She was said to be considering going on a diet after becoming fed up with being talked about as the 'curviest woman in Hollywood.'
But fans of Christina Hendricks can rest assured - the Mad Men actress is definitely not planning on losing her famous curves.
'I love my body as it is,' she told British Grazia magazine. 'People in the industry have been telling me to lose weight for years but I like the way I look.' It was reported that the 35-year-old, who has a stunning 39D-30-39 figure, had told friends she wants to lose more than two stone.
But the actress, who is married to actor Geoffrey Arend, said she has her mother to thank for helping her feel secure about her figure.
'I give credit for my mother for helping me feel good about my appearance - for making sure I never felt embarrassed about my body, because she was never worried about looking too big,' she said
However, it seems the star wasn't always quite so curvy.
'I started out as a model and when I went to Italy to build my modelling book I gained 15 pounds from all the pastas and cappuccinos,' she revealed.
'I saw my body change and I loved how it changed my appearance and how it made me look more womanly and sexy.'
Hendricks recently showed off her curvy figure in a black floral dress at the New York screening of the Mad Men series finale.
She plays sexy secretary Joan Holloway on the cult 1960s drama whose fourth season recently finished in the U.S

Would that more mothers were comfortable with their daughters’ curves!

SCHWING! Tentpole! She’s a babe! She’s magically babelicious!
Besides the large h**ts - this is not a flattering photo.
There’s something about redheads..........
She’s not alone
Wonderful. I love women who look like women, as opposed to the kind of malnourished waifs favored by gay fashion designers.
there is, they’re crazy
I think she looks fantastic in that photo.
Don’t mess with Mother Nature lady...
The bra Kung Fu is strong with one.
She is wise. Many an actresses career has been ruined because she took the advice of the Hollywood “Frankensteins”, and their twisted manipulations of natural beauty.
The end result of what they do was Michael Jackson, surgically altered so many times that his nose fell off, leaving him a hideous, scarred monster. Which was beautiful only in the sick minds of such “beauty” consultants.
They advise any number of grotesques. Electrolysis of all facial hair and replace it with tattoos. Other tattoos that look like lip liner. Face lifts, liposuction, body shaping, lip collagen, nose jobs, putting so many savage chemicals on hair that it eventually rots off, etc.
Congratulations. You now look like Pam Anderson. Get lost, you freak.
Remember the beautiful actress Jennifer Grey? Great career, hit movies, and then suddenly she believed the sales pitch of the Frankensteins and gets a nose job. Instantly, she is a “generic” face. Unremarkable. Uninteresting. Forgettable. She will never be a star again.
Uh?
I saw her in a FireFly episode. It’s interesting that the episode really bugged my wife. There is the woman that plays the “companion” on every episode, in low cut dresses, etc., and my wife doesn’t blink. But my wife did not like me watching this lady.
It was a subtle thing, but it was real.
Hoots?
