Amy Adams' weight transformation shares a message of self-love

Amy Adams has been one of the most successful actors of her generation, with multiple Academy Award nominations, delivering masterpieces like Nocturnal Animals (2016) and Her (2013). However, she took a year off the screen after her movies Dear Evan Hansen (2021), The Woman in the Window (2021), and Disenchanted (2022) didn't perform too well at the box office.

With Nightb*tch, she makes a comeback by experimenting with a slightly different role. The official trailer was released on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, which shows Amy Adams taking up the role of a mother. She played the role of a lonely wife who gave birth to a stillborn child in Junebug (2005). In Nightb*tch, Amy does not struggle to give birth to a child but rather wrestles with raising her kids.

This leads her to go off the grid and feel like she is turning into a dog. However, the end of the trailer conveys a message that portrays the beauty of motherhood and the power of being a woman, who, like gods, can create life. Amy Adams has undergone significant weight changes in the past, especially the time she was pregnant.

Amy confessed that she wanted to be present in the moment, even if that included gaining a significant amount of weight. She claimed that during that time, she genuinely felt a deeper relationship with her body and welcomed the changes that came with creating a life.

Amy gave birth to her daughter in 2010 and mentioned that she started working out and following a healthy diet after that. The actress has always admitted that losing weight has never been her goal, but what really mattered was enjoying the process.

"She is definitely wearing prosthetics. Also, may be some stuffing inside her shirt. She gained some weight but this is very drastic when compared to her look in Disney Expo couple of weeks back."
