the only thing I can't buy


I love this movie, and I love Tyra Banks, and her performance was spot-on and highly expressive and she did a great job with it.

But NOOOOOO WAAAAYYYYY could someone with such an anorexic body ever be an athlete.

Most distance runners look a lot scrawnier than her. She looked good.🐭

I don't know... if you google image search "female track & field star" you'll see they tend to be quite a bit bulkier / more muscular than she is in the film. They do have a very low body fat percentage, of course, but not in that emaciated-looking way.
