Amy Lou Adams, the celebrated American actress renowned for her comedic and dramatic roles, is making a return to the big screens after 2 years.
Her upcoming film, Nightbitch, is an adaptation of Rachel Yoder’s 2021 novel of the same name.
In the movie, Amy’s character finds herself struggling with motherhood, while also being concerned about going through a dramatic change of turning into a dog.

These assumptions are rooted in the fact that Amy has history of undergoing transformations for her roles, whether through physical changes or the use of prosthetics.
For instance, in Hillbilly Elegyse, Amy used a wig and prosthetics to portray Bev, a struggling mother battling drug addiction.
Similarly, in one of her earlier films, Catch Me If You Can, she wore dental prosthetics to fully embody her character.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, she really gained some extra weight of 12-15 pounds, for her role in Vice.
However, all these speculations and assumptions about her weight gain process for the movie Nightbitch were ruled out when Amy and Marielle Heller clarified it in Vanity Fair.
While appreciating Amy for her willingness to embrace the role, Heller, the director of the movie, said:
“She was this gorgeous movie star who was never allowed to look real, and she got to look real.”

This statement from her suggests that this time, her weight gain was for real, and no prosthetics were used, contrary to the fan’s speculations.
Also, regarding the speculations, Amy said:
“I wasn’t judging anything as it was going on. I wasn’t judging my physical appearance. I was just in the character so much. So, yeah, I suppose that can feel liberating at times, but also terrifying.”

Her, going through a real physical transformation shows her dedication to portray the role of the character and mostly her passion towards her acting career.
We wish Amy all the best for her upcoming Nightbitch.
