OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Manganiello has to remind people he is not a professional stripper.
The 40-year-old actor starred as a stripper in the steamy ‘Magic Mike’ movies, and Joe has revealed he is frequently asked to recreate some of the X-rated scenes from the films by members of the public.
The actor shared: “People always ask me to demonstrate my ‘Magic Mike’ moves for them.
“I have to tell them I’m not actually a stripper. But that’s the fun thing about acting – doing something that really isn’t you.”
In real life, Joe is married to ‘Modern Family’ actress Sofia Vergara, and has revealed he travelled across America to go on his first date with the 44-year-old beauty shortly after learning she was single.
Joe, who married Sofia in 2015, told the April issue of Cosmopolitan UK magazine: “I was on a press tour when I found out Sofia was single [after splitting from Nick Loeb].
“My friend is an editor, and told me she was about to make the announcement. I got her number from Jesse Tyler Ferguson [Sofia’s ‘Modern Family’ co-star], then flew to New Orleans to take her on a date.”
And Joe marked the couple’s first wedding anniversary in November 2016 by writing a book for the curvaceous actress.
The book detailed the couple’s dating history and the Hollywood hunk admitted he’s still madly in love with Sofia.
He explained: “I wrote her a book as a gift for our first anniversary. It was about how we met, as well as our courting, and was about 40 pages long … I love my wife a lot.”
Last month, Sofia called Joe her “Hindu monk”, admitting he has brought a “profound calm” to her.
She said: “Joe is very spiritual and deals with everything very well. I call him my Hindu monk. I’m all, ‘Aaaaaaaaahhhhh’ and he’s like … nothing.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Olly Murs felt like an “idiot” after he was overlooked for a BRIT Award.
The 32-year-old singer-songwriter pulled out of performing at the BRIT nominations launch party in February after finding out his album ’24 Hrs’ had been snubbed, and Olly has now admitted the disappointment ruined his recent holiday.
He shared: “I got a phone call while I was on holiday with my mates saying the bad news is I wasn’t nominated. I was thinking, ‘Great, cheers, thanks for ruining my holiday’.
“But they still wanted me to perform at the launch and I was the only artist that was going to be performing that wasn’t nominated. I just felt a little bit like an idiot.
“It was like being in the playground and being the one that didn’t get picked at the end.”
Despite this, Olly insisted there is no lingering animosity between himself and the event organisers, revealing he explained his viewpoint to them at the time.
Olly also admitted he still hopes to realise his long-held ambition of winning a BRIT Award one day.
He told The Sun newspaper: “I’ve spoken to the leader – look, I spoke to someone and they were cool about it.
“This is not going to stop me from doing what I love. It doesn’t diminish my dream that hopefully one day I will win a BRIT. I still want to.”
Meanwhile, Olly previously claimed that any other artist in his position would have also refused to perform.
He said: “If any other artist was in that position, that had been around as long as me and had success, they’d have done the same thing.
“There’s no doubt I’m not gutted not to get a nomination, it’s what everyone wants because it’s the biggest award in music in the UK. so I am 100 percent disappointed – but congratulations to everyone else.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Melanie C doesn’t think Victoria Beckham suited her Posh Spice nickname.
The Spice Girls – which also included Melanie B, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell – were all given nicknames on the back of a Top Of The Pops magazine story in 1996, but Mel believes Victoria’s showbiz moniker was the least appropriate.
She said: “That is probably the one which rings the least true.”
On the other hand, she claimed that Mel B’s Scary Spice nickname was the most appropriate.
Mel – who was known as Sporty Spice during her time with the girl group – explained: “Scary makes sense. She is petrifying. I remember at times being on tour, and I am sure everyone has people in their lives when they hear their footsteps coming down the corridor you cower – that is how scary she can be. I love her.”
She admitted, too, that Emma’s Baby Spice nickname was similarly accurate on account of her being the youngest member of the record-breaking band.
Mel told BBC Satellite radio: “She is the youngest, and she will always be the youngest and the baby. It is quite nice.”
By contrast, she claimed that Geri’s name Ginger Spice has become increasingly less relevant over time.
Mel said: “She is not the bright ginger she was back in the day, there is definitely some red tones.”
And in regards to her own nickname Sporty Spice, Mel admitted it has always been something she has taken as a compliment.
The 43-year-old star – whose real name is Melanie Chisholm – shared: “Obviously one of the great things is that we had our individuality and it appealed to so many different kinds of girls. But my nickname came more from the way I dressed.
“It was just a silly thing in the front of a magazine, and I don’t suppose that the person who thought it up knew it would stick. In America they didn’t know our names.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul Burrell is to marry his male partner of 10 years.
The 58-year-old former royal aide – who was famously described by the late Princess Diana as her “rock” when he served as her butler – officially divorced wife Maria nine months ago after 32 years of marriage, and he has now revealed he is gay and planning to tie the knot with his lover Graham Cooper next month.
A spokesperson for Paul told The Sun newspaper: “I can confirm their forthcoming marriage.”
Paul – who was believed to have been living apart from Maria for several years before they formally split – and Graham are former business partners and kept their relationship under wraps for several years, with the former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ contestant only recently telling his adult sons Alex and Nick.
But friends are delighted the news is now out in the open.
A source said: “He’s so much happier now that he can tell the world and be comfortable with himself and his relationship.”
And the insider claimed Paul kept his sexuality a “closely-guarded secret” for a long time, and the first person he confided in was the princess, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997.
The source said: “Paul’s friends and family all know but for a long time he kept it a closely guarded secret.
“And for a time, literally nobody knew.
“He did share it with Diana while he worked with her because they were so close.
“But at the time she was the only woman he felt he could tell.”
Paul and Graham celebrated their impending nuptials with a joint stag party at a drag club in Blackpool, North West England, and will tie the knot in a circus-themed ceremony in the Lake District.
A source said they have invited a “limited” number of guests to witness the nuptials, which will take place at a five-star hotel with “stunning views”.
The insider added: “They want to let their hair down and enjoy themselves. Guests have a rough idea of where it will take place.
“But to increase the suspense Paul and Graham have kept the exact details of the venue quiet.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Azealia Banks has failed to turn up for a court hearing for allegedly biting a female nightclub bouncer’s breast.
The controversial rapper was scheduled to appear at a court session in New York City on Monday (06.03.17) in relation to the incident in 2015, when she is alleged to have attacked a nightclub bouncer after being denied entry to the Up&Down nightspot in Manhattan.
But rather than appearing in court, the outspoken rapper sent a note to her lawyer, according to the New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column.
The note read: “I can be back tomorrow if the court needs it.”
As a result of Azealia’s failure to appear in court, the controversial musician has been issued with a bench warrant, otherwise known as a failure-to-appear or FTA by the judge.
The ‘212’ hitmaker became embroiled in the row after she was denied entry to the club because she she did not have the correct entry stamp.
Azealia, 25, was told she could get the entry stamp from upstairs, but things took an unpleasant turn when she came across two bouncers – one male and one female – who said they didn’t recognise the musician.
And despite her best efforts to explain who she was, the ensuing argument turned physical as the bouncers escorted Azealia from the premises.
As this was happening, Azealia is accused of biting the female bouncer while screaming at the top of her voice.
The incident in New York City came shortly after Azealia was involved in a physical confrontation with a bouncer at the Break Room 86 in Los Angeles, when she was asked to leave the club on account of her unruly behaviour.
The clash was captured on CCTV cameras, but the Los Angeles City Attorney ultimately rejected the case due to a lack of evidence.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jourdan Dunn says modelling makes her “emotional”.
The 26-year-old star admits it can be tough working in the fashion industry as it is long hours and extremely tiring.
She said: “I say that every show season it can be a lot and you’re travelling and it takes a lot out of you and I get emotional when I’m tired and hungry and rushed up and down.
“Fashion weeks are only two months out of the year and I can go back to my usual routine and try and be in the moment.”
And Jourdan used to turn to psychics for advice and support but has now decided to “live her life and see what happens”.
She added: “I do believe heavily in psychics and things. There was a time when I was seeing them and depending on them and living my life through them and now I’m at a stage where I’m going to live my life and see what happens and trust myself.”
Jourdan has been lucky to mingle with the stars as says her “biggest showbiz moment” was going to a New Year’s Eve party with Beyoncé and Jay Z.
She shared: “Getting invited to celebrate New Year’s Eve with Beyoncé and Jay Z was my biggest showbiz moment.
“Also celebrating her birthday last year – So a personal invite for me that was just amazing.”
When she’s not partying with Beyoncé, Jourdan is a doting mother to her seven-year-old son Riley, who suffers from sickle cell anaemia.
She told the MailOnline: “My son got diagnosed with [the condition] when I was six months pregnant and we just realised over the years it’s about prevention over cure and it was a shock. All the things doctors said he couldn’t do – like swimming and karate – he’s done. It’s about keeping their immune system strong, so lots of sleep and the right diet and taking the right vitamins which is what I do so we want to find a cure.
“I’m very fortunate to have the amazing support system. I have like my mum and my agent. My mum said to me, when I go back to work she’ll be here to help me every step of the way. She put herself out there and she truly helped me and put my mind at ease.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Watson uses public hair oil all over her body.
The ‘Beauty and the Beast’ actress is a huge fan of Fur Oil, a product designed to give “soft hair, clear skin, and smooth stubble” in intimate areas, but she’s happy to extend its use to her eyebrows, the hair on her head and “anywhere” else she feels needs it.
She said: “I use Fur Oil. I’ll use that anywhere from the ends of my hair to my eyebrows to my pubic hair. It’s an amazing all-purpose product.”
And the 26-year-old beauty admitted there are other beauty practices she has to undertake that people still feel “shame” about, such as bleaching the soft hair that grows over her top lip.
She told Into the Gloss: “I was just talking to my friend before this about how in the Instagram era it’s so easy to edit your life so that it looks perfect. But I bleach my top lip and tweeze my eyebrows and you’d never get to see that, even though it’s a part of my routine.
“There’s still so much shame around the things you do to get ready while you’ve got a towel wrapped around your head. It’s important to me not to edit that out. I’ve been bleaching my top lip since I was nine. I don’t do it very often, but I do it!”
Emma tries to take a bath every day to relax and if she could, she’d happily climb in the tub more often.
She said: “I have a bath every single day of my life. And if I can have two or three – amazing. Nothing terrible is going to happen in the bath, so I always find time for that. I’ll take phone conversations in the bath, anything.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Sheeran says drinking and smoking in “moderation” has helped him shed the pounds.
The ‘Castle on the Hill’ hitmaker – who returned to the spotlight in December – put on weight during his year-long hiatus, but says the key to his weight loss has been eating healthier and reducing the amount of booze and nicotine he consumes by “70 percent”.
Speaking about the changes he’s made to get fitter, he told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I chain-smoked. I drunk a lot of alcohol and ate very unhealthy and I just kind of cut 39 percent if that out.
“I still do all those things, but my dad said, ‘Everything in moderation’. I just basically needed to moderate.”
Avoiding alcohol can’t be easy for the the flame-haired hunk as he recently revealed he’s built a pub inside his Suffolk mansion.
He said: “I’ve built a pub. Like, I had a bar before, a bar where you could pour beers but now this has like a selection of beers, which is cool.
“So, basically, there’s an underground tunnel to get there that you can close off. So if I have a party, everyone goes in the pub and no one can get in the house so you get no one raiding the cupboards or smashing anything. You have to go underground to get to the pub.”
However, the 26-year-old singer also believes exercising for just 10 minutes a day contributed to him losing almost 50lbs.
And he thanks his hockey player girlfriend Cherry Seaborn for helping him devise a high intensity workout plan, which made the weight fall off quickly.
He previously shared: “I didn’t realise how active I was on tour.
“My diet was pizza and beer, but because I was doing two hours a night I was really in shape.
“I stopped touring and carried on my diet of pizza and beer. Suddenly I didn’t fit in anything.
“I was like, ‘All my clothes have shrunk’.
“I did ten minutes a day without fail – intervals of 30 seconds sprinting and 30 jogging.
“The key is to not miss a day, so you don’t have to do an hour.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Minogue has hinted that she is going to address her split from her ex-fiancé Joshua Sasse on her new album.
The 48-year-old pop beauty called time on her romance with the 29-year-old actor last month, and is planning to channel the “interesting few months” she’s had following their break up into her music.
Speaking at the launch of her Specsavers eyewear range at the Establishment hotel in Sydney, she said: “It has been an interesting few months, but fantastic for moving forward creatively.
“I fee like I just want to spread the love and that is what the album is going to be about.”
The ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ hitmaker – whose last studio release was 2015’s ‘Kylie Christmas’ – recently confirmed she has signed a new deal with BMG records for her new album, and she is thrilled to be working with a label that feels “right”.
She said: “It feels like it has been a while and I am signed with a new label with fantastic, fantastic fresh new energy.
“I know what I want to do – I know it’s the right partnership.”
The blonde beauty has been in the studio hard at work on her new album and previously admitted it has been invigorating.
She said: “I’ve already started work on my new album. It’s been so rewarding and such a good tonic to be back in the studio.
“It’s my 30th year in the music industry, so I now draw on a lot of experience, but at the beginning of the recording process, and with a new label, it feels fresh and very exciting and I can’t wait to finish it and share it with everyone.”
Kylie and Joshua got engaged in February 2016 and had been planning their nuptials in the latter half of the year, although they vowed to only tie the knot once same-sex marriage was legalised in her native Australia.
At the height of their romance, Kylie had described herself as being on “cloud nine” because of Joshua.
Over the years, the ‘Spinning Around’ hitmaker has been unlucky in love.
Her previous boyfriends include her former ‘Neighbours’ co-star Jason Donovan, late INXS rocker Michael Hutchence, French actor Olivier Martinez and Spanish model Andrés Velencoso.

OHMYGOSSIP — Olly Murs fancies Katy Perry.
The 32-year-old pop star has admitted to being attracted to the ‘Roar’ hitmaker and revealed he’d like to date Katy following her recent split from actor Orlando Bloom.
He confessed: “I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for farting, do you know what I mean?”
However, Olly – who split from property manager Francesca Thomas in 2015 – also admitted he is attracted to British soap actress and model Gemma Atkinson.
He told The Sun newspaper: “I used to have posters of Gemma on my wall. I’ve met her only once. It’s funny when you meet people when you are 20, 21 … I was looking at her going, ‘Phwoar, she’s well fit’.”
Meanwhile, Olly has revealed he is frequently inundated with requests to sing at weddings.
But the chart-topping pop star said he rarely gets to attend his friends’ nuptials because they fear his fame will overshadow their big day.
He explained: “Sometimes I don’t even get invited to my mates’ weddings.
“I understand it. I want to go to my mates’ wedding and sit in the background and enjoy it like everyone else, but people get annoyed.
“I can’t even go to a wedding and dance on the dance floor without someone thinking I’m trying to get attention.
“Whereas I’m just there to have a good time like everyone else.”
Despite his outgoing nature, Olly insisted he is not interested in overshadowing the groom on his big day.
He said, too, that the misguided perception of his personality and the consequences of it is something that bothers him.
Olly reflected: “It does play on your mind.
“People think I’m trying to be an attention-seeker – but I’m not.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lily Collins has forgiven her father Phil for “not being the dad I expected”.
The 27-year-old actress and model has spoken candidly about her relationship with the 66-year-old singer-songwriter in an open letter, saying she has forgiven him for being absent at crucial moments in her life.
In Lily’s debut book, ‘Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me’ – excerpts of which are published in the Daily Mail newspaper – she explains: “I forgive you for not always being there when I needed and for not being the dad I expected.
“I forgive the mistakes you made. And although it may seem like it’s too late, it’s not. There’s still so much time to move forward.”
Lily, whose mother is Phil’s second wife Jill Tavelman, revealed she has learned how to “accept” her father’s perceived failings as a parent.
She wrote: “We all make choices and, although I don’t excuse some of yours, at the end of the day we can’t rewrite the past.
“I’m learning how to accept your actions and vocalise how they made me feel. I accept and honour the sadness and anger I felt toward the things you did or didn’t do, did or didn’t give me.”
Meanwhile, the Golden Globe-nominated actress has also discussed her battle with anorexia and bulimia – which she claimed was tied to Phil’s divorce from his third wife Orianne Cevey.
Phil, who has four more children, was married to Orianne from 1999 until 2008.
Reflecting on the impact of their split, Lily shared: “Not only did I start viewing myself differently physically, but I began limiting my happiness by controlling my eating habits.
“I couldn’t handle the pain and confusion surrounding my dad’s divorce, and I was having a hard time balancing being a teenager with pursuing two different grown-up careers.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The late ‘Ravishing’ Rick Rude is to be inducted into the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame.
The late professional wrestler – who passed away in 1999 from heart failure at the age of 40 – will be awarded the honour posthumously, alongside the likes of fellow 2017 inductees Kurt Angle, Beth Phoenix, and Diamond Dallas Page.
Rick will be inducted by his former rival Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat, who was an inductee himself in 2009 and who dubbed the late star as “an all-round package”.
Speaking about Rick’s upcoming induction, Steamboat said: “If you looked at all the boxes you would check to make a main event guy that would go down in history as one of the best, Rude checked all the boxes.
“He was an all-around package. He looked good, he could play the part, he knew what to do. He could take great bumps, feed the baby face when it was time to feed, and he would never run out of gas.”
And whilst Steamboat is still working on the details of the speech he will give at the ceremony on March 31 in Orlando, Florida, he said “It will be heartfelt, with a lot of truisms.”
Rick rose to prominence within the wrestling community in 1987 when he first signed with WWE and joined Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan’s stable of villains.
The star was known for his chiselled physique, and would famously talk down to the men in the audience and flirt with the women.
Steamboat told Bleacher Report of Rick’s actions: “Even as arrogant and womanising as he was, the women thought to themselves, ‘Oh, this guy’s a real hunk.’ But Rude could diminish all that with what he’d say or a gesture. There were just a few guys in the business who had that ability and knew how to do it.”
Rick’s in-ring career came to an end in 1992 after he suffered a back injury, and moved into non-physical roles such as commentating.
He was also involved with both the D-Generation X and New World Order wrestling stables and after leaving WWE in favour of rivals WCW in the battle for ratings in 1997, ended up appearing on the taped ‘Raw’ and the live ‘Nitro’ on the same night.
Rick Rude will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on March 31 2017.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ruby Rose is in an “amazing position” in her relationship with Jess Origliasso.
The 30-year-old actress began dating The Veronicas singer and guitarist in November last year when they reconnected whilst filming the music video for Jess’ single ‘On Your Side’ after having previously dated in 2008, and Ruby admits that whilst they have their “ups and downs”, she believes their relationship is “wonderful”.
Speaking on Australian radio station KIIS FM’s ‘The Kyle and Jackie O Show’ on Tuesday (07.03.17), the ‘Orange Is The New Black’ star said: “Everybody in life can relate to the fact that things can go amazingly and there can be ups and downs. Every single down is just to make you a stronger person or to make you fight for what you want. Everything really is wonderful. I am in such an amazing position.”
Meanwhile, the ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’ actress recently gushed that her 32-year-old musician girlfriend is “wonderful”.
She said: “She is the most amazing person. We just jam every night. We just play music and sing and cook dinner, and she’s amazing. She’s wonderful.
“She’s always such a [source of] moral support for me and a moral compass.”
And Ruby – who is gender-fluid – also recently opened up about her desire to have children in the future, and said she’s happy she didn’t act on her past thoughts of having gender reassignment surgery.
She admitted: “All I wanted was a boy’s name growing up – Charlie, Billie, Max, Frankie. You just know my mum wanted a girly girl princess!
“Everyone had Barbies; I had ninja turtles and Superman… I was crazy about Archie comics. I played footie with the boys.
“I’m a woman… I want to have babies one day, so I’m glad I didn’t make changes earlier in my life.”
Ruby is still unsure whether she wants to get married in the future, but if she does, she doesn’t think she’d feel comfortable in a traditional wedding gown.
Asked if she wants to tie the knot, she said: “I don’t know. Can you imagine? Ruby Rose in a white floor-length gown and her Hells Angels tattoos?
“[Wear a suit instead?] Exactly. Like Annie Lennox or Karl Lagerfeld. That’s me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chance The Rapper will donate $1 million to public schools in Chicago.
The 23-year-old rapper – who grew up in the city – raised the funds through ticket sales for his upcoming tour in order to help give children a “quality learning experience”, and said the money came as a “call to action” for other companies operating in Chicago who he urged to follow in his footsteps.
Speaking at a press conference held at Wescott Elementary School on Monday (06.03.17) the ‘No Problem’ musician – real name Chancellor Bennett – said: “I’m committed to help Chicago’s children have quality learning experiences that include the arts. As an artist and after-school teacher, I know the arts are invaluable. They teach kids lessons about how small efforts can have big effects and how collaboration can lead to creativity. This cheque is a call to action. I’m challenging major companies in Chicago and across the U.S. to donate and take action.”
The ‘Cocoa Butter Kisses’ rapper went on to state he was “doing everything [he] can to support Chicago’s most valuable resource, its children.”
At present, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has a $215 million funding gap, and Chance is imploring corporations and celebrities to come together to help donate whatever they can to the cause.
The rapper also announced for every $100,000 donated to CPS, his organisation SocialWorks will give $10,000 to a school of their choosing to be used on developing their arts departments and after school activities.
Chance continued in his speech, which he broadcast live via a Periscope link shared to his Twitter: “As a private citizen, as a parent, and as a product of CPS, I ask that you guys join and fight with me. Organise with me, mobilise with me, in the interest of the children of Chicago. This is the beginning.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Watson says the ‘Harry Potter’ cast keep in touch via a “WhatsApp chat”.
The 26-year-old actress starred as Hermione Granger in the popular fantasy film franchise, and has said her cast mates – including Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint – still keep in contact with one another.
Speaking at the Hollywood premiere of her newest venture ‘Beauty and the Beast’ – in which she plays Belle – Emma said: “We actually have a group WhatsApp which invited everyone really from the main cast from ‘Harry Potter’ to come to the screening. It’s a case of trying to, like, get people into the right places, but yeah, everyone has been very supportive and I’m very supported by my old co-stars.”
And Emma also admitted that taking on the role of Belle was harder than playing Hermione, because she was more aware of “bringing to life” people’s childhoods this time around.
She added to ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “Playing Hermione when I was a child … was kind of an ‘ignorance is bliss’ factor a little bit. Now as an adult, I knew I was bringing to life … part of people’s childhoods, and I kind of knew what that was.”
Previously, Emma turned down the opportunity to star in Disney’s ‘Cinderella’, but accepted the role of Belle because she could see certain similarities between herself and her on-screen character.
She explained: “I didn’t know they were going to make ‘Beauty And The Beast’ at the time I turned down ‘Cinderella’.
“But when they offered me Belle, I just felt the character resonated with me so much more than Cinderella did. She remains curious, compassionate and open-minded. And that’s the kind of woman I would want to embody as a role model, given the choice.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Schumer “feels sexy” despite being “what Hollywood calls very fat”.
The 35-year-old comedian has revealed she doesn’t feel “cute” when she slims down, and feels “strong and healthy” in her own skin, regardless of what people tell her about her body.
Speaking in her upcoming Netflix special ‘Amy Schumer: The Leather Special’ – an excerpt of which was obtained by People – due to be released on Tuesday (07.03.17), she said: “I’m what Hollywood calls, very fat. Before I did anything, somebody like explained to me, ‘Just so you know, Amy, no pressure, but if you weigh over 140 lbs., it will hurt people’s eyes. And I was like [‘Okay.’] I just bought it. I was like, ‘Okay, I’m new to town. So I lost weight.
“I look very stupid skinny. My dumb head stays the same size but then my body, like, shrivels and just look like a, like a Thanksgiving Day parade [balloon] of Tonya Harding. Nobody likes it. It’s not cute on me.
“I got worried because it gets in your head – just everything on television and movies and magazines and the internet. All the women are just beautiful little skeletons with tits … I’m like, ‘Oh, my god! Are men still going to be attracted to me?’ And that’s when I remembered … they don’t care.
“I feel very good in my own skin. I feel strong. I feel healthy. I do. I feel sexy.”
Meanwhile, Amy previously revealed she was told at her first audition that she should either lose weight or put on a lot of weight so she could be cast in the role of the “fat friend”.
She said: “At my first audition when I was 21, they were like, ‘You should either lose weight or gain a bunch of weight, like be the fat friend or the romantic lead.’ Can you believe they said this? But I feel like more than other people saying it, it’s a self-inflicted thing. We put pressure on ourselves and hold ourselves to this unrealistic standard …
“I want to throw my hands in the air after reading a mean Twitter comment and say, ‘Alright! You got it. You figured me out. I’m not pretty. I’m not thin. I do not deserve to use my voice … All my self-worth is based on what you can see.’ But then I think f*** that.”
