How Scarlett Johansson Got Catsuit-Ready for Iron Man 2
Of all the wonderful perks that come with being a celebrity, I have to admit that there are some ultra-challenging tasks as well. One that comes to mind is wearing a shiny Lycra catsuit on the big screen, a la Halle Berry, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jessica Alba and- now- Scarlett Johansson. Wearing such a curve-hugging ensemble certainly leaves little to the imagination.
Fortunately for stars, there are trainers to sculpt them into catsuit-perfect shape.
According to Scarlett, “It was many, many, hours, days, and months of stunt training and strength training, but it’s fun because I had a goal. The goal was the Lycra catsuit.”
According to Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau, Scarlett worked hard to get into top form.
“She didn’t eat much, that’s for sure. She likes food, as do I, and she was definitely on a low-carb diet and training very hard. It was amazing…I think people are going to be very impressed when they see her. It’s totally different than anything you’ve seen her do before.”
