Movie hunk Benjamin Bratt's worried mum is giving the actor a hard time about
his skinny frame. Ben slimmed down to play Miguel Pinero in an acclaimed new
biopic about the emaciated and drug-addled street poet. But a year after losing
the weight, he is still struggling to put it back on - and his mom fears her
son went too far in trying to look like Pinero. He says, "I just can't get
those last seven pounds back on. I'm really trying. "It's easy enough to lose
the weight - I simply continued to run, but stopped going to the gym
altogether. For whatever reason I'm predisposed to losing weight. If I don't
lift weights and keep physical to keep mass on, I become the physical person I
was at high school when I was known as The Scarecrow. My mom keeps calling and
says, 'I saw you on TV dear and you look thin.' I keep saying, 'I'm trying ma'"

When playing drug addicts, sometimes these actors take the Method a bit too
far.

I saw a photo of his mother in a magazine a few months ago and she is
beautiful!! Very naturally beautiful. Latin/Peruvian (?), hair pulled back
in a bun, great skin & bones and moderately thin, yet with enough weight for
an about 60 year old woman to still look good. She looked very pretty and
classic and better than most of the older women in Hollywood. Very "regal",
natural and not fake (plastic surgery) at all. She has a beautiful face and
great cheekbones (like him). Actually she looked like an older version of
his new girlfriend - Talisa Soto.

Fortunately for them, most hollywood actresses are already so emaciated
and underfed that playing drug addicts is probably pretty easy for them.
Except for the tans, perfect teeth and toned muscles of course.
