Most Hollywood actresses try to get rid of the baby weight as soon as possible to get back down to their svelte bodies, but for her role in Terminator, Bryce Dallas Howard was encouraged to keep the baby weight on.

Shortly after giving birth to her son Theo, now 2, Bryce Dallas Howard got a call to star in the new Terminator Salvation movie. She let the director know that she was not in the best shape and that she just had a baby, but he let her know that it was actually an advantage and not to lose the weight. See, Bryce plays the wife of John Connor in the movie, who is 8 months pregnant in the movie.

While filming the movie though, Bryce, who is the daughter of Ron Howard, naturally started to lose weight, and the director just couldn’t have that. She said, “McG [the director] was throwing cookies at me the whole time, ‘You’re still eight months pregnant [in the film]! Be careful! Continuity!’ ”

Since then, Bryce has managed to lose all the baby weight due to “good old-fashioned diet and exercise, and homeopathy to help me get my hormones back in shape.”

She showed off her great body at the Terminator Salvation premiere with a tight-body hugging Mario Schwab dress. You could tell that she wasn’t eating cookies anymore!
