Liz Hurley Is Terrified Of getting Fat


Supermodel eLIZabeth HURLEY has revealed her one biggest fear - getting fat. The sexy model-turned-actress confesses to American magazine SELF that she is terrified of putting on weight because her dad was overweight when he died.

The BEDAZZLED (2000) star says, "My dad was always fat and he was fat when he died. I'm always telling myself 'Don't get fat. ' But it's a constant battle for me to eat healthily and exercise since I share my mum's athletic build. "

The former girlfriend of British actor HUGH GRANT also admits to other health concerns as she approaches 40 - she's still battling an addiction to cigarettes. She adds, "Six months seems to be the time it takes to get over the addiction. Then a bad time comes up and I start again. " (IG/WNTEXT/KMW)
