Julia Roberts’ new movie, Eat Pray Love, had her gaining a lot of weight. In fact, she went on a pizza diet. The diet, ironically, is the easiest celebrity diet out there since you just eat pizza day in and day out. And yes, she even ate while filming.
“Like in the scene with the pizza, by the time the scene is over, I’ve eaten the entire piece. When we were in Naples, we started shooting at eight in the morning, and I think by 8:45 I’d eaten eight or 10 pieces of pizza. Pizza was what I ate all day that day.” she said.
However, Julia didn’t want the audience to think that her character wasn’t gaining weight. So, to avoid that, she ate even more.
“It wasn’t like she [became] a tub. So because I started at normal weight for me, by the time we left Rome and I was seven to 10 pounds heavier, that was probably the truth of what she was dealing with. I could’ve used a bigger pair of jeans when I went off to India!” Julia said.
