Rosamund Pike showed her perfect physique as result of post pregnancy grueling five-week workout. She impressed moviegoers with her Oscar-nominated performance in the hit film Gone Girl. However, Rosamund Pike is also remembered for putting her enviable physique on show when she stripped down in the thriller. But it is how the 35-year-old’s body has rebounded to its fit form after a five-week workout program since welcoming her baby boy in December that is most impressive.
‘Her body is literally back to what it was… she is close to a six-pack again’ her trainer Holly Lawson revealed to E! News. The blonde gave birth to her son Atom in early December but did not begin her intense workouts until after the Golden Globes on January 11. She and her partner Robie Unaicke also have two-year-old son Solo. ‘She was so fit for Gone Girl,’ the fitness guru revealed. ‘She had never been that fit in her life. She really wanted to get back in that space again after having the baby.
‘When she was at the [Golden] Globes we hadn’t started working yet, but she had started doing things we did [during filming].
She added that the mother of two got ‘back into her pre-baby clothes’ by hitting the gym for an hour, five days a week. Rosamund followed an exercise program that included running, burpees, squat jumps and planks. The regimen helped her slim down in the time between the Golden Globes ceremony and the Oscars – a remarkable five-week timeline.
‘From the Globes to now is all the work that we put in,’ she explained.
And her efforts in the gym paid off – as the actress cut a slender figure when she hit the Academy Awards red carpet in a corseted Givenchy gown that called attention to her thin waistline. However, Rosamund plans to cut back on the grueling workouts to ‘two or three times a week,’ her trainer admitted. In Gone Girl, Rosamund earned acclaim for her portrayal of Amy Dunne – a psychopath who frames her unfaithful husband, played by Ben Affleck, for her murder. Rosamund was nominated for Golden Globe, BAFTA and SAG awards.

While she was still at the university, Pike made appearances on British television shows, including A Rather English Marriage, Wives and Daughters, and Love in a Cold Climate , a miniseries based on Nancy Mitford’s novels The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate. She also appeared as Sarah Beaumont in an episode of the series Foyle’s War, during which she was required to smoke a cigarette almost constantly.
After graduating she considered working at Waterstone’s bookshop, due to a lack of acting opportunities, but was offered a role as a Bond girl and MI6 agent assigned to aid James Bond in Die Another Day. She also appeared in the special show Bond Girls Are Forever and, shortly afterwards, the BAFTA tribute to the James Bond series. Pike then played Elizabeth Malet in The Libertine, co-starring Johnny Depp, which won her the Best Supporting Actress award at the British Independent Film Awards.
In the same year, she portrayed Rose in The Promised Land, a film about Israel, and starred as scientist Samantha Grimm in the cinematic adaptation of the computer game series Doom. In 2005, she appeared as Jane, the elder sister of Elizabeth (played by Keira Knightley), in Pride & Prejudice. Pike then starred in the film adaptation of Anne Michaels’s novel Fugitive Pieces. She also starred as a successful attorney in the film Fracture, opposite Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling.
Her stage credits include Hitchcock Blonde by Terry Johnson (in a role requiring her to appear completely nude on stage with only a pair of high heels) and Tennessee Williams’ Summer and Smoke, both in London’s West End, and Gaslight at London’s Old Vic Theatre. Pike has said that she would be happy to do at least one play every year. In 2009, she played the title character in Madame De Sade during the Donmar’s West End season.

In 2012, she played the role of Queen Andromeda in the fantasy epic Wrath of the Titans. She replaced Alexa Davalos, who had played the role in Clash of the Titans and had dropped out due to a scheduling conflict.
Taking the role in Wrath of the Titans meant she had to drop out of consideration for a role in the forthcoming Superman film. Although the film was not well received by critics, it grossed over $300m and critics considered her performance to be one of the film’s highlights. She also starred as Helen Rodin, the female lead alongside Tom Cruise in the thriller Jack Reacher, an adaptation of the novel One Shot by author Lee Child. The film opened to positive critical reception and had grossed over $213m as of 28 February 2013.She is currently filming the thriller Gone Girl, based on the novel of the same name and directed by David Fincher.
