Alicia Silverstone “Time Stands Still” Role And Former Eating Habits
Written by Vegetarian Star on January 30th, 2010 in Actresses, Broadway and Stage, Food & Drink.
Alicia Silverstone just embarked on a brand new project–a role in the Donald Margulies play Time Stands Still.
Alicia chatted with the NY Mag at one of her favorite veggie restaurants, Pure Food & Wine about her new role.
Alicia may be snacking on edamame and acai juice between Acts now, but it wasn’t always that way.
“I was a total meat-eater, are you kidding me? I was 21, and when the word health came up, it meant, ‘Oh, you’re telling me to lose weight.’ I had quite a bit of pressure about my weight and stuff. So I said, ‘Fuck you. I’m going to eat whatever I want. I don’t care.’ I just totally rebelled—I was anti-health. My love for animals is what saved me.”
After the NY Mag suggested Alicia’s character Mandy in Time Stands Still is somewhat like her Clueless character Cher-superficial and bubbly-Alicia insisted that was where the similarities ended.
“Cher was a teenage girl and Mandy is a professional person who runs entire events. She meets her lover at a launch party for a book on Darfur. Just like everybody, she’s had pain, but she’s not going to war.”
