Milla Jovovich: I thought my baby was a beer belly

Actress was shocked when told she was pregnant

Pregnant Milla Jovovich has revealed that she thought her growing tummy was a beer belly.

The Resident Evil star, 31, who is engaged to British director Paul WS Anderson, was stunned when she discovered that she was pregnant with her first child.

‘It was almost six and a half weeks before I put two and two together, which was funny because my belly was getting big,’ she tells the Daily Record.

The Ukrainian born actress feared she’d never conceive because she was too skinny.

‘I hadn’t conceived due to my active lifestyle – my body wasn’t allowing itself to get pregnant in an unhealthy environment,’ says Milla.

In order to fall pregnant the actress took a year off work to gain some weight.

She enjoyed ‘bagels with butter and peanut butter and jelly, cakes and scones,’ and even became addicted to cheese and onion pasties from Greggs.

‘I love them,' she says. 'I have often said I should be the face of Greggs. They haven’t approached me yet.’

The junk food diet clearly worked, her daughter is due next month.
