Anna Friel, the curvacious actress who stars as Charlotte, aka Chuck on Pushing Daisies is a native of England.  And even though she looks drop dead gorgeous she admits that since she has lived and worked in the US, especially in Hollywood, she has had to deal with the constant pressures she feels about the need to be rail thin.  Fortunately, she hasn’t succumbed to the pressure and she strives to maintain a healthy weight and also a healthy self image. According to the Daily Mail the actress said,

“There is pressure in Hollywood, no doubt about it. You have to watch your weight if you are an actress in this town. I’ve become much more health-conscious since being in America,”  she continues, “But I don’t want to lose any weight as I like having boobs and I’d lose them. I feel quite proud I’ve got curves. I wouldn’t like to be totally scrawny.”

Anna currently lives in Los Angeles and her newest project is a role in the film London Boulevard, a drama that also stars her husband David Thewlis, Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell.
