I want to be an actress, should I lose weight????

Question: I want to be an actress, should I lose weight!?!?!?!?

I am a 16 yr old girl, and eventually want to be an actress!. I am 5'3!.5 and weigh 115 lbs!. I know this is in the average weight zone and it is towards the lower end, however when you look at the popular actresses today that are getting work, they re all very thin!. Dont; worry, I am not going to become anorexic, but do you think I should lose some weight!?!?!? how much!?!?!? thank you :DWww@QuestionHome@Com

No, you don't need to lose weight to be an actress! (when I saw your post I thought you would be 180 pounds or something (Even if you were directors need actors/actresses of all weights, heights, ages, etc!.!.!.!.115 isn't over weight at all! ;) But if you really feel you want to lose about 5 lbs, just eat really healthy! (NOT less food, just healthy food) In other words eat Low Carb foods, with High Protein in them! (Just read the back/side of the food item, and it will have this information! Hope that helps you!!! :DWww@QuestionHome@Com

OF COURSE NOT!!

If you lose weight, Then you will be too thin, then, when stage pressure hits u, or you stay up late to practice each and every night, your will become dangerously underweight!. Nobody cares what you look like!. I have Done the sound for many plays and its the acting the people come to see!. Really, dont drop any at all!Www@QuestionHome@Com

no you should be proud of the way you look and if people have a pproblem with it then they are just pigs!.!.!.!.!.!. all that matters is that you like acting and you are good at it!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think you should!. You are not overweight!. Being curvy is becoming more and more a big plus actually (think of Shakira, Beyonce and J!.L!.)!. Who wants to see just skin and bones!? :) Good luck! ;)Www@QuestionHome@Com

No i dont think you should!.!.!. who cares how skinny the other people are its just bczu they see imperfections and if you can act good it wont matter
