Hunger Games’ hearing preparation of Alyson Stoner sent it to the weight loss camp
Alyson Stoner, the former child actor and adolescent of “Chareter by the Dozen” and “Camp Rock” which also had an acclaimed career as a dancer in the films “Step Up” and various clips of Missy Elliot, publishes this month on the ups and downs of his Hollywood career. In a new extract published by Vanity Fair, she reveals the brutal diet and the exercise diet that she inflicted in the middle of a food disorder to win the role of Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games”.
“Katniss was the ultimate role and the main ultimate female role: focused on the goal, sharp, athletic and, fortunately, a heroine whose capacities were more important than physical beauty. But the role was to play with fire for me,” writes Stoner. “Katniss was characteristic to be thin – no hunger, but small enough to reflect growth in an underlying district – and muscular hunting and archery. If I were to devote myself to the verification of each box of the description of the character, I had to engage in a painful formation without succumbing completely to my food disorder.”
Stoner admits as a Disney teenager star as a headliner “The Hunger Games” was a “long blow”, but she kept hope because he was not too “unrealistic for a director to pick an unexpected person from the crowd and make them a star either”.
At 17, Stoner was approved to attend a world -renowned medical weight loss camp “to help him enter the form of Katniss Everdeen even if she was already radically insufficient. The program included “two weeks of seven hours of daily exercise on a calorie deficit”.
“I did not recognize the irrational exceptions that doctors (and society) made for Hollywood, because that was all I knew,” wrote Stoner. “Even at 10 years old, I had to get a medical physique before flying to the film” cheaper by the dozen “, and a doctor referred from the industry discovered a whisper of heart. By sharing that I had vertigo spells and power outages, it did not mark anything in my file because it could prevent the production company from letting you work. “I followed the doctor’s orders and ignored the murmur as he did, deducting that Hollywood must exist above medicine, above the law, and even above common sense. »»
“Doctors and coaches should never have allowed a minor in weight insufficiency to do seven hours of fourteen thousand hikes, hard-lasting hard and high-intensity cardio,” she continued her “Hunger Games” hearing preparation. “But all I had to say was that I was training for an actor role. They evaluated me as mentally stable and opened the door. Then, the days of leave, I took myself (and all my mental stability) in a neighboring forest to build tactical prowess like Katniss. ”
The brutal preparation process that Stoner put himself through him when she did not win the role. She reveals in the memory that she was the last actor to audition for Katniss. While he was told to prepare three scenes from the script, we were cut in the hearing room. She was quickly precipitated from the play without any comments after finishing reading and waited for the days to make the news arrived when her “body entered hunger and shouted for the calories”.
“After a week [of waiting to find out]I tilted in front of the edge of deprivation in an emergency alarm of the whole body for food, “writes Stoner.” I went to approach slowly from the pantry. I offer a modest amount of peanut butter on salt crackers. 350 calories will be good to add. But I was hungry. An hour later, I rationed a packet of instant oat flour without sugar and added protein powder. This should be sufficient. My growled stomach for more.
Stoner ended up entering a complete frenzy, lowering a “pint of ice cream from the rear of the freezer” and “Louping Down Chips, Pop-Corn, Chocolate Bars, and everything that was at hand until my jaw was too painful to chew. With unbuttoned pants, I finished the biggest frenzy of my life and faded in the pants on the couch. ”
“Twelve hours later, I woke up with revolting migraine and lethargy. In one way or another, I always wanted sugar. But before I could think of spoiling another day, I had to face the self-inflicted damage from the previous night, ”she continues. “You are probably increasing with three pounds, but it is your fault and you will have to repair it. When I went up on the scale, I rubbed my eyes with disbelief. What am I retained each body.
Shortly after, the call came from the “The Hunger Games” team informing Stoner that she did not get the role of Katniss Everdeen. She concluded: “I sat on my bed with vacant eyes and a distant spirit. I didn’t know what to do with myself. ”
The memories of Stoner, “semi-pits adjusted despite everything,” published on August 12. Go to the Vanity Fair website to read the extract “The Hunger Games” in its entirety.
