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

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

Fortunately for them, most hollywood actresses are already so emaciated
and underfed that playing drug addicts is probably pretty easy for them.
