Hudson, who was already quite thin, lost an extra 20 pounds for her upcoming film.
The actress will play a woman suffering from terminal cancer who falls in love with her doctor, then suddenly is afraid of dying. Hudson will star opposite Gael Garcia Bernal in the flick, and filming is set to begin in January. The movie will be directed by Nicole Kassell (The Green Hour, Cold Case).
Hudson revealed that her only hope of losing the weight was giving up alcohol, but says it wasn’t easy. She explained to Elle magazine, "I love my glass of wine. I love tequila. To be in New York for two weeks and not have one beverage, I’m not sure I’ve never done that!"
The star added that she loves being a woman and feels that clothes, beauty rituals and accessories can give someone a sense of power.
