“When I started on “X-Men’, I had been training and doing regular personal training and trying to eat in a healthy way,”; Munn said to E! Online.
“My intention was to just get as fit and as healthy as I could be, for myself…I started working out every single day, and then I also started getting into eating 20-80, where 80 per cent of your diet is fruits and vegetables and 20 per cent is whatever. So, that can be any kind of meats or breads or anything else, but mostly fruits and vegetables.”;

The 35-year-old’s transformation is owed to the same dietary principles followed by supermodel Gisele Bündchen and her husband, New England Patriot’s quarterback Tom Brady.
Munn’s noted she was not dropping pounds to slim down, rather the weight loss was a byproduct of a healthier lifestyle. Armed with her healthiest self, Munn is excited to bring Psylocke and the hero’s infamous sexy costume to the big screen.

“Even though she’s always drawn in a sexual way, she always has substantive plotlines,”; Munn says of Psylocke. “What she looked like became secondary because she was lethal. She is such a badass. And smart.”;
