A year before filming began, the actress underwent “extreme” ballet, cross-training, and swimming in preparation for the role. After a year, Natalie, who stands at 5’3″, had shed 20 lbs. She said:
“I think it was just the physicality of it all that was the most extreme. I mean, I had never gotten that much training – to be doing five-to-eight hours a day of [it] was really a challenge.”
Natalie, who is a vegan, was more than happy to throw herself into the controversial role:
“I think the most important thing is coming to work as prepared as you can be every day and working as hard as you can every day. If you do that, you can always ensure that you have an amazing experience.”
As for if she would ever do it again, she said:
“I think I would do this kind of training again because it’s just so rewarding. It’s always one of those things where, when you put in a lot, you get out a lot.”
I can’t wait to see this film. I think I smell an Oscar nod…..
