Actresses Annette Bening, 65, and Jodie Foster, 60, whipped into shape for sports drama Nyad

LOS ANGELES – The biographical sports drama Nyad assembles a dream team of Oscar winners to tell the true story of American long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad, who in 2013 completed a 180km, 53-hour swim from Cuba to Florida – at age 64 and without a protective shark cage.

Bening, who was Oscar-nominated for dramas such as American Beauty and The Kids Are All Right , was their first choice for the lead.The American actress also committed to rigorous physical training for a year before filming began, and fellow American Foster – who won Oscars for the crime dramas The Accused and The Silence Of The Lambs – whipped herself into impressive shape too.

“And there’s not one image or shot of either of them that’s been retouched or augmented,” the director adds. But neither that film nor their 2021 documentary The Rescue – about the daring 2018 rescue of a Thai boys’ soccer team from a cave – prepared them for this one.
