It\u2019s more so that I did stuff before, in season one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cA lot of my research and prep for season two was very physical. It was researching glow-up stuff,\u201d the actor shared. \u201cI tried, over the summer, four different hairstyles to see which one I liked. I went to the gym, I got in really good shape, and I made sure my skin was very on point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Gentry revealed how a change in his hairstyle was also a part of the character\u2019s glow-up. \u201cSeason one, I felt like Alex was more of a ragamuffin in a way, and so I put his hair in his face and stuff,\u201d he shared. \u201cThe way my hair is in season two is just my hair. That\u2019s just how I do my hair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cSo it was hard and it was a lot of pressure, and it did make me feel like s\u2014 about myself at times \u2014 though I disagree\u2014 but I\u2019m happy with how it came out,\u201d the actor admitted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He concludes by saying, \u201cIn spite of how I felt about it initially \u2014 that initial reaction of like, \u2018Oh, well, why do I need a glow up in the first place?\u2019 \u2014 it was very fun. It was a very fun and interesting thing to do, and I got to do a lot of cool stuff on set because of it \u2014 with the costumes and with hair and makeup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/pop-culture\/news\/2020967-my-life-with-the-walter-boys-season-2-ashby-gentry-alex-glow-up\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:My Life with the Walter Boys\u2019 Ashby Gentry on Alex\u2019s \u2018Glow-Up\u2019 in Season 2;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">My Life with the Walter Boys\u2019 Ashby Gentry on Alex\u2019s \u2018Glow-Up\u2019 in Season 2<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon.net &#8211; Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Walter gets a massive glow-up in Netflix\u2019s My Life with the Walter Boys Season 2.
