Emily Blunt has revealed that while making The Devil Wears Prada she was "watched like a hawk" to make sure she didn't over-eat.
The British star was a triumph in the American film, playing a fashion and weight-obsessed assistant to the fierce Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep.
The film does poke fun at the fashion industry and the size zero phenomenon as a whole, but Blunt has admitted she was shocked by the strict diet she was expected to follow.
She told Harper's Bazaar: "I understand why I was asked to be like that for that role, my character was surviving on cubes of cheese at one point in the movie. But you need some kind of comfort when you're on a film set all day, and mine's usually food.
"I was being watched like a hawk, but by the end I'd be sneaking in doughnuts just to annoy the producers."
Her refreshing attitude is in stark contrast to the other young actresses of Hollywood, and it appears to be appealing to those in the movie industry too, as she is reportedly poised to replace Scarlett Johansson in the Iron Man sequel.
