Travolta Cuts His Appetite In Half To Play Suave Spy


JOHN TRAVOLTA has discovered the perfect way to be half a man - eat half his meals.

The movie star decided to drastically trim his bulk in order to play a suave spy in SWORD FISH (2001) and set himself a year to shed the pounds and get back to his perfect 205 pound weight. And he managed to do just that with only a little exercise and without cutting out his favourite meals.

He says, "If I have a cheeseburger I eat half of it, if I have seafood I eat half of it. I also boxed and jumped rope. "I figured the studio wanted me to play a spy and they were paying me a lot of money. You cannot be a fat spy. The weight just fell off. " (KL/WNV/ES)
