Gym Yoga

“The problem with this whole endeavor, as Hahn mentions, is that Portman worked out five to eight hours a day for a year to get ready to show off her skeleton to the world. That’s because Natalie Portman’s job isn’t really to be an actress, it is to be preternaturally beautiful. The same thing goes for Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Ryan Reynolds, and Tom Cruise. They are famous people with nothing to do but diet, exercise, and tend to their bodies and they have unlimited resources and all sorts of assistance to do so. The rest of us have jobs, strange food cravings, lazy days, and incidental circumstances that keep us from the gym. There isn’t something fundamentally wrong with us, we’re just normal.”

The source article is called “The ‘Black Swan’ Diet Will Not Make You Look Like Natalie Portman” and that is an excellent point. AND SHE WENT CRAZY THE END.
