Mon Confiado amazed netizens as he posted old photos of how he drastically transformed himself to fit his character in the the film 'The Diplomat Hotel.'

Mon Confiado is known to be a prolific actor and he continues to amaze netizens as he posted old photos of how he drastically transformed himself to fit his character in the the film The Diplomat Hotel.

Back in 2013, Mon portrayed a strange man against the equally mysterious and haunted landmark in Baguio. Despite being typecast in anti-hero roles, he breathed life into this character via method acting.

He shared behind-the-scenes snaps from the film and reminisced on his experience.

Mon wrote, “It’s like you’ve abandoned your body. Lost 40 lbs, shaved hairline and pate, body slouch posture for 3 weeks, deeper voice speaking for 3 weeks, slept in the Diplomat Hotel ruins in the entire shooting."
