Actress Nicola Peltz has undergone a dramatic physical transformation, with her weight reportedly falling below seven stone, as she rigorously prepares for a leading role in an upcoming film. Sources close to the star confirm the change is due to an intense four-month training regime for her part as a ballerina, not weight-loss medications.
Intense Preparation for 'Prima' Role
Peltz is set to star alongside Oscar-winner Faye Dunaway in the new movie 'Prima'. Insiders reveal the actress has been committed to four months of intense ballet training to authentically portray her character, Margot. This dedicated preparation has seen her weight plummet to under 100lbs (45kg).
A source told The Sun: "Nicola was committed to getting things exactly right for this role and it just proves her determination and dedication. There was also no way she was ever going to use the fat jab and so she’s done the work all herself." The film's plot involves Dunaway playing her grandmother, a dedicated ballet coach.
Family Estrangement Fuels Speculation
The actress's shrinking figure had previously sparked fan speculation, with some wondering if it was linked to rumoured weight-loss injections or the ongoing, highly-publicised rift with her husband Brooklyn Beckham's family. The couple have reportedly cut ties with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, as well as his siblings.
This estrangement appears to have escalated legally. It is claimed that Brooklyn sent a 'legal desist letter' to his parents towards the end of last summer, instructing them not to contact him directly or comment about him on social media, and to instead communicate through their respective lawyers. This move is believed to be why the 26-year-old seemingly blocked his famous family on social media just before Christmas.
Life Away from the Beckham Spotlight
Amid the silence on family matters, Nicola and Brooklyn have forged their own path publicly. The pair have missed several key family events, including David Beckham's 50th birthday and the family Christmas, choosing instead to spend the festive period in Los Angeles with Peltz's family. Brooklyn also did not attend celebrations after his father was awarded a knighthood.
Instead, the couple focus on sharing supportive messages to each other online and offering followers glimpses into Brooklyn's culinary projects and their shared professional ventures. While the speculation about their family dynamics continues, Peltz's current focus remains squarely on her demanding professional commitment to 'Prima', with the physical transformation serving as a testament to her dedication to the role.
