    Personal Trainer

    Over the years, Jessica never discussed her exercise and diet regime. Even when people inquired if she trained any differently or altered her diet for a nude scene, she dismissively claimed that she continued to drink pints and eat burgers.

    She flashed her upper body in Albatross (2011) and had a brief, fleeting, nude scene in the mini-series Labyrinth in 2012. In defense of those roles, Jessica asserted that actresses should remain “honest and natural” and not workout for hours in the gym.

    In March 2017, she finally confessed that she was suffering from an eating disorder since the age of 14 and overcame it with the help of extensive therapy.

  • At the age of 19, Jessica had to undergo three ankle surgeries. A lapse in the third surgery made her quit ballet forever.
  • She was the first person in her family to go to the university.
