While Nicola Peltz is currently in the spotlight mainly due to her marriage to Brooklyn Beckham and private dramas, concerned fans have noticed something else. The already petite actress has apparently lost a significant amount of weight. This impression is indeed accurate. Nicola Peltz has transformed herself for a film role. FITBOOK explains what is known about this.

It’s not uncommon for celebrity photos on Instagram to receive comments about appearance or figure. Quickly, someone might be labeled as too thin. This is a challenging trend, especially since such comments often occur without factual knowledge of the celebrity’s circumstances—and can have negative effects on their well-being. In Nicola Peltz’s case, the commenting followers were apparently onto a secret transformation. Nicola Peltz is currently filming “Prima.” According to a source quoted by the U.S. magazine “People,” her role required weight loss.

Intensive Training Program

“She underwent a physical transformation and an intensive training program for her film ‘Prima,’ in which she plays a prima ballerina,” revealed the Hollywood insider. Alongside Nicola Peltz Beckham, notable stars such as Faye Dunaway and Mira Sorvino are also involved in the film project, as indicated by an Instagram post from Peltz.

What Is Known About Nicola Peltz’s Training Routines

The insider did not reveal what the “intensive training program” Nicola Peltz used to prepare for “Prima” looked like. The actress herself has not disclosed anything about it yet. It can be assumed that the actress underwent extensive dance and ballet training over several months to convincingly portray a prima ballerina and master the choreography. Whether elements of strength and endurance training were part of her preparation is unknown.

Media reports from recent years provide some insight into how Nicola Peltz has kept fit in the past. After gaining fame with “Transformers,” the 31-year-old revealed that she enjoys sweating it out at hot yoga or indoor cycling. Running is not really her thing; she prefers walking. Generally, she favors indoor sports over outdoor sports.1

Nicola Peltz seems to be a true fitness enthusiast who, before her marriage, preferred to train with her mother. Understandably, that has changed. Today, she keeps fit together with Brooklyn Beckham in their home gym. This suggests that regular strength training is on the couple’s agenda. And even though Nicola Peltz doesn’t like to go outside for sports, she has shown herself on social media in the past, swimming or cycling.2

How Tough Preparing for a Ballerina Role Can Be

For “Prima,” Nicola Peltz will have taken her training to a new level. Without it, achieving a ballerina figure would likely be impossible. Hollywood star Mila Kunis has already revealed how extreme the preparation for a ballerina role can be.

In the months leading up to the filming of “Black Swan,” her daily routine consisted of “little eating and lots of dancing,” according to her own words. Mila Kunis disclosed: “I drank a lot of broth and danced twelve hours a day.” A strategy that seemed very critical at the time of her interview. Additionally, the actress recalled the extreme challenges of the shoot: “We filmed those dance scenes for hours, and I had bruises all over my ribs from being lifted repeatedly. I also dislocated my shoulder early in the production.”
