Michelle Pfeiffer was in her 20s when she became involved in a cult that encouraged its followers to live without food or water.
Tabloids are full of stories of Hollywood actresses on crazy fad diets, but Michelle Pfeiffer once belonged to a cult that believed human beings could learn to live on nothing but air.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Telegraph, the 55-year-old actress said she was 20 when she moved to Los Angeles and met a couple who acted like "personal trainers."
“They worked with weights and put people on diets. Their thing was vegetarianism,” she said. “They were very controlling. I wasn’t living with them but I was there a lot and they were always telling me I needed to come more. I had to pay for all the time I was there, so it was financially very draining.”
The couple believed in breatharianism -- the idea that followers should try to move beyond veganism.
Though Pfeiffer is still a vegan, she said she realized she was in a cult when she met her first husband, actor Peter Horton. He was working on a film about cults at the time when she had the epiphany: "I was in one."
If someone is called an heiress, they should be able to live on air.
There is this guy who invented a shake that he claims you can live on and never eat again.
I’m not searching for that thread though
Quod erat demonstrandum, baby (Ooh you speak French)
Genius.
Personally I'm dabbling with the beerarian cult. You actually can live on beer. Well, most of you, anyway. Fortunately my 0bamacare policy will cover liver transplants.
Apparently that is what Dr. Hazzard hoped. : )
“Michelle Pfeiffer has that perfect bone structure and looks to make up for any lapse of brain power she may have suffered. The same can’t be said for a lot of airheads in Hollywood, like Sean Penn.”
She sure was skinny in Scarface, and she looked good anyway. She still does.
LOL!
I think that I saw her recently in “Dark Shadows”. She looks great.
> I guess Obama thinks Americans can live on hot air - his.
Not true. If so, we’d all be very tat Breatherians...
Most people in Hollyweird have surrendered to shallowness and vapidity
She OUGHT to look great. She SURE doesn't have any brains going for her.
A breatharian??
PUL-EEEZE, that's stupid even for the Hollyweirdos.
Missy Michelle has gone WAY, WAY, WAY beyond mere shallowness and vapidity. She has gone ROUND THE BEND
Breatharian? Hahahaha, WHAT a moron.
Maybe in the early years. But not near the end.
lol
Penn’s father was a Hollywood communist affected by what’s most often called McCarthyism. But still I agree with the sentiment.
