“There was a general vibe on the set though, that was difficult, about the thinness situation,” she told People, adding, “Every single person was gorgeous and super skinny. So I was like, ‘This is what I have to do.’ ”
Davis said that she hired a running coach and did back-to-back 90-minute spin classes to look a certain way.
“I was frustrated. I was trying to do the thing,” she shared. “Of course, I’m sure I wasn’t eating, I have no idea. I don’t remember the eating part.”
