Juliane Moore Starving Herself!
Filed under: Julianne Moore
Poor thing!
Julianne Moore has confessed to existing on a diet of granola bars.
In a frank interview with Eve magazine, the actress talks about the pressures to sustain an ‘acceptable’ figure in the film industry, plus her whacky diet.
She revealed: “I still battle with my deeply boring diet of, essentially, yogurt and breakfast cereal and granola bars. I hate dieting. I hate having to do it to be the 'right' size. I’m hungry all the time.”
Girl, that ain't no way to live!
“I think I’m a slender person, but the industry apparently doesn’t," she adds. "All actresses are hungry all the time, I think.”
How sad.
Maybe that's why so many of them are so crazy!

Sad! I'd rather be fat and happyyyyyy! I eat normal shiz and I'm still way hotter than Juliane moore….FIRSTIES!
Thats just plain sad
They have all this money to go to great restaurants and to eat great food… but they can't becasue they might gain half a pound. What a crappy way to live.
saddddddddddd (1ST)
Try purging, Bee-YOTCH!
FIRST!
Finally someone who tells the truth! I hate it when actresses pretend like they eat like a 450 man and magically stay in a size 2.
tenth??
first!
I hear ya sista! Its not easy trying to stay halfway thin even in the normal world much less hollywood. I could only imagine trying to stay thin to fit in the sample sizes!!!
you have to starve to stay thin…just ask posh.
Barbara Walters : "Do you ever eat a cookie or a piece of cake?"
Posh ; "No, never!" (looks offended.)
well I don't feel sorry for her, she done it to herself, she doesn't have to listen to them, there is a healthy way to shape up, and its not the way shes trying, shes not even trying to help herself, and she needs time to get a better body if she wants to, and if her company that she works for cant give her the time she needs then maybe it would be best for her to quit and go somewhere else.
I have seen her jogging at the Central Park reservoir. She is a very beautiful woman. I guess the very strict diet and exercise, along with sometime unwanted papararazzi attention, is just part of the job description for a multi-million dollar a year job of an actor. They have choices after all.
then let her starve….
go visit some of the homeless around you and see what starving is.
If you can't be yourself and be happy then what is the point of living.
Es normal, es humana, ….. yo pense que era tan maravillosa su actuacion que era un ET pero noooo!!!!
I sympathize since she is almost required to be thin. But surely she has the means to join Jenny Craig or get expert dietary help. Average people can't really afford stuff like that. It's hard to stay a normal weight. I exercise an hour a day and would still have to eat like a sparrow to be under a Size 12. I watch more or less what I eat and I'm still overweight. Not fun.
It's the same way in the music industry for women. Once they start creeping up to 40 no one wants them anymore that's why it is so important for women to keep their options open and to go into different venues with their careers.
She could put on 50 pounds and still be fucking dead sexy.
That's such bullshit. The whole industry is complete bullshit. There are only a handful of actresses in Hollywood who look like they actually eat.
I'm glad to see one of them telling it like it is and admitting to this thing called the Hollywood Disease. You go girl, now get a burger! Geeze, I hate them skinny bitches showing up flat as a board after popping out a kid just a week earlier, all like "Oh I work out, we can ALL do it: it's just a combination of eating the right food and going to the gym" - Ehm, riiiiight. The right food being granola bars and lettuce I assume?
tragic
There is a BBC documentary about this on this Sunday. Three women tried popular diets the stars try and they documented how they went mentally crazy. Very, very sad. Also, it explains the need for coke and heroin for a lot of them. Just look at Amy Winehouse… before drug addiction she was even less attractive. Media has gotten the rest of us to the point where stars with drug addictions or eating disorders look better to most of us than those who don't! Sick. Oh, and Perez, you are included in that. You are overweight, but making fun of famous people's size and appearance ALL the time.
not eating is not normal/healthy or sane but the alternative is not working and actors want to work.
julienne moore is keeping it real, being thin doesnt come naturally for everyone.
i read jane fond's memoir a few years ago, she has issues with her weight for years, fonda suffered from bulemia and depression for years.
I COMMENT her for honesty! It is about time someone said it like it is…I think of the line in Notting Hill, when Julia Roberts character says she's been on a diet since she began acting, so she's been hungry for ten years…I love honesty…about time.
Well I think it's amazing of her to admit it because it's extremely obvious but yet most celeb's continue to say things like "oh i just ate a burger and fries" and "I eat so much all the time and dont work out"
BUT this is a semi eating disorder, it's called ednos (eating disorder not otherwise specified).. at least thats how i feel.
I've suffered from an eating disorder for almost 10 years and I feel so much for her. She probably doesnt give a shit about her weight but her job depends on it. This is a sad reality but not only for celebrities.
Nice photoshop work on the cover
Use a large headed toothbrush on the back of your throat after a juicy meal, Julianne. It helps you wretch up all that horrible fat causing food!
Tell us something we don't know!
I'm glad she's speaking out about this. more celebs should. The "industry" has set an impossible standar that even THEY can't keep up with. It's so absurd. Won't don't they just say "enough is enough" and just be a normal weight? They're the ones setting the standard that not only they have to live by but we (the rest of the public) are encouraged to live up to. All those women in acting and modeling sould just tell the industry where to stuff it and not kill themselves or live miserably trying to stay like 15 or 20 pounds underweight. What is the industry going to do about it? Fire everyone? Yeah I'd like to see that.
AT LEAST SHE IS ADMITTING IT!
EVERYONE ELSE SAYS: YEAH - IM NATURALLY A SIZE 0.
I EAT ALL THE TIME.
I JUST EAT CHOC AND DONT PUT ON ANY WEIGHT!
* LIARS *
AT LEAST SHE IS HONEST.
FEEL SORRY FOR HER THO.
Perez….I love you! Tell tell that shiz like it is!!!!
Let's just throw her an f'n pity party!
If you're a talented actress, you'll always get movie roles. Just ask Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, Kathy Bates or Queen Latifah.
Might not get the sexy love interest roles. It's all about priorities.
Stop living off your looks, cause very soon you'll be battling age discrimination. That is gonna be a bigger battle than weight discrimination…
but then there's always botox and surgery.
Good for her for being honest instead of all the other bullshit stories of proper diet and exercise - no one is 5'10" and 105 lbs with proper diet and nutrition. Let's call a spade a spade - Hollywood actresses are starving themselves thin and not fooling anyone!!!!
Of course actresses are hungry all the time!!!!!
There's a great line in Dangerous Liaisons, where Glenn Close's character says
"…vanity and happiness are incompatible"
BELIEVE IT
what kind of message does this send to your kids julianne?? get out of the business and show them what is really important…
I've wondered about that. How heartbreaking and ridiculous. Mad props to her for being so honest.
She's hungry all the time because she's living on a high carb, low fat diet! This is a recipe for bingeing! Low carb rocks!!
Sad what Hollywood standards are. Aren't they learning from all these models that are dying of heart failure because they need to be a size 0? Most people would not turn off a show or not see a movie if these women were slightly larger-Most doctors would say you were unhealthy if you were below the weight/height chart, it's sad that Hollywood doesn't consider you qualified for the job unless you are a size 0.
Yeah, if it's so sad maybe you'll stop calling anyone above a size 0 "fat," Perez. You are in a position to help change things, yet all you do is perpetuate the screwed up belief that you have to be skinny to be beautiful.
heh heh, I'll feed her
I met her at Barns and Nobles in NY when I was there on holiday last Oktober… she was eating breaakfast…. cottage cheese and fruit pieces…. not the most exiting but not bad breakfast,,,, (the american people were wondering what cattage cheese is,,,, Really!!!!! come on… ) any way she is sooooooo funny!
well fuck it. yeah, its hard to deal with what the industry want, cuz hollywood's hard, but c'mon, are they ALL supposed to look like starving african children?
I can see why she feels so much pressure, she has to stay a size 2 in order to get work and it doesn't help that she's pushing 50.
Iam glad that at least one of these hollywood actors came clean and admits that she is starving herself because of her desire to work as an actor in hollywood. The only way anything is going to change in this world is by admitting something and aknowledging it´s wrong….
I think the actors should unite and strike against these sick hollywood standards!
Perez, why don't you start with yourself and quit calling celebs above size 0 FAT!
kudos for her honesty tho
Could PLEASE anyone tell me how much does weigh Amy Winehouse/ how tall is she??? I can't find out and she is the skinnest celeb possible!! Also- do you think that Nicole Richie is less than 100 pounds (45 kilos) again??
FINALLY SHE'S HONEST ENOUGH TO TELL WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE ACTRESSES AND ACTORS OUT THERE! STOP STARVING YOURSELF…IT'S NOT GOOD FOR YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH!
well, guess that's what you have to do these days to make millions of dollars. it's not easy, but hey, you have the choice to stop and make a "regular" salary too… oh wait, you don't mind too much now huh?
It is terrible that these stars make the money to go to all these wonderful places and restaurants and feel that they can't. That's not living in the slightest. I may not have the ideal body type (by far), but I enjoy eating and staying healthy (…with the occasional slip up).
Um I didn't think granola was actually that good of a food to eat when you are dieting?! But the thing is, if they just ate healthy food and exercised, they would look fine. I don't get it? Food is good, you just have to use moderation and be healthy. I would feel bad for these people if they weren't millionares. Isn't it ironic that people with the most money eat the least? What is wrong with our society?
Re: Helene – amy's 5'3 and 90lbs.
Re: Meeegan –
what is the documentary on BBC called? has anyone seen the documentary "thin?" it takes place in a treatment center for anorexics. and the scarry thing is many of these women look normal, or normal for thin hollywood. and they admit to limiting themselves to only 200 calories a day!
THAT COVER SHOT IS FROM AN INSTYLE MAG FROM LIKE 3 YEARS AGO!!!
i'm on 1000 calories a day and i'm never hungry. you just gotta be smart and eat sensible stuff like loads of veggies, drink lots of water and keep off the fatty stuff. i've lost 8 kilos in the past 4 months that way, that's included christmas, new year and several birthday parties with cakes.
Well, at least she's regular. She's probably shitting up a storm eating all of that granola.
What a great life she has….
at least she is doing her job unlike jennifer love hewlett. i hate fat chicks, they are disgusting slobs. if youre fat get the fuck out of the camera lens
feel sorry for actresses. Guess the guys don't have it too bad, which isnt fair.
It is not healthy starving yourself! Wild that she has admitted it though.
I appreciate the honesty!
Bloody well eat then, you have enough money to quit and do some proper acting - get off the film set and onto the stage. Get a brain!
Especially sad AND hypocritical because she narrated a public service campaign against eating disorders and starving yourself. Campaign was aimed at teenage females.
Re: sara g – I've seen Thin (and read the book) and been to treatment (in LA) 3 times, and let me tell you, the girl who said she got by on 200 calories a day wasn't consistently eating 200 calories a day.
She was bulimic who abused laxatives - which doesn't rid yourself of most calories. Or she'd starve for a few days, and then binge, then starve etc.
You're totally right about the people looking "Hollywood normal" or normal. A lot of the girls there would have been on the cover of US or People "How I got my body back" etc. stupid diet stories.
Hollywood doesn't get their bodies from following the diets they're pimping in mags; they either exercise constantly, starve themselves, puke, do drugs, or a some neurotic combination of the above.
But…that's what they're getting paid to do.
You're so right Perez, I bet at least half the reason they're so crazy is because they're starving yourself. All I've got is my own experience but, from what I know, poor diet = poor health, coupled with competitive environment/pressure leads to complete mental meltdown. But then it's a vicious cycle because when you're that low it's difficult to get healthy again. Hmm..
*themselves.
bahhhhhh, go eat a sandwich.
How utterly tragic to have your life revolving about your weight..
Eat and enjoy life, for Christ's sake!!
Fuck 'em all, I say!
Ain't nobody keeping you from picking up a fork and feeding yourself sweetie. If being a fuckin' "!!STAR!!" is so goddamn important to you that you will destroy yourself to do it, then you're a big girl-go for it. And don't blame "the Industry" or "our thin-obsessed Culture" or "Societal pressures to conform" or any other goddamn cop-out. You make your own choices and you accept the results without whining.
You are Woman-let's hear you roar!
Re: Mays –
Well said!!
FINALLY SOME HONESTY!!! Nobody has a great figure like hers by "eating what ever they want" and "having a fast metabolism" like most actresses/singers say. When I used to look like that all I did was think about food! I applaud Julianne Moore for being HONEST! Figures like that are not natural & come at a cost, but the choice is for each one of us to make. Yes, I'm not a toothpick anymore; however, I'm not hungry 24/7 anymore either!
Julianne Moore is so much more beautiful with her curves than 95% of Hollyrexia.
Her diet could use a bit of tweaking, though - a good nutritionist, and voila - no hunger, more protein, more fibre, more nutrients, and more righteously slender and healthy as a offshoot bonus. Many people spend a lot more time doing the wrong things than it would take to put in a little time and a studied scientific approach into fueling their own bodies for maximum nutrition and energy. I admire Ms. Moore's work on screen.
I look at it this way, you either take control of your life, or someone
