London,
(ANI):
Oscar-winning
actress
Julia
Roberts
has
admitted
she
struggled
eating
masses
of
pizza
and
pasta
for
her
new
film
Eat,
Pray,
Love.
The
star
admitted
while
she
enjoyed
the
eating,
after
several
takes,
the
novelty
wore
off.
"It
was
hard
on
take
10
on
a
giant
plate
of
pasta," the
Mirror
quoted
Roberts
as
telling
The
Daily
Record.
"It
is
a
challenge
and
I
love
a
good
meal
-
someone
suggested
I
had
a
spit
bucket
but
I
can't
do
that
because
it
makes
me
gag.
It
just
grosses
me
out.
I've
always
been
a
friend
of
food.
I
probably
put
on
about
seven
pounds
in
Rome
when
we
were
shooting.
I
ate
a
lot
of
pizzas
in
Naples.
It
was
just
great,"
Roberts
said.
Food-lover
Julia
asserted
she
never
felt
the
pressure
to
slim
for
the
spotlight,
since
becoming
a
star.
"That
is
a
strange
thing
that
happens.
People
get
wildly
famous
and
they
get
incredibly
slim,"
she
said.
"I
don't
know.
It
never
happened
to
me.
I
look
the
same.
I
guess
that
is
my
staying
power.
My
fighting
weight,
she
added.
Eat,
Pray,
Love
is
an
adaptation
of
Elizabeth
Gilbert's
best-selling
novel
about
an
American
woman
who
goes
travelling
to
find
herself
after
getting
divorced.
It
will
be
released
in
September
this
year.
