Mischa Barton told to pile on the pounds
Mischa Barton is embarking on a calorific diet as demanded by her latest role as “model-type” Sonia in new US TV show ‘A Beautiful Life’. Mischa has been told to gain weight to keep her role. Former ‘The O.C.’ actress, Mischa has agreed to pile on the pounds after producers raised concerns about her skinny frame.
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.”
Concerns were raised last year after the 23-year-old actress was pictured looking gaunt. She previously said she is “obsessed with Pilates”, but was quick to dismiss any concerns over her weight on her blog. She wrote:
“Just so you guys know, I’m happier and healthier than ever. I’ve just been watching what I eat. “I still love my Pilates and yoga, and have cut back on fatty foods a bit. My time in India and Paris really just helped me lose a little bit of weight but there’s nothing drastic going on.”
