Rex Features

Heroes actress Ali Larter has revealed that she was upset by the way Hollywood treated her for gaining weight.

In an interview with Allure, she confessed that producers and the film's director ignored her and would only communicate through her representatives.

She said: "The faxes went out from the producers and the director to my agents to my manager to call me and ask me to lose weight.

"I just remember sitting in my trailer hysterically crying from the embarrassment I felt about myself, my body - and that no one could talk to me directly."
