. Lately, Sasha prefers not to post photos in tight clothes, and also avoids taking full-length shots.

Previously, Alexandra admitted that she takes filming very seriously. Each role became unique for her. While working on the historical blockbuster “Viking”, the artist had to “get used to” the ancient era. After the premiere of the film directed by Andrei Kravchuk, the actress began to receive more lucrative offers. Bortich was involved in several major projects at once - the series “Alien Blood”, as well as in the films “Conductor” and “Burn!”

The film's premiere is scheduled for next year, but for now Sasha is sharing footage from the set. In the story, the heroine Bortich dated a young man who left her due to excess weight. The girl will have to make sacrifices to lose weight.

Sasha posted a photo of herself in a polka dot swimsuit and short shorts. In this way, the artist made it clear to her followers that she really had to gain a lot of weight for the role.

Subscribers began to vigorously discuss what they saw. However, their opinions were divided. Some considered Sasha’s new figure unaesthetic, while others found her very attractive. “Don’t eat me, Sash!”, “I don’t even know why, but you have become even sexier, Sasha,” “I still admire your selfless love for the profession! You are an amazing actress!”, “Sasha is fat,” “Come on?! Shura, how can we go back?”, “To mock your body like that,” “What kind of fatty?”, “Sasha Tolstich,” “Tiny little pot-bellied guy,” commented Instagram users.

Is Sasha Bortich our answer to Charlize Theron and Renee Zellweger?

20 kg gained because

Jared Leto

Jared Leto
The king of transformations Jared Leto has already accustomed the viewer to his metamorphoses - he applied makeup, walked in heels and experimented with his figure. For the role of Leto, I had to lose weight twice—however, it never went unnoticed by viewers and critics. The first time he lost weight was for his role in the film “Requiem for a Dream”, the second time was for “Dallas Buyers Club” (we also haven’t forgotten about Matthew McConaughey’s weight loss in the same film, but about that another time). Moreover, between these roles the actor managed to gain weight for the film “Chapter 27.” According to Leto, gaining weight was more difficult for him and had a significant impact on his health.
