Ugly
Betty Gets a Natural Makeover
4/22/08
Ugly Betty star America Fererra has warned the show's producers they
might need to pad their star - because she has to lose weight to play a
runner in a new film.
The sexy Latina, who plays homely Betty on the hit show, admits her
body has already started transforming, thanks to a much needed break she
took during the winter writer's strike.
The actress, who turned 24 on Friday (18Apr08), admits a little rest
and relaxation over Christmas (07) - and the occasional trip to the gym -
gave her a hot new look.
She says, "My face looks different. My body looks different. I
definitely feel like I'm growing up."
But she insists her new film, in which she plays an avid runner, won't
effect her role in Ugly Betty.
She adds, "It's a role that calls for a completely different
physique. She's a runner in a very different emotional space, which calls
for me to make physical changes.
"(The producers of Ugly Betty) have been completely respectful of
what I want to do with my body."
