“Feeling Happier with Extra Weight”: Clara Galle Advocates for Diverse Female Body Types in ‘La Revuelta’ After Gaining Muscle for Her Role in Netflix’s ‘Olympo’

Actress Clara Galle returned this Monday to The Rebellion to present her new series: Olympo, which premieres on June 20 on Netflix. In it, she plays an elite athlete, a star of synchronized swimming. During her appearance, she provided details about the intense physical and sports training she underwent for nine months.

“Women have always been socially told that we need to be thinner. The reality is that I, gaining weight, am super happy. I’ve really come to enjoy being strong,” she commented on the program, after having gained muscle for her character.

Galle showed off her quadriceps to Broncano’s surprise and stated that she continues to train alone at the municipal pool in her neighborhood, declaring herself “more obsessed than a fan” of synchronized swimming.

Born in Pamplona 23 years ago, the actress has starred alongside Julio Peña Fernández (one of the actors from Berlin) in the romantic youth trilogy that began with Through My Window. This is the adaptation of the novels by Venezuelan Ariana Godoy, which were also launched on Netflix.

In addition to The Boarding School: The Peaks (Prime Video), the young actress has been part of the international cast of the third and final season of The Head (Max). In Olympo, she shares the screen with Agustín Della Corte and Nuno Gallo, with whom she attended The Rebellion this Monday to promote the series, along with Blanca Suárez and Pedro Alonso.
