Health magazine cover girl and “Mom” star Anna Faris says she was not asked to slim down after winning the job on her CBS sitcom.
“One of the great things … is that when we did the pilot, I was a little heavier … but I never felt any pressure from [creator] Chuck Lorre or CBS to be fit,” she says in the magazine’s April issue, on newsstands this Friday. “Sometimes, studios are kind of delicate the way they approach that.”
On feeling her happiest with husband Chris Pratt and son Jack:
“…Chris and I took Jack to the train museum. There were paparazzi, but we were just like, ‘It’s an odd thing that’s happening, but let’s not stress or stress Jack out.’ At one point, Chris turned to me and said, ‘I don’t think I’ve ever been happier in my whole life.’ And I felt the same way.”
On how she deals with the paparazzi:
“…I don’t know if my husband would necessarily agree, but most of them are pretty nice guys, just trying to make a living, and a lot of them are apologetic… I think some celebrities are so mean to them and resent them so much. I mostly feel scared just going out without makeup on. But at the same time, I don’t want it to force a lifestyle change. Some people I work with wish that I would start dressing nicer. [Laughs] They’re like, ‘Can you please not wear sweatpants everywhere you go?’… the scary part is that vulnerability of like, ‘Oh man, I’m gonna be in ‘Stars Without Makeup’ again!’”
On when she feels sexy:
“Probably at home with my husband. He makes me feel really beautiful even when I’m feeling disgusting. I’ll be in boxer shorts and a grubby T-shirt with greasy hair, and he’ll still be like, ‘Whoa, honey. Whoaaa.’”
On her moving her family away from Hollywood:
“We’re definitely thinking about moving away when we can, a few years from now. Maybe Northern California, or Oregon, or Washington. Chris is a country boy. He really wants land, and I do, too. I love the idea of having horses, even though I don’t really know how to ride or take care of them!”
