Actresses Who Got Ripped For A Role

It’s not only for the movies that actresses transform their bodies in order to play badasses. Alison Brie, who at that point was best known as nervous bookworm Annie on “Community” and trophy wife Trudy on “Mad Men,” proved that she could be so much more when she got cast as the lead in Netflix’s “GLOW.” Telling a fictionalized story based on the real-life Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling promotion that launched in 1986, Brie played Ruth “Zoya the Destroyer” Wild, a character inspired by real GLOW wrestler Lorilyn “Ninotchka” Palmer. 

Brie admitted to ET Online, “I have never considered myself an athletic person until I started working on ‘GLOW.'” But she said the show didn’t use stunt doubles, and that her and her fellow actresses really did all the things you saw on the screen. As a result, before each of the show’s three seasons, the cast had to do a month of wrestling training to get ready. Brie’s personal trainer, Jason Walsh, pointed out to Self, “She’s a tiny woman, not an athlete that’s been doing this stuff her whole life. So we trained her like an athlete.” 

That training paid off, with Brie eventually able to do push-ups with 50 pounds of weight on her back, as well as pick up the full weight of other people and hold them over her head — an obviously essential skill for a wrestler.
