Born in 1997, Tran Ngoc Tu is not a new name in the sports world, especially Vovinam. With a superior height compared to her peers, Ngoc Tu soon revealed special qualities for sports that require bodybuilding. He fell in love with Vovinam quite early and quickly proved his talent and hard training.

Born in a poor farming family with many children in Thanh country, Ngoc Tu soon had to receive the pai.n of being orphaned when in 2002, Tu's mothe.r died, at that time Tu was only 5 years old. Experiencing a difficult childhood, Tu rolled around in school and practiced many sports but was not suitable. He also wandered many places as a helper to earn a living.

In the past 7 years, since the bo.y born in 1997 packed his towel in the South to return to Vovinam Ho Chi Minh City. HCM. Tu has gone through many experiences to gradually overcome difficulties. He tasted more failures than successes, but Tu still did not give up. He hopes to one day represent Vietnam in international tournaments.

On the other hand, Tu has grown up a lot. The first days of arriving in Ho Chi Minh City. His huge physique makes many people curious to follow every time he appears. That made him quite uncomfortable.

But, now he sees it differently and is more open and confident in front of everyone. Therefore, he accepted invitations to do advertisements of many brands. At the same time, he participated in film projects. This helps him have more income to support his life and family in the countryside. Since the lake worker Tran Ngoc Tu is stained with mud every day, he has grown a lot.

After that, I participated in the film every time I could arrange the time and was allowed by the Vovinam sports manager, because I was an athlete. I am working hard every day to play well, and develop in many other directions," the giant shared.

With increasing height and weight, from the initial fitness advantage compared to boxers in the same weight class, Ngoc Tu is increasingly disadvantaged. As of December 2020, Tu is 2.25m tall. A height that is too different from ordinary people.

As a result, his normal weight, even if he tried to eat enough, was about 156 kg. But aware of having to keep his competitive weight, he ate less to keep his weight at over 130kg.

Therefore, every time they enter the tournament, they are required to press their weight to be eligible to compete in the largest weight class of over 92 kg to 120 kg. The weight pressing stage is a tortur.e for all athletes. But with this giant it is many times more. Tu had to cut back on his already insufficient diet to be able to compete.

Therefore, when he was eligible to compete, his physical strength was significantly depleted. Insufficient nutrition makes him not have much energy even though he has an outstanding body. It was easy to see when he stepped on the mat. He quickly ran out of breath after his competitive efforts.

In particular, opponents have studied this giant quite well, so they actively move to dodge blows to wear down Tu's physical strength. Then close to limit Tu's wide amplitude blows. Or sometimes, they just run to dodge the time waiting for the lucky draw. Tu has tasted so many failures.

Not only a talented athlete, Tran Ngoc Tu is also known as a person with a strong will and a high spirit of discipline. In order to maintain his top physique and competitive technique, he had to go through arduous training and strict nutrition. It is these qualities that have created a Tran Ngoc Tu who is not only physically strong but also mentally resilient, an important factor that helps him overcome challenges in both his sports career and the field of art later.

The fact that a professional Vovinam athlete like Tran Ngoc Tu suddenly appeared in a horror movie, took on a role that required a special costume like "ghost" in "Detective Kien" surprised many people.

According to the film crew, director Victor Vu and his crew had a thorough casting process to find the right actor for the role of "ghost" - a key character, bringing horror and mystery elements to the film. The requirements for the appearance of this character are extremely special: a tall, somewhat deformed physique to create a strong visual effect. During the search, Tran Ngoc Tu with a height of 2m2 and a muscular physique caught the director's eye.

Initially, perhaps the film crew was merely looking for someone with a suitable appearance. However, when contacting and working with Tran Ngoc Tu, they realized that he not only has an advantage in fitness, he also has seriousness, enthusiasm and potential acting ability. Although she did not have much acting experience before, Ngoc Tu showed her willingness to learn and strive to transform into the character in the best way.

The decision to choose an athlete for a role that is heavy on costumes and requires special physical acting can be considered a bold move by director Victor Vu. However, Tran Ngoc Tu's impressive appearance in the excerpts and parody images of "Detective Kien" has proven that this choice is completely grounded.

It is undeniable that Tran Ngoc Tu's height of 2m2 and weight of 120kg are a key factor that helped him be chosen for the role of "ghost". His massive, distinct appearance has brought a strong visual effect, contributing to the horror and obsession of the character.

In many scenes, just the appearance of "ghost" Tran Ngoc Tu with a tall and illustrious physique is enough to make the audience feel creepy. The advantage in height and weight makes it easy for him to create bizarre looks, heavy steps, and scary movements.

However, special appearance also poses significant challenges in the process of dressing up and acting. Moving and performing complex movements in thick costumes can be more difficult than for actors with normal physique. The film crew and Tran Ngoc Tu himself certainly had to find optimal options to both take advantage of their appearance and ensure the best acting effect.
