You can’t stop working Live Hairspray! star determination.
The actress revealed in an interview with Everybody in November, explaining how her health journey began while she was filming Cinderella with Camila Cabello.
“I couldn’t keep up with the choreography,” Ballio said. “I was constantly out of breath. We had to start filming the scene over and over again for me.”
Ballio attributes her weight loss to walking in her free time — with 30-minute sessions gradually turning into two hours a day — hot yoga and a vegan diet.
“I stepped on the scale, and it was inspiring to see that I could control something, that I could control my body,” she said.
For the Broadway star, seeing her “physical stamina” improve was the most gratifying.
“I was inspired by the changing mentality,” explains Ballio. “I want to play my dream roles on Broadway that have nothing to do with my weight. And I’m sure it’ll go in that direction.”
