Once known for her hourglass figure, as well as for her pride at having a body that needed no workout and no diet, Scarlett Johansson has enlisted the services of Tracy Anderson, trainer to the stars, to lose weight for her upcoming movie role. The results of working out with Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow’s personal trainer have already been noted, with the actress losing some of the curves that made her famous.

According to the British publication the Daily Mail, Scarlett’s recent weight loss can be explained by her beginning to train with Anderson, known in the celebrity world for her longtime collaboration with Madonna and Paltrow.

Johansson, it seems, is eager to do her best Black Widow take for “Iron Man 2,” therefore working out and having a leaner body has become a top priority for her. In this sense, one of her most recent appearances confirms that results will not fail to show soon enough.

Madonna, famous for her fit physique, is also one of Anderson’s clients, so, if this is any indication as to what the future has in store for Johansson, then one might conclude that the actress will lose some of her curves in almost no time. The Tracy Anderson Method, of which both Madonna and Paltrow are big fans, is reportedly also Scarlett’s choice to a leaner body, involving varied exercises that aim to build both a stronger core and muscles.

Speaking of working with Madonna, Anderson recently revealed to The Mirror that, contrary to what people believed, in her relationship with Her Madgesty, she was the one wearing the pants, so to speak. “I said to her, ‘I’m going to be bringing crazy equipment into your house, and you can’t work with anyone else.’ So she dropped all her other training and committed to me. She doesn’t tell me what she wants to achieve with her body – I tell her. She trusts me, so she does it.” Anderson explained about working with reportedly the toughest woman in showbiz.

Moreover, from what Gwyneth Paltrow has also been telling the media, Anderson will take nothing but obedience as regards her workout schedule and diet. Scarlett Johansson is in for a rather rough ride, it has been pointed out, but the results will certainly be worth the effort.
