DIET | DETECTIVE^®

I would love to believe that actresses have Kobiyashi-style eating competitions on-set. But I don’t. And I especially don’t believe it when we’re talking about these two stars.

Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley have been hanging out in Wales while filming The Edge of Love, a biographical drama about…who cares. Sorry, did I say that? Anyway, they’ve apparently been having competitions to see who can scarf down the most calories to bulk up for the movie.

Except they’re not playing boxers; they’re playing the love interests of a poet. But regardless, a source says, “Both Keira and Sienna have bigger appetites than many of the men on set. Keira was told to beef up for the role and she and Sienna have been having food competitions to see who can eat the most.”

Right. Okay. Now keep in mind that Keira has been fending off anorexia rumors for four years minimum, and while I do not think she’s anorexic, I don’t think she’s a glutton, either. Although for good measure, Sienna says, “She eats like a horse. She always asks for seconds and loves her apple crumble. There's no way she has an eating problem…eats like a pig for everyone out there who calls her anorexic.”

Fine, but there’s a middle ground between gorging and starving—and that’s where I think you’ll find Keira. I really don’t think she’s in her trailer mainlining Krispy Kremes. I think she’s a naturally skinny gal who is careful about her diet nonetheless. 

As for Sienna, she’s basically famous for being skinny. (Her top-grossing US movie, Alfie, only made a few more mil than Gigli—so let’s be honest.) Like Keira, I think she knows her career rides on her weight, and she does her best to maintain it. She’s been at the same low weight for four years, so I don’t think she has an eating problem either. But, again, I don’t think she’s binge eating.

I suppose they could be inhaling curries and eggs benedict, as the source claims. Heck, maybe they’re importing donut burgers and eating sticks of butter like candy bars. But I suspect there are a few sashimi lunches and quinoa dinners thrown in there, too. Maybe even the occasional Diet Coke. You think?
