hollywoods new weight loss trend

Florence Pugh has revealed that Hollywood bigwigs told her to slim down and change the shape of her face if she wanted success in the industry.

The 26-year-old actress said she was specifically told to “lose weight” and “change the shape” of her face if she wanted to land the big roles and become a household name.

“I felt very lucky and grateful, and couldn’t believe I had landed this top-of-the-game job…” she said.

“[But] all the things they tried to change about me, whether it was my weight, my looks, the shape of my face, the shape of my eyebrows, that was so not what I wanted to do, or the industry I wanted to work in.”

The Don’t Worry, Darling star, who opened up this week about her early days in the entertainment industry, landed her first major role in 2014 film The Falling.

She went on to star in an American TV movie Studio City, but was so disappointed in her experience on the show that she feared she had made the wrong career choice.

She added to The Telegraph: “I had thought the film business would be like [my experience making] The Falling, but actually this was what the top of the game looked like, and I felt like I had a big had made a mistake.”

The new ideal has something flowing to Pilates studios.

Tara Gordon, the owner of 212 Pilates in New York City, told The Post that she has seen a continued rise in class registrations since COVID restrictions were lifted, with her class doubling in size last week as more women look for the “tall, lean , to look.”

Others are turning to more questionable lengths to shed pounds quickly with suddenly trendy diabetes drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, said to be popular with celebrities who lose weight in stock.
