Mandy Moore: Size Doesn’t Matter
Monday June 25, 2007
 Marcel Thomas/FilmMagic.com How does Mandy Moore beat the pressure to be thin in Hollywood? She acts as her own role model. “Personally, if I weren’t in the public eye, I would want someone in this position to just be normal because that’s believable and that’s acceptable and there’s nothing wrong with it,” she tells Us. “This is how we’re supposed to look.” The License to Wed star stopped by the Us Weekly offices for lunch on Thursday and gabbed about her diet and exercise regime. “I feel better mentally -- even if I don’t look any different -- when I’m putting forth the effort to exercise. But having said that, it’s not going to push me away if I want to have a cookie at the end of the day. You have to reward yourself every now and then.” Moore, 23, who works with The 5-Factor Diet author Harley Pasternak, no longer gets offended when she’s asked to lose weight for a movie role. “It’s not a personal thing, it’s something that I have to do for my job: shape up a little bit.” She continued: “If I have to slim down now for a film, I don’t mind. I just look at it like I’m just changing my hair or something. If that’s what I have to do for the character, then that’s what I have to do.” That said, her devotion to her craft only goes so far. She won’t sacrifice her health for the sake of a role. “Being a young woman in this industry, there’s enough pressure, it’s hard enough as it is. I felt like, for this job, you sacrifice so much already that the last thing I want to do is make myself feel really horrible.” Join Us on Facebook and Twitter for even more up to the minute celebrity news and photos!

I think she's beautiful. She's definitely not fat. I think she's as thin as a woman needs to be. JUST RIGHT. She has a great smile, fantastic voice, gorgeous eyes. WOW! Honestly, I wish I could meet a down-to-earth woman with her type of good looks. Someone who isn't a trashy/hoochy girl. Too many of them at clubs and bars.

I want to like Mandy Moore if she was sincerely honest. When she talks about her weight and the pressure to be thin and how it doesn't matter to her, she is really covering up her insecurities about her weight. Its the same when actresses like Alba and Biel, talk about how they are not offered the serious roles, because they are only seen as a pretty face. The truth is they position themselves in that position to view only in that manner. Hollywood will always pressure their actors and actresses to be thin its the business, but once you have proven you can make millions consistently, you can be whatever weight you want.

She's beautiful and she is a great singer. Wild Hope is one my new favourite CDs. She's adorable and she may not be an Academy Award winning actress, but she's natural and believable, which is a lot harder than it looks.

I really like Mandy Moore - she seems so approachable. I also think she's got a beautiful voice. Some of her songs may be considered cheesey, but that's pretty typical for the genre that she was in when she first started. I wouldn't classify myself as a MM fan...wouldn't classify myself as anyone's fan, actually, but if I lived in Hollywood with all the vanity, back stabbing and self-promoting social climbers, I'd want to try and hang out with Mandy to get away from all that. She seems to be very down to earth and unaffected, which is very refreshing in today's society that likes to glorify scantily clad, drug abusing "starlets".

Stacie - once again, I agree with you. I can't understand why people would hate on her. Is she the most talented actress/singer in Hollywood? Not in my eyes. But can't we all agree at the very least she's respectable in comparison to her competition? The other thing I love about all us bloggers are those that complain that celebrities always saying the same things in interviews. Um, ahem, don't blame the celebrities!! They are only answering the questions they are asked. I'm sure we'll be hearing alot more of Mandy Moore talking about her weight and body image. That's because it's an issue every interviewer will ask her about while she's on a mad PR tour for her movie, album and reality show. She's isn't your average 100lb, club hopping starlet, therefore interviews will always focus on whatever makes her different and unique. I just realized the sadness of what I'm writing. A curvy figure and a healthy body image of a celbrity, makes them unique? Yikes. What is the world coming to.

Why is it that when a young, beautiful, talented and MODEST young women has a very good article about her shown in good light, does everyone feel the need to attack her? Don't you want a great role model for young girls? She is great in many ways, but because she's not a bad girl, druggie, partyer, or all out snob due to her celebrity, then she's not good enough??!!??? WTF??? You haters are carazy!!!

She is a really good role model. She is not like some of the girls who do nothing but party, get drunk, and go to rehab. She's real and she is not afraid to show that you don't have to be skinny, on drugs, drinking underage, going to rehab over and over again to be a celebrity.

i don't know why people have to criticize her, i admire the fact that she doesn't starve herself to death to be known, she is attractive and talented and most of all she has a great reputation which most actresses/singers today don't have they are always either drugged up, drunk or in rehab, i admire mandy moore!
