Zoe Saldana talks pregnancy
Zoe Saldana will give birth in eight weeks.
The ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ actress – who is expecting twin boys with husband Marco Perego – is »feeling great » but constantly hungry.
She said: »I still have a ways to go. We have maybe eight more weeks or something. I feel great.
»I’m hungry all the time! I have to say, nothing makes me happier than to see a pregnant woman eat. Especially in LA! »
Tucking into a food tray provided by ‘Late, Late Show’ host Craig Ferguson, the 36-year-old beauty insisted she hadn’t experienced any cravings during her pregnancy but had found food tastes better than ever.
She told the presenter: »You’d be surprised — I’m just hungry. It feels good. Food just tastes so delicious. It really does. It’s really good. You trick yourself, working in Hollywood, going, ‘That burger’s disgusting. A burger’s awful.’
»But now that [I’m] pregnant [I’m] like, ‘I could eat all this –together — at the same time.’
»Like, I could have the pickle with the donut and it would probably be life changing. »
And Zoe admits there is nothing she likes more than being told how »sexy » she looks with her growing baby bump.
She said: »The best thing a pregnant woman can hear is the word ‘sexy.’ It’s like, ‘Oh, you think I’m sexy? Yes! I’m sexy.’ You know?
»Usually I’m an activist and [a supporter of] women’s rights. I’m like, ‘Excuse me, do not objectify me!’ or whatever, but now that I’m pregnant, I’m kind of itching for sexy compliments. »
While she isn’t experiencing any unusual cravings, the ‘Avatar’ actress has developed an obsession with TV murder mysteries.
She said: »In the middle of the night I don’t wake up with cravings. I’ve been watching a lot of crime shows, though.
»I don’t know why. Murder mysteries. I’m solving the case and it’s like 2 o’clock in the morning because that’s one of the gifts of being pregnant — sometimes you just can’t sleep.
»So, I find myself watching ’48 Hours Mystery’ or ‘Dateline’ with Lester Holt. My husband wakes up and I’m just like, ‘He totally did it! She did it!’ »
