'I love my body,' says curvy Mad Men star Christina Hendricks as she denies going on a diet



Curvaceous: Mad Men star Christina Hendricks, attending the Mad Men finale screening in New York last week, has denied going on a diet

She was said to be considering going on a diet after becoming fed up with being talked about as the 'curviest woman in Hollywood.'



But fans of Christina Hendricks can rest assured - the Mad Men actress is definitely not planning on losing her famous curves.



'I love my body as it is,' she told British Grazia magazine.

'People in the industry have been telling me to lose weight for years but I like the way I look.'

It was reported that the 35-year-old, who has a stunning 39D-30-39 figure, had told friends she wants to lose more than two stone.

But the actress, who is married to actor Geoffrey Arend, said she has her mother to thank for helping her feel secure about her figure.



'I give credit for my mother for helping me feel good about my appearance - for making sure I never felt embarrassed about my body, because she was never worried about looking too big,' she said.

However, it seems the star wasn't always quite so curvy.



'I started out as a model and when I went to Italy to build my modelling book I gained 15 pounds from all the pastas and cappuccinos,' she revealed.



'I saw my body change and I loved how it changed my appearance and how it made me look more womanly and sexy.'

Hendricks recently showed off her curvy figure in a black floral dress at the New York screening of the Mad Men series finale.

She plays sexy secretary Joan Holloway on the cult 1960s drama whose fourth season recently finished in the U.S.
