Kim Cattrall's weight gain for her Meet Monica Velour role was a bargaining point between the Sex and the City actress and producers. "They asked me to gain 30 but I didn't want to make myself sick," says the 54-year-old.
"We made a deal saying I would gain 15 lbs before the film and 5 lbs during," continues Kim Cattrall. "But I did enjoy grabbing my stomach and feeling what that extra weight felt like."
Though Kim, who is also a spokesperson for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, may have enjoyed her time on the pleasantly plump side, getting the Meet Monica Velour weight to come off wasn't a cake walk.
