When the tsunami consumed the resort, María broke her nose, tore up her leg, and experienced bleeding in her kidneys, bladder, and intestines, which is consistent with what Naomi Watts' main character endures in The Impossible. Bayona would say, ‘Maria, what is going on?’ I would say, 'They need to cry. And it shouldn’t be raining. It was the dry season. It was raining and raining and raining during the whole shoot. “I could almost feel all the souls there. In the movie, the cast members even stand in the exact same spots where the Belón family members had been. According to María (via the Los Angeles Times), her family visited the set of The Impossible to provide accurate, real-life-based inspiration for the film based on their own individual experiences of the tsunami disaster. For the wave scene, Watts and Holland spent time in a Spanish water tank and special effects were later added digitally. The Impossible was filmed at the Orchid Beach resort in Thailand, the same place where the real Belón family stayed when the tsunami hit.
In December 2012, McGregor addressed the whitewashing controversy and summed up the spirit of the film: While the whitewashing accusations are certainly valid, the cast itself isn't exclusively white, but rather comprised of various Thai individuals.

While those involved in the making of the film may not see a problem with casting white actors for the lead roles, it is true that Hollywood's film industry has the unfortunate tendency to place the projected success of a movie on the popularity of an actor, how they look, and how likely audiences are to see a film with unknown actors in lead roles. Considering Watts was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in The Impossible, it would seem that María Belón chose the right actor for her role. In this sense, the real María chose the actor whose talents she felt could best fulfill the needs of such a harrowing role, rather than choosing based on accurate nationality. She very well could have picked a well-known Spanish actor with a mainstream appeal like Penélope Cruz, but instead chose the actor that made an impression upon her while viewing 21 Grams, a 2003 drama by Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu. In reality, María Belón hand-picked Naomi Watts to portray her in The Impossible. Related: Roland Emmerich's Favorite Disaster Movies
