Would you do anything for a starring role? For slender Jada Pinkett Smith, who follows a vegetarian diet, the answer is yes. Find out what she considers her craziest diet ever in this article.
"My craziest diet was for 'The Matrix,'" Jada confessed to People magazine recently. "I actually had to eat tons and tons and tons of food." Why the weight gain? "It was all about building muscle," Jada explained, noting that she had to lift an impressive "70 lbs. chest weight, and a lot of weight on my legs." Now that she's back to her normal vegetarian diet, Jada does still admit to one fattening food pleasure: She loves "McDonald's French fries."
