Mischa Barton asked to gain weight for role
Mischa Barton must be freaking out. The poor girl has been working herself senseless on the Pilates reformer for the last year or so and now she’s going to have to gain weight. And why? For a part! This sounds backwards by Hollywood standards, I know, but it’s a weird world out there, kids.
Mischa Barton has been told to gain weight to keep her role in a new US TV show.
Former ‘The O.C.‘ actress Mischa has agreed to pile on the pounds after producers voiced concerns she had become too skinny.
Mischa is understood to only be allowed to keep her part of Sonia, a model in ‘A Beautiful Life’, if she can keep her weight up.
A source said: “The producers are very mindful that their target audience is teenage girls so it’s important not to send the wrong message.
“Mischa has the part on condition she does not lose weight - they want her to put weight on if she can.” [Source]
The good news for Mischa is that it’s always easier to put weight back on.
