“I’ve never felt the pressure, in terms of my body-shape and my own body-image, from anyone to look a certain way. For instance, I made a decision for Stargate… it was like a sick experiment… I have a fast metabolism, so I’ll see if I can Linda Hamilton myself (within reason). It requires a certain level of dedication in terms of diet and hours that you put in and I find the exercise mind-numbing. Someone once told me: ‘What’s the point of developing a bicep because the size to which some people in the gym will develop them, you’d think they needed to lift cars’. It’s purely an aesthetic thing and agenda. But I thought it’d be interesting to see what my body could do and whether I could train myself… things like going down to skimmed milk.,” she explains. “I got a free program that came with a gym membership. I got written a program and I followed it while I was in Vancouver. I did twenty to thirty minutes every couple of days and I was seeing some results. I don’t think I’d want to maintain that. I think it would be incredibly difficult and I intend to prioritise other things. I genuinely prioritise food… I love it. I have a very healthy relationship with it. I love to cook, it’s one of my most favourite things in the world. That’s why I stopped being a vegetarian – I didn’t want to serve people things I hadn’t tasted myself. After ten years of eating vegetables and tofu I found my husband-to-be and courted him through his stomach! I needed to taste it to make sure I wasn’t ruined my destiny! (laughs). His first gift to me was a recipe book with notes and hints!”
