Natalie Portman spent months training in dance studios for her role as a ballerina the film, Black Swan. But due to her training she became extremely skinny, and the director of the film, Darren Aronofsky, urged her to start eating.
Said Aronofsky:
“[Portman] took [the role] very seriously. These dancers get really, really skinny. At a certain point I looked at [her] back and she was so skinny and so… I was like, ‘Natalie, start eating.’ ├óΓé¼┼ô
He continued:
“I made sure she had a bunch of food in her trailer.”
While Natalie was completely dedicated to the diet, she was super excited to eat normal foods again once shooting ended.
“The (day after the shoot ended) I was like, pasta, pasta, pasta! No working out. It was pretty immediate. I was ready to leave the ballet life. I was like, ‘Please don’t let there be re-shoots for this because I don’t think I could get back into the costumes!'”
We can’t wait to see this movie!
