Allison Williams did fitness training for a scrapped Girls storyline<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old actress – who played Marnie in six seasons of the hit HBO sitcom, which ran from 2012 to 2017 – has recalled a plot where her character was going to become a SoulCycle instructor, but the idea “ended up getting cut out of the show”.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Las Culturistas podcast, she said: “Listen, I was devastated.<\/p>\n
“I trained, I went to, like, double classes at SoulCycle, the SoulCycle in New York City.”<\/p>\n
Allison noted that plans changing isn’t unusual “in the process of writing a season of a show”.<\/p>\n
\nMeanwhile, Allison recently backed former co-star Zosia Mamet’s calls for a spin-off series because she is so keen to get the cast “back together”.<\/p>\n
\nAsked if there would be a Girls reunion, she told The Guardian newspaper: “I would love it. I know that Zosia has been pushing for a spin-off, which I would voraciously consume and try to elbow my way into.<\/p>\n
\n“I kind of want us all back together.<\/p>\n
\n“It was so fun and it was the beginning of my career, so I didn\u2019t have the perspective I have now on just how lucky we were, or to know how unusual a creative experience it was.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDespite her enthusiasm, Allison initially struggled with viewers thinking she was similar to her narcissistic alter ego on the show.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cI really desired to put distance between us, because I thought that was the kind of acting everybody respected \u2013 like, I\u2019m wearing a prosthetic nose and I gained 40lbs, or whatever. <\/p>\n
\n“And here [our characters] were, who looked basically like we looked and sounded like we sounded, but crucially said and did things that we would never do.<\/p>\n
\n“It always felt weird that, since we didn\u2019t transform ourselves in some way, people weren\u2019t buying us playing characters.\u201d<\/p>\n
