So just how did Scarlett Johansson shape up for her upcoming role in Iron Man 2? "I kicked some major butt," the actress, 24, told PEOPLE magazine at Comic-Con of her workout routine to make her a fit superhero ready for acrobatic battle scenes. "It was many, many, hours, days, and months of stunt training and strength training, but it's fun because I had a goal. The goal was the Lycra catsuit."
Was she happy with the results? "Finally I was, yes," she said with a laugh. "You put that much work into something and you put it on and you better be happy with it."
When it came to putting on the catsuit, "It was crazy to see it for the first time – everything all zipped up and all the weapons in there, bracelets on, the whole look. It was pretty sweet, I have to say," she says.
As for the impression it made, "Certainly walking on set, because a lot of the people that worked on the film were fans of the comic and of course they knew the Black Widow – they were all super excited to see the Black Widow," she says. "When everybody in the crew were like, 'That looks awesome!' I knew. Like, 'Okay.' "
"She was wearing an unforgiving costume," agreed Johansson's Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau. "She didn't eat much, that's for sure. She likes food, as do I, and she was definitely on a low-carb diet and training very hard. It was amazing."
I think it's safe to say when the role is over, Scarlett will begin to enjoy food again. She is known for having womanly curves and she's not afraid to labeled as one of the more shapely actresses in La-La land. Although Iron Man 2 doesn't open until May 10, 2010, you can see Scarlett's hot body in most tabloid magazines.
Train to look like a Superhero just like Scarlett!
It's statistically proven that those who succeed at losing weight will most likely gain it back. Bummer, I know. This rule of thumb didn't seem to apply to celebrities. Once they become ultra skinny, the make it seem like they need to try even harder to gain weight back. Uhhhhh, sure Nicole Richie, keep telling yourself that...
However, instead of a celebrity skinny anorexia watch, I feel like lately the paparrazzi has been on a "Who gained what where watch." Just recently, I featured a picture of Janet Jackson who seemed to gain most of the weight she had lost back. I say give the girl a break, who cares. Obviously she was on a diet, and never adopted a healthy lifestyle, as we here at Diet.com try to infiltrate.
Laguna Beach alum Kristin Cavalleri seen here on the beach this past week in a bikini shows off her little beer belly. I genuinely like Kristin for this picture. She isn't trying to be too strict with herself. She clearly eats and liked to go out, and is enjoying her 15 minutes, why waste it as a miserable person who lives at a gym and counts every carrot. She has a good body but she has gained a few in the belly since the last time we saw her in a bathing suit. Maybe she just got caught without her signature move, sucking it in!
Another celebrity known for her weight ups and downs is Beyonce. This recent photo looks like B. is embracing her curves once again. The famous detox/liquid juice faster praised the results of her Dream Girls diet, but admitted it was not something she could maintain. Ya think? This picture should be side by side with every endorsement for that ridiculous diet. "Lose Weight for a Month, gain back double in a year."
Here's another favorite of mine, Scarlett Johansson. This picture also looks like she has gained a few.
