  "account": "In preparation for the upcoming Street Fighter movie, Callina Liang faced the challenge of matching Chun-Li's muscular physique. Director Kitao Sakurai shared a humorous anecdote during a Q&A session about the need for Liang's stunt double to wear butt pads to achieve the desired look. The transformation was so significant that Liang's legs grew by 6.5 centimeters, making it difficult for the stunt double to convincingly portray Chun-Li's physique. Noah Centineo, who plays Ken Masters, commented that the double also had to wear the pads out of solidarity. Liang herself revealed that she endured a rigorous martial arts routine, including Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and Wushu, along with a drastic change in her diet, which involved consuming 12 eggs every two hours. By the end of the shoot, her thighs had grown an impressive six-and-a-half centimeters.",
