Ivy Snitzer is sharing how appearing in “Shallow Hal” led to some dark days for her.
In an interview with The Guardian, Snitzer talked about having been a 20-year-old aspiring actress when she worked as the body double for Gwyneth Paltrow in the 2001 film in which Paltrow portrayed an obese woman. While Snitzer said the cast and crew “treated me like I really mattered, like they couldn’t make the movie without me” and she was made to “feel really comfortable,” she said “it didn’t occur to me that the film would be seen by millions of people.
” Following gastric band surgery in 2003, her band slipped, Snitzer explained, “and I got a torsion – like dogs get and then die.” Unable to consume anything of substance without throwing up, she said she lived off of sports drinks and nutritional shakes that had been watered down. “I was so thin you could see my teeth through my face and my skin was all grey,” Snitzer said. “And I was just so bitchy all the time. I kind of alienated a lot of my friends. My mother was also dying; it was bleak.
