Emma Stone hasn’t worked out for a month – and she is ”proud”.
The 23-year-old ‘Spider-Man’ star admits she gets overcome by rage in the gym, so has decided that it is best to avoid it.
She said: ”I had a trainer during ‘Spider-Man’ and I discovered I have deep-seated rage when I’m holding heavy weights over my head. Whatever dormant anger I have in me, that’s where it comes out.
”That’s not the kind of working out I want to do. I would much rather sleep at night than want to throw a weight across a room at someone. I’m usually a pretty peaceful person, but for some reason when I get in the gym something bubbles up in me.”
But while she admits to being plagued by body insecurities, she had a cunning trick to disguise them.
She told Britain’s S Magazine: ”I do have that thing of, ‘Oh my God, I’m disgusting! I ate a huge Wagamama lunch, the whole yaki soba, and I feel so fat’.
”But I’m still going to eat that stuff, and you know what? You can get nice, loose clothes that cover it all up.”
She continued: ”I’m not going to go parading around in a bikini. OK, I did that in a photo shoot once, but it’s about what you’re comfortable with at the time you’re comfortable with it. That was a good day, but you won’t hear me saying I have no body issues because I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t.”
Emma also admits to gaining a few pounds thanks to the ”delicious” food on the Mississippi set of ‘The Help’.
She explained: ”Suddenly nothing fitted me, but then they have such delicious food in the South and I don’t believe in depriving yourself. Yes, you should be healthy and take care of yourself, but growing up I’ve seen people who have horrible issues with food.”
