American actress Amy Adams, famous for winning two Golden Globe Awards, has once again grabbed the attention of movie lovers as the newly released trailer for her upcoming movie, Nightbitch, got them thinking if she really had a weight gain.
The trailer, released on September 3, 2024, shows the story of a mom who slowly realizes that as night falls, she slowly starts behaving like a dog.
Furthermore, we can see Amy, who visibly seems to be chubbier here than in her previous movies, play the lead role of the Mother.
While some believe that she used prosthetics to increase her mass, others have concluded that she did gain some weight for her role, as there are behind-the-scene pictures where Amy seems naturally plump.
Seeing her dedication, many complimented Amy Adams for her weight gain, with a Facebook user even writing, “Can’t stay young and thin forever! She’s a beautiful actress!“
Amy Adams had to gain weight for several other movies as well!
Actress Amy Adams was born on August 20, 1974, in Vicenza, Italy, which makes her 50 years old. Many fans acknowledge her for her talent and dedication to her roles, no matter how big or small they are.
While Nightbitch seems to be the reason people are talking about her weight change right now, this is not the first time such a thing has happened.
The first character to demand weight gain from Amy would be Julie Powell from Julie & Julia (2009). Talking about the experience, she shared that it was enjoyable because she got to eat as much as she wanted.
She added, “It was a byproduct, yeah, there was some weight gain, but I didn’t weigh myself, so I really don’t know.“
Similarly, another character she had to gain weight for was Giselle Phillips from Disenchanted (2022).
Comparing an old picture of Amy with her appearance in the movie, a Reddit user named u/noobishnoobtuber wrote, “Just saw her in the new Disenchanted trailer, and she’s twice as big as she is on the right [picture].“
Amy also gained 12-15 pounds for her role as Lynne Cheney in Vice (2018). She stated her weight gain was not really noticeable because Christian Bale, who played Dick Cheney in the movie, had gained 40 pounds for his role.
Contrary to her other roles, Amy had to lose weight for the role of Jodi Melville in the TV series Smallville (2001-2017), as her character was obsessed with losing weight.
The only time Amy Adams may have naturally gained weight was during her pregnancy. She shared, “Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body—meaning that it wasn’t put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit.“
