Despite admiring the actors who have dramatically changed weight for a movie role, Zoe Saldana would never do something like that.
Speaking to Digital Spy, she said: ”I don’t like to f**k with my body like that. I think it’s marvelous when actors do, but I know I don’t have it in me to not eat, or to over-eat. I would rather shoot myself in the foot.”
Her Guardians of the Galaxy co-star Chris Pratt lost more than 60 lbs. to play Star-Lord and Zoe respects that.
”This is not invalidating what Chris has done, he had to go through the transformation and it was a spiritual thing as well for him, and he looks fantastic,” she added.
However, as much as she applauds some actors’ efforts, Saldana fears she wouldn’t be able to get back into shape after significant change in weight.
She explained: ”I really admire actors like Christian Bale and Jared Leto who go up and down, but they’re gifted, and once they’re done with that movie they go back and look like who they are. I don’t think that would happen to me. I love Shake Shack [a fast food chain] too much, as well!”
