Joe Rogan Experience<\/p>\n

Katee Sackhoff says sometimes she’s taken her body transformation too far in her work … including once when she completely stopped menstruating.<\/p>\n

The actress sat down for a conversation on the “Joe Rogan Experience”<\/a> in an episode published Saturday … and, she talked about changing her physical appearance to more precisely embody a character.<\/p>\n

She specifically highlights her weight loss for the Netflix show “Another Life” — which ran from 2019 to 2021 — explaining her character comes out of cyrosleep at the start … and, she wanted to look gaunt and dehydrated in the initial scenes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sackhoff says she grinded to put on a bunch of muscle — getting lean and fit — before changing her intake to around 1,500 calories a day.<\/p>\n

Katee says the trick worked, and her weight took a nosedive … but, it proved to be too much — ’cause Sackhoff says she straight-up stopped getting her period.<\/p>\n

At that moment, Katee says she knew she went too far … and, she was happy to put the weight back on as the series progressed and it made sense for her character to do so.<\/p>\n

Sackhoff is far from the only actor to take on physical transformation like this for roles … Christian Bale<\/a>, Jake Gyllenhaal<\/a> and Rooney Mara<\/a> are just a few notable examples of stars who have cut weight for parts.<\/p>\n

Katee might be a science-fiction star … but, in real-life, we’re sure she’ll be more careful with transforming her body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actress Katee Sackhoff Weight Loss For ‘Another Life’ Messed with My Periods!!!
