Grammy-winning Winehouse suffered from drug addiction and bulimia before she died in 2011. The actress portraying her in a biopic about her life said the role was easier when she physically changed herself.
Actress Marisa Abela consulted a dietician to help her safely portray Amy Winehouse in the upcoming biopic about the singer's life. The 27-year-old actress from Brighton said feeling 'frailer and smaller' helped when depicting the Valerie singer in the upcoming film Back To Black - named after the artist's famous album and song. 'I had help to do it safely; I consulted a dietician and was being monitored,' Abela said in an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK.
' 'I loved how effervescent she was, how huge a soul, how she just permeated any room she was in. 'But also, her relationship to her art form, and wanting to be good. That was the most important thing.' 'My job was to get into Amy's shoes' The biopic is directed by 50 Shades Of Grey filmmaker Sam Taylor-Johnson, whose husband, Aaron, has recently been reported to be the next James Bond.
