Liv Tyler's weightloss secret - horror films!

Washington, May 23 : Actress Liv Tyler has adopted a rather 'scary' way to shed those extra pounds - horror films.

The Lord of The Rings beauty recently revealed that she lost "about 10 pounds" while making new film The Strangers - because she had to run around, acting frightened throughout the shoot.

And the actress recommends the unusual weightloss programme to other actresses who are trying to lose weight.

"We had to be in that heightened state all the time and when you get scared or you're shocked you kinda have a hard time breathing and you're like hyperventilating and crying and screaming," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

"It was a great diet. I actually lost about 10 pounds in two weeks because I was running all day. It was amazing.

"I was like, 'Jeez, I need to do this more often,'" she added.
