Yoshizawa Ryo Spent 1.5 Years Preparing for His Role in the Movie National Treasure: "The Culmination of My Acting Career" – First Press Conference Since Drinking Incident, Appears in Black Suit with Short Hair

 

With short hair and dressed in an all-black suit, he stepped onto the stage and bowed deeply. Wearing a serious expression, he applauded as his co-stars appeared. The entire process—from preparing for the role to wrapping up filming—took about a year and a half. “The amount of time and energy I put into this project was on a whole different level,” he said. He gave everything he had to the role, declaring, “This is the culmination of my acting career. I threw everything I’ve built up until now into this one film.”

Comments: 

1. [+414, 81] His looks are good, but his drinking habits… not so much.

2. [+292, -12] Looks like he lost about 15 kilos since the Taiga drama.

3. [+175, -20] He's got really prominent ears, huh?

4. [+85, -60] Love you…♡

5. [+225, -50] Welcome back!

6. [+128, -7] Done already with his "atonement period"?

 >> They settled things and he wasn't prosecuted, no?

7. [+394, -11] Gotta be careful with the alcohol

8. [+294, -16] Long time no see! Watch yourself with the booze, alright?

9. [+9, -47] Just hearing “the culmination of my acting career, I poured everything I’ve built up into this work” makes it sound like he’s about to retire or something…

10. [+459, -78] There’s no one who doesn’t have dirt on them when you start digging, so I hope he keeps doing his best.

11. [+323, -18] I kinda wanna see it, many of the cast members have been leads in historical dramas.

12. [+50, -82] It's a matter of taste, but he doesn't look handsome at all to me

13. [+148, -92] It's such a turn off seeing how much he's being defended.

 >> I’m not a fan, but I think he’s been criticized enough. Of course, some fans probably gave some ridiculous defense, but I think most people agreed that Yoshizawa was at fault.

>> Didn't his scandal happen around the same time as Nakai? He was pretty lucky with the timing.
