Carey Mulligan Talks Weight Loss, Shia LeBeouf

Carey Mulligan features in on the cover of the upcoming issue of Elle Magazine UK, and the 'Never Let Me Go' star opened up about weight loss and boyfriends, among other things.

Already petite, Mulligan had to lose even more weight for her Oscar-nominated turn in 'An Education' - an experience she isn't eager to repeat.

"Weetabix for breakfast, soup for lunch and salad for dinner. 'No, I will not have that glass of wine! Put that pizza away!' It was not fun. I look back and it's really, really not worth depriving yourself," she told the magazine.

"I was very thin at the beginning of 'An Education' and I remember the scene where I'm dancing and you can see my spine. Yuck," Mulligan continued. "I would never want to be so thin that someone would think it was a good idea to be thin, and make themselves miserable. I know this sounds wanky, but I would never want to set a bad example, basically."

As for her Shia LeBeouf, her co-star in 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' and, just recently, ex-boyfriend, Mulligan kept it professional.

"I always wanted to work with him, above and beyond anything else, because I thought he was so amazing in 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints," she said, staying away from the love aspect of their relationship. "I don't want to meet all these amazing people, that's not the thrill - I want to work with them."
