Hidilyn Diaz cosplays Luisa Madrigal from Disney film ‘Encanto’

Filipino weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz is a real-life Luisa Madrigal from the animated Disney film “Encanto.”

The Olympic gold-medalist just posted a photo of herself dressed as the super-strong female character, from her white shirt and patterned skirt to her enormous flexed biceps.

Hidilyn shared the pics in her Instagram story with a modest caption, saying her attempt was “same same but different.”

“Tinatry ko maging Luisa Madrigal kasi sabi niyo ako ‘yun, kaso waley di pasok makeup, hair and outfit ko,” she wrote.

Hidilyn Diaz from Zamboanga City ruled the women's weightlifting 55-kg event at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

She made history as the first-ever Filipino to win an Olympic gold medal since the country joined the Summer Games.

Her “Encanto” cosplay is quite fitting as the film character Luisa has superhuman strength, allowing her to lift large, heavy things, such as buildings and bridges, with ease. —Margaret Claire Layug/JAB, GMA News.
