Wagner Moura was used to be thin before, but because of playing the role of Pablo Escobar in "Narcos" he needs to gain more weight. According to News.com at the age of 40 years old, Moura must add more weight to fit the role of the elusive Pablo Escobar.
For the upcoming "Narcos" Season 2, Moura would still reprise his role as the Columbian drug kingpin. This season depicts the struggles of Pablo Escobar along with his journey to evade the police force and maintain his power as the drug kingpin.
It was mentioned that Moura gained 18 kilos in order to play the lead role in "Narcos," an original show that Netflix aired. Other hurdle that he had to endure was to speak the language of Pablo Escobar. To prepare himself for the role, he studied Spanish. At the same time, he did everything to gain the required weight for the role.
The demand that the series rendered to him might be unprecedented, but the "Narcos" lead actor was able to surpass it all. Moura even hinted that the present season would be more thrilling and unpredictable.
