Norah Jones was left shocked when producers of her new movie asked her to
lose weight.
The 'Don't Know Why' singer - who stars in 'My Blueberry Nights' alongside
Jude Law and Natalie Portman - never felt overweight until faced with the
producers' request.
She told Britain's Glamour magazine: "I was asked to lose a few pounds.
First I got really mad, then nervous, thinking, 'Oh no! I'm fat!' "
The 27-year-old - who made an appearance as herself in 2002 comedy 'Two
Weeks Notice' with Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock - says she now empathises
with Hollywood actresses who are under constant pressure to be thin.
She said: "It was a horrible thing to hear but I understand the game. I was
just amazed that it was really an issue, and it made me have a lot of
sympathy for really skinny actresses. I think they need to eat a
cheeseburger!"
'My Blueberry Nights' hits the screens in June.
