Kim Kardashian Compared Her Drastic Met Gala Weight Loss To Christian Bale Preparing For A Movie Role And It’s Sparked Even More Debate
Last month, Kim Kardashian caused a stir when she stepped onto the Met Gala red carpet wearing Marilyn Monroe’s 1962 dress, which the Hollywood icon wore when she sang “Happy Birthday” to then-president John F. Kennedy.

“I always thought she was extremely curvy. I imagined I might be smaller in some places where she was bigger and bigger in places where she was smaller. So when it didn’t fit me I wanted to cry because it can’t be altered at all,” Kim explained to Vogue.

“When you know very well that millions of young men and women are looking up to you and listening to your every word,” she continued. “To walk on a red carpet and do an interview where you say how starving you are … because you haven’t eaten carbs in the last month … all to fit in a fucking dress?”

UniversalChristian famously lost around 60 pounds for his role in The Machinist in 2004, and Renée gained 30 pounds to play Bridget Jones for both the original movie and its sequel.

“Which wouldn’t have mattered,” she continued. “It was just important to me to reach that goal.”

“I’m starving,” she told followers, before sharing her excitement to tuck into the food now that her time in the dress was over.

Responding to a tweet about Kim’s comments, one person wrote: “She’s on the right in this one. All the people saying that Christian Bale lost weight for work while she did for a single night doesn’t realise that her job is being a socialite; dressing pretty in fancy parties like the Met Gala is a part of her job.”

“Losing weight is not the problem… the problem is to make an interview saying that you didn’t eat to fit the dress… this can literally influence people to think that if they develop an ED they will fit any clothes they want,” one person tweeted.

“It’s unhealthy either way, but I feel like people are definitely reacting way more negatively to her,” one tweeted.

Double standards,” someone else said.
