Some actresses start wanting children of their own when they take on a mother's role in a movie or drama. However, "Jane The Virgin" star Gina Rodriguez felt the exact opposite after filming a whole season with a fake baby bump!
"I'm so happy to get that belly off, girl, that belly was something else!" she told The Wrap when asked about trading in her fake belly with a real baby next season.
Wearing the baby bump for months put her priorities in perspective and she even thought making younger people wear them would help them rethink about rashly getting pregnant as well.
"They should put that belly on every junior in high school for the entire year, I think that would be quite the experiment," she laughingly suggested.
Question is, did acting like a pregnant woman and subsequently giving birth to a beautiful baby boy in "Jane The Virgin" make Gina Rodriguez start craving for a family? According to the Golden Globe winning actress, it helped her decide to hold off on starting a family first.
"I'm 30 now myself and everyone's been like, 'so did the show make you think you want to do this?' and I'm like, if I could look as good as I looked when I was Jane when I was pregnant - which I know is not going to happen, because there's no way I'm going to have that perfect belly. No way. Are you kidding? Oof," she continued.
That didn't mean that she didn't want to start a family at all, she's just not ready yet to take that next step in life. In fact, she thinks women are "superheroes".
"I admire women so much. They're like superheroes," she said. "I'm not sure I'm a superhero quite yet."
Catch "Jane The Virgin" and Gina Rodriguez for a second season this Oct. 19 on the CW!
