Nia Vardalos Fed Up with Fat Talk

The past month, as Nia Varadlos has been promoting her new movie, My Life in Ruins, she is being constantly hounded by the media on her weight. Everyone wants to know how she lost the weight, why she lost the weight, etc.. She has finally had enough of it and decided to speak out on CNN’s AC360 blog. She wrote,

“It’s just weight. Just 40 pounds of fat now gone from my body, but wow, it’s pretty much all I get asked about. In the last year, I got to star in a movie, wrote and directed my next one, and adopted a three year old from American Foster Care. But guess what I’m asked…how did I lose the weight?”

She also referred back to weight questions while she was doing publicity for My Big Fat Greek Wedding:

“I am embarrassed to be in the position of answering questions about my body again. On the publicity tour of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I was asked over and over again, if, as the writer, I felt it was a fair depiction of real life to have someone of my er, below average looks, hook up with hottie John Corbett. It’s been years, and I have sat through many a movie like Sideways, where nobody blinks an eye when Paul Giamatti gets together with gorgeous Virginia Madsen. And, then Knocked Up…well, the visual of Seth Rogan on top of Katherine Heigl made me put the popcorn down and reach for my purse. Not because I was grossed out, but because I knew the film was about to stop and Ashton Kutcher would now jump out and go ‘Aha, you’ve been Punk’d, that would never happen.’ I waited. But no Ashton. The film went on. And many a reviewer, who probably look like sweet Seth (yes, even the women) gave it a thumbs up.”

Vardalos continues and goes on to mention the double standard in Hollywood where it seems that when men gain weight, it’s no big deal.

“So, it’s our fault. Let’s accept it and move on. Socially, the issue of men’s weight is simply not a big deal. Let’s face it: Russell Crowe is fat and no one ever talks about it. Alec Baldwin just orders his suits a size bigger and we continue to swoon.”

The 46-year-old concluded by reminding readers that she chose to lose weight because of blood sugar problems and her doctor made the recommendation to drop a few pounds. And as for being fat or thin, her is what she had to say,

“Hey, just say fat. I love the word fat. I used it in the title,” she goes on. “It’s actually not a naughty word. We give it a power it actually doesn’t have. So, you’re fat. Big deal.”

She looked haggard and way too long in the tooth in her latest role in the very disappointing My Life in Ruins wreck. Maybe she needs to gain some weight back?
