Katherine Heigel on Body Image and Hollywood

by Betsy on Celebs

Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigel or on the July/August issue of Fitness First Magazine promoting their summertime romantic comedy, The Ugly Truth.  The cover story was primarily about Gerard Butler but we did get a bit of insight into Katherine’s views on body image and the influences of Hollywood.  She said,
“I don’t have a lot of discipline.  If I wasn’t in this industry I wouldn’t workout.  But I have hips and a butt and everything that goes along with that, including cellulite, so I do the best I can.When people say, ‘You have a real body’ to me, I’m like, ‘Is that a backhanded compliment?’”
As for other celebrities, here’s what she had to say:
“Kate Winslet has a fantastic body, period.  it’s far more my taste than, say, Nicole Richie’s.  You don’t have to look like that to be fashionable or hot.  I don’t condone obesity but I don’t think we all need to to be a f**king size two.  It’s a ridiculous goal.”
Katherine also gave a few words of advice:
“You know what’s important?  Living well and not being consumed with eating boring salads that you hate; eat brie, and have a glass of red wine!  Everybody has different body types, and I’m sick of this thing where we should all be little clones of one another.”
Since Katherine said that she too has cellulite she naturally said she wasn’t into doing nudity scenes in a movie:
“I think nudity [in productions] is distracting – the audience isn’t paying attention to your acting; they’re looking at your boobs.  I don’t want the whole world seeing me completely naked.  I’m flawed, I’m not perfect.  But clothes help; a good bra with some underwire definitely helps a lot!”

Kate Winslet has been a long time role model for women everywhere who don’t fit into Hollywood’s traditional ideal body, and now she’s ready to sue a UK based tabloid for claiming that she lies about her fitness habits.  The Daily Mail wrote an article titled, Should Kate Winslet Win an Oscar for the World’s Most Irritating Actress? which questioned one of Winslet’s quotes from an interview with Elle magazine where she said,

“I don’t go to the gym because I don’t have time, but I do Pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home.”
