Gwyneth Paltrow’s Body Double From Shallow Hal Speaks Out

Gwyneth Paltrow’s body double from Shallow Hal, Ivy Snitzer, speaks out about how filming the movie almost broke her. Written and directed by the Farrelly brothers, the 2001 romantic comedy follows a shallow man named Hal played by Jack Black who is hypnotized into only seeing a person’s inner beauty and subsequently falls in love with a 300-pound woman named Rosemary. While Paltrow wore a fat suit for scenes featuring her face, Snitzer was used for close-ups of Rosemary’s body.
