at that point i'd prolly stress eat and gain weight, tho 'fat' actors tend to not get super serious/important roles (tho that might work out for him lol), but i'd also just straight up lie or have a sob story like "Actually my relatives saw my works and got upset seeing me tortured/dying so I promised that i'd try to avoid works that require heavy violence" or so, but at least he was able to not need to try super hard to convince him this time
