Allison Williams doesn’t diet: ‘This is just the way my body is very naturally’
Allison Williams covers the December issue of Allure because she’s promoting that Peter Pan Live nonsense. Does anyone care about that? The Carrie Underwood-Sound of Music thing ended up getting great ratings, so NBC is trying to duplicate it with Allison. And… no disrespect, but I’ve never really felt the hype about this woman. She’s pretty, for sure, and I didn’t realize until now that she has gorgeous hair. But is there any “there” there? Real question. Anyway, you can see the Allure slideshow here. Some highlights:
What she shares with her ‘Girls’ character: “What I share with Marnie is that push and pull between accepting the way you’re wired, that you want your ducks in a row. And that is desperately uncool when you’re in high school and college and in your early 20s. It’s supposed to be this time where everyone’s sort of living on the edge of uncertainty and fine with it. And that’s just not where I feel comfortable.”
Addressing her weight fluctuations: “When I did the Mad Men thing, I was graduating from college—you’re college-weight. And so when we filmed the pilot for Girls and even into that first season, I looked like someone I hadn’t looked like for four years. But that’s still the way it was set in people’s minds, so they’re like, ‘Oh, my God, you’ve lost weight.’ And I’m like, ‘This is just the way my body is very naturally.’ It’s a little bit stressful to know that there are a lot of people walking around who think I’m constantly just shaking and depriving myself.”
Her biggest beauty mistake: “I cut off my hair twice. It was in high school, and a boy that I had a crush on said, ‘You’ve lost your aura.’ It was, to this day, the most offensive thing anyone’s ever said to me. And it was before extensions were everywhere, and I just had to muscle through it.”
Ha, that was the most offensive thing anyone ever said to her? That she “lost her aura” by cutting her hair?! Then she’s had a pretty amazing life, right? I say more offensive things to myself!! As for her weight loss or whatever… some people do “thin out” after college. I thinned out IN college, then I gained weight my senior year and early 20s. Everybody’s different. My guess is that she’s not crash dieting and that she probably has that natural tall-leanness.
