In a Zoom interview with The Star, González explained: "When we watch movies, we rarely think about the weather or the surrounding conditions."

"But on filming days, those factors can be absolutely pivotal, and you have zero control over them. You just have to adapt."

González recalled that during the Bangkok scenes, she was required to wear a full-body suit for her action sequences, which added to the already intense conditions.

"I remember actually feeling faint during the Bangkok scene because it was incredibly hot," she recalled. "[Director] Guy [Ritchie] wanted me in a full-piece suit, and I was sweating. You have to mentally trick yourself, telling yourself ‘I’m not hot, I’m cold’ to get through the scene. So that process was interesting."

González, 35, is known for her roles in Argentine sitcom series "Sueña conmigo" (Dream About Me) and Hollywood films "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series," "Baby Driver," "Alita: Battle Angel," "Bloodshot," and "Ambulance."

"Fountain of Youth" is the latest addition to Ritchie’s filmography. The movie follows a group of treasure hunters as they navigate global locations to uncover the legendary fountain of eternal life.
