Andra Day<\/a> was thrust into stardom after becoming\u00a0the second Black woman<\/a> to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her role in The United States vs Billie Holiday. <\/em>While at first glance, the role was the most perfect alignment for the actress, Day has since revealed she needed to starve herself while filming – and warned against doing it in the real world.<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0Shape Magazine,<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>the 36-year-old said she lost 40 pounds to “transform” into the iconic singer. Her only advice in any other circumstance is “don’t”.<\/p>\n
