What woman does not dream to eat everything at any time of the day, and even with a pleasant bonus in the form of a substantial sum of money for such pleasure?
Many envy actresses who are allowed to fill their stomachs with junk food from morning till night, gaining weight for a role for big money. But all this is not sugar, and not at all as pleasant as it may seem. Charlize Theron told Page Sixhow much pain it cost her to gain 50 pounds (23-25 kg) for the role in the new film "Tully“, Which will premiere on May 4.
Theron played the mother of many children Marlo, tired of his own life and waving his hand. She wanted to understand what this woman felt, and therefore the use of junk food was one of the ways to get closer to her, to adopt the way of her thinking.
“You know, it came as a big surprise to me. I literally received a blow of depression right in the face. Yes, for the first time in my life I ate so much processed food and so much sugar. It wasn’t as fun as it sounds. ”
Theron, 42, ate by the hour to maintain her weight gain. “Imagine that you can no longer eat so much food, and it turns into work,” - admits the actress.
“I literally woke up at 2 am, ate a large plate of cold macaroni and cheese, which was already next to the bed. I woke up and ate, I had to just eat it ... I had to stuff it down my throat. It was very difficult to maintain this weight. ”
Both children Charlize, six-year-old Jackson and two-year-old Augustus, decided that their mother was pregnant again, so striking was her weight gain, especially in the abdomen.
When the shooting was over, the equally difficult job of getting rid of those extra pounds began. Lose weight quickly her doctors forbade. Getting back into shape took a year and a half.
“I was worried, it was all so long. When I was filming "Monster", then for weight loss I simply did not eat for several days, and that's it. But at 27, your body is not the same as at 42. True, my doctor reassured him, constantly reminding him that the matter is simply age, and everything will definitely work out ”.
Judging by the great form that Theron demonstrates today, she adequately coped with the task.
