Golden Globe-winner Andra Day has revealed that she lost 40 pounds to play jazz legend Billie Holiday -- but it didn't make her feel more beautiful.
The star, who scooped this year's award for her leading role in "The United States vs. Billie Holiday," told InStyle that while she has noticed a difference, the weight loss has not made her feel more attractive. In an interview with writer Rebecca Carroll, published Tuesday, she said: "I've had people ask me, 'Do you feel prettier now that you've lost weight?' I was like, 'Hell, no! I liked being juicy! I was cool.'More Related News
