ASHLEY Greene does martial arts — because it puts her dad at ease.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon star, 22, says she practices her fighting skills on men — and loves being able to defend herself.
“I think part of it is that it’s really empowering and part of it is because it’s fun,” she said. “It’s incredible to see what your body can do and what you’re capable of and not needing a weapon to defend yourself is a really great thing.
“It puts my dad at ease and gives him a little piece of mind. I started doing martial arts when I was really young and I ended up sparring with boys instead of girls because I was that into it and I didn’t want to beat up the girls. It’s a fun thing and I’ve always been really athletic.
“I’m definitely going to get more involved in it. When we were filming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse we had fight training for about six weeks, so that kind of re-sparked that bug. I had a personal trainer on top of that and they had us do mixed martial arts fighting as well.”
Greene recently revealed how she starved herself to prepare for her role in New Moon.
“It was really easy,” she told Us Weekly magazine. “We were working 12 hours a day, so it didn’t leave too much time to eat.”
