eight
hours
a
day
in
dance
training
to
make
her
portrayal
believable.
“I
injured
a
rib,
I
like
dislocated
a
rib,
it
sort
of
went
under
another
one,
when
you
get
lifted
it
just
sort
of
went
under.
When
I
got
injured
I
called
the
producer,
I
was
like
'could
you
get
the
medic?
I
need
an
ice
pack
or
something
right
now,''
and
he
was
like,
'Oh,
we
don"t
have
a
medic
because
it's
super
low
budget"," the
Sun
quoted
her
as
telling
David
Letterman.
“I
have
been
working
for
like
twenty
years,
I
don't
even
think
that''s
legal.
I
was
like
before
you
take
away
a
medic,
take
away
my
trailer
and
the
next
day
I
didn't
have
a
trailer,
I
swear
to
God!"
she
added.
Natalie
also
informed
she
lost
a
fair
bit
of
weight
for
the
role.
“The
Darjeeling
Limited
star
said,
“I
think
I
lost
like
20
pounds,
I
mean
I'm
5ft
3in
so
it
was
pretty
extreme.
I
mean
I
am
back
at
my
healthy
weight
now,
I
like
eating
so
I
waited
until
the
very
end
to
do
the
diet
part,"
she
concluded.
