You might not have heard her name, but you’d sure recognise her face-Cynthia Koh put on a bunch of weight to play her chubby role in Happy Families despite a potentially life-threatening thyroid condition (despite her weight gain, she also had to wear a fat suit to be large enough to play the role). She also shaved her head and lost a huge amount of weight for an earlier role as a war prisoner, for which she received critical acclaim.
