Drew Barrymore got so nervous portraying an historic figure in her upcoming film Grey Gardens she couldn’t eat.
The actress – who plays Edith Bouvier Beale in the movie adaptation of the Grey Gardens documentary – says she lost so much weight during her time as the American socialite, the director ordered her to start munching on chocolate.
Drew explains, “I lost a lot of weight because I was so nervous I couldn’t eat, and I lost like 10 pounds.
“I try to lose 10 pounds and I can’t. Ironically, he needed me to gain 10 pounds and I could not get food down my throat. I was so uptight and freaked out all the time.”
