RADA is so removed from Real Life

Feb 27, 2010 15:00

We did a run of our badly translated playreading last night and it went surprisingly well. However thrown in with general good feedback, the director informed me solemnly that I've lost a lot of weight :-/ What? I'm sure I'd be the first to notice. But yeah, my average lunch consists of a bread roll, some melon pieces and a massive piece of cake. ( Read more... )

I always found you delightfully slim but still with some assets to be proud of. You're probably losing weight from living by yourself and all the physical intensity that is acting school. If that's the secret to being able to eat cake everyday, like, sign me up now! I suppose it's nothing to worry about because you ARE eating, right?

You're really kind, but I doubt I'll ever be happy with my shape. And with Alex suggesting the gym, I'm sort of now worried he wants me to tone up. But no, reason I was so surprised is because I really can't eat cake and get away with it!

I think that's the evil voices saying you should worry... I think he was just saying better eat more and go gym and lose weight that way than not. Which I'm sure you know is the case but evil voices say otherwise.

A lot of it is definitely the living on you own thing I'm sure.

Cake diet sound superb....but yes, as long as you are eating that's good. Maybe you've been losing weight through ::ahem:: other strenuous activities ::ahem:: ;)

I can't imagine how weird it is to see your lover kiss someone else intensely for hours and vice versa. You actors. How do you set it up in your mind to be somewhat okay with that?

Haha, well, regardless of that I'm planning on cutting out the cake this week. It'll give Alex a heartattack when I tell him... sadly, we didn't get round to strenuous activites cause he was so ill (man-flu) Generally shitty weekend all round really. And best way I can think to cope with bits of it is to control the eating lark.
Lol, it's always going to be weird. Bless, Billie Piper was on TV the other day talking about her husband Laurence Fox. And she said, "If he ever went off to work with Angelina Jolie or someone similar, I'd just assume that was it. We'd had a good run but that was it." So it's still all there but better just doing it and feeling weird than having zero chemistry on stage. It'd just be awesome to be able to kiss my man again in a script!
