Wanda Nara Reveals 10 kg Weight Gain for Film Role

27 September 2026

Wanda Nara surprised everyone by sharing one of the details of her preparation for her new challenge as an actress. The businesswoman and host revealed that she had to undergo a significant physical transformation to portray Lucía, her character in the film Do You Want to Be My Son?, where she shares the cast with Agustín Bernasconi.

The confession arose through a round of questions she opened in her Instagram Stories. There, one of her followers wanted to know what had impacted her the most about making this movie.

Wanda’s answer was decisive and was accompanied by a photo of her outdoors, in winter attire with a headscarf: “I gained 10 kilos to portray Lucía. I prepared a lot.”

The transformation was part of the preparation Wanda undertook to put herself in Lucía’s shoes. Although she did not give details about the process she followed to modify her figure, she made clear that it was a decision directly tied to the character’s needs.

The next question was precisely why she had to gain 10 kilos for this role. Rather than reveal plot details or explain Lucía’s traits, Wanda answered with a phrase that left the intrigue open: “You have to see it (the film).”

In this way, the actress chose to keep the specific reason behind the transformation in reserve and let the film reveal how that physical change relates to her character.

Wanda Nara’s Challenge as an Actress

The preparation for Do You Want to Be My Son? represents a new experience for Wanda, who in recent years expanded her professional profile to various areas of the entertainment industry.

In this case, the challenge involved not only stepping into the skin of a character, but also altering her appearance to build Lucía. La propia Wanda destacó que se preparó especialmente para el papel, aunque todavía mantiene en reserva buena parte de los detalles.

Besides the physical change, there was another aspect of the project that she highlighted most: the bond with the people who were part of the team.

“But what captivated me the most is the human group that makes up this project”, Wanda stated when asked what surprised her most about the experience.
