Zoe Saldana on body image: I do look in the mirror and see things I dont want

These are assorted photos of Zoe Saldana out and about to promote Guardians of the Galaxy. Someone asked yesterday why I’m talking so much about Chris Pratt and Zoe instead of focusing on co-stars like Vin Diesel. I would love to talk about Vin Diesel, but his interviews are pretty blah right now. He’s been walking around on stilts too. Vin’s hot, but stilts are not newsworthy. Sorry to the Vin fans.

Anyway, Zoe looks super pregnant in these photos, but we’re not supposed to talk about that. I still agree with her about general privacy expectations for pregnant women, but she can’t expect to hide a bump like that in form-fitting dresses. And she still needs to tell her friends and family to stop talking to the press.

Zoe did a feature with Women’s Health UK where she posed nude (you can see those photos here). She’s lean and mean (obviously pre-preg) and doesn’t have an ounce of fat on her. Zoe still admits that she worries about her changing body:

Her changing body: “My body is less toned. I do look in the mirror and see things I don’t want. My first reaction is I breathe and I think, ‘I’m a woman, I’m 36, my body is changing.’ This past year I’ve had to start letting go. My body dictated it as if saying, ‘Slow the f— down!’ … And I struggle with that. I love to be an athlete.”

She’s okay with it, really: “I’ve learnt to listen to myself, so whenever I don’t feel like doing anything that starts with ‘I should’ then I don’t. I’m exactly where I want to be. I do feel beautiful in a way that even when I was working out a whole lot, I sometimes didn’t. Because there have been times that I was really slender and I didn’t like that I sometimes looked a little too muscular and flat chested – you’ll never be completely happy, so at the end of the day it’s like ‘F— it. Just be happy, regardless.'”

On the amazing Marco: “We give each other a great deal of support and love but it wasn’t because we found it in each other, we came that way and then got together. That’s what I love about it. I do believe whatever’s meant to be will be – but had the universe said, Let’s just wait, he’s going to come into your life later,’ I would’ve been fine on this journey I was on just knowing who the f— I was.”

Zoe’s words come off as little obnoxious since she’s posing naked and looks absolutely fantastic. She’s humblebragging a bit, you know? I get that we all look in the mirror and can see room for improvement, but Zoe has made a tidy living from being a hot-bodied babe. I want to give her some credit for admitting that she worries about her body, yet Zoe’s words seem a little vague and like a put on. She’s not digging deep like Chris Pratt did yesterday. Am I being too harsh?
