Shallow Hal behind the scenes gags

In the film, Gwyneth wants to break through to become a fat man weighing more than 300 kilograms. For this reason, she had to wear a "fat costume" made of artificial fat to achieve the effect. This suit is very uncomfortable and even breathless after putting it on. She also needs to stick the plastic mask on her face, each time it takes 3 hours to stick, and it takes another 1 hour to remove makeup.
Gwyneth once took to the streets as a fat girl "Rosemary" during the filming, and went to hang out in the hotel lobby, hoping to learn about the daily life of a fat man.
The film is the first time that Jack Black has played the leading role, and he has performed weight loss specifically for the role of Hal.
There is a scene where Rosemary jumps into the swimming pool and splashes huge water splashes. When shooting, two very thick hoses were used to spray water jets from both sides of Rosemary to simulate huge splashes.

This film benefited from the selection of two excellent characters, one is the vulgar male jack black (he was so thin at the time!) and the good family woman model gwyneth paltrow. The two interpreted the characters very well, and they thought it was a movie. Very vulgar comedy, but it turned out to be a rare and touching comedy movie of truth, kindness and beauty. I was really moved at the end of the film. Another highlight is the music, ivy, koc, cake can be heard.

What is this? The right match? Fat people can only find frustrations?!! Inner beauty will only be seen when the appearance is neatly cleaned up... Although I don't want to admit it, it's true.
