Christina Ricci has blamed her dramatic weight loss on her latest film.
The once-curvy star, who looks gaunt in new movie 'Black Snake Moan', insists she wanted to look "unhealthy" for her role as nymphomaniac Rae.
Christina said: "When I did 'Ice Storm' and 'The Opposite of Sex', I was fifteen and sixteen. Realistically women do change a lot so I just lost my baby fat.
"As I have gotten older, I am starting to look more like my mother. But in this film, she is someone that doesn't take care of herself and I wanted her to look like that. I wanted her to look unhealthy."
In 'Black Snake Moan' Christina's character is kidnapped by a blues-playing preacher played by Samuel L. Jackson.
She is then chained to a radiator while the preacher tries to persuade her to tame her wild ways.
But Christina, 27, insists she didn't find the experience uncomfortable - even though she spent hours in her underwear filming the disturbing scenes.
