Tori Spelling: I Feel “Pressure” to Be Thin
Tori Spelling is speaking out about her suddenly skinny frame, saying she feels a pressure to be thin in Hollywood.
“They scrutinize you so much. You try to be the person who says, ‘Oh, I don’t care,’ but I feel the pressure,” she told Usmagazine.com Thursday at the Pull-Ups Potty Dance Party in NYC.
“You’re out there; your picture is in every magazine. They’re looking at you from every angle, no matter what you do,” she added. “You have to be careful getting out of cars now because they shoot up your skirt. Everything has to look good, and of course, there’s pressure to do so. I definitely feel it.”
Spelling — who has two kids, Stella, 1, and Liam, 23 months — said losing her baby weight “was much easier the second time. I keep saying this, but it’s true.
“I think the first time I was so stressed and knew I had to lose it. This time I did it with my family,” added the star, who credited a healthy diet and jogging with helping her shed pounds. “I didn’t do a super diet fad or a workout routine. I literally did everything with my kids and my husband. Before I knew it, [the weight] came off.”
Spelling also told Us about her first day on the set of CW’s 90210. It was “scary,” she said.
“I was so nervous and didn’t know what it was going to be like,” she told Us. “I was afraid I wouldn’t remember how to play Donna [her character].
“But I got halfway through the first scene and was like, ‘Oh, wow – there she is!’” added Spelling, whose multiple episodes begin airing Apr. 14. “She has been in me this whole time. She’s been hiding in there for 8 years and never left.”
