‘I probably overdid it with the weight!’ Bad Mothers star Tess Haubrich claims pressures to stay thin saw her quit modelling for acting
She’s modelled for haute couture labels including Celine, Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier.
But after quitting the fashion industry in 2010 to pursue a Hollywood career, Bad Mothers star Tess Haubrich has admitted she ‘overdid it’ to meet catwalk body standards.
‘I probably overdid it with the weight,’ the 28-year-old told this weekend’s Sun Herald.

The Sydney-raised star refuse to divulge how much weight she lost but revealed she gained ’15 kilos’ after two years on the catwalk.
‘I knew I didn’t want to model anymore and [after quitting] I gained 15 kilos before going to the Actors Studio in Sydney.’
The mum-of-one, who’s since enjoyed starring roles in Alien: Covenant and Bleeding Steel with Jackie Chan, admitted in 2017 quitting modelling meant she could be taken ‘seriously as an actor.’

‘I wanted to be taken seriously as an actor,’ Tess told Daily Telegraph in 2017.
‘Even though I enjoyed modelling immensely and I was really lucky with the experiences that I got quite quickly, I just always wanted to act.
‘Being a model and an actor, the lines were blurred a little bit and I wanted to be taken seriously as an actor,’ she continued.
New leading lady! The statuesque beauty (left) was a late addition to the cast of Bad Mothers after Packed to the Rafters star Jessica Marais (right) pulled out from production with reps citing health reasons
Recently splitting actor Nicholas Gell, the father of three year-old daughter Juniper, Tess landed her biggest role to date in Nine’s Bad Mothers.
The statuesque beauty was a late addition to the cast – which also includes Melissa George – after Packed to the Rafters star Jessica Marais pulled out from production.
Last October, reps for Jessica, 34, claimed the actress was ‘stepping away from acting to focus on her health.’
Previously, Jessica was forced to miss the Logie Awards in July in order to receive treatment for ‘urgent’ issues at a mental health facility in Bronte, Sydney
