Iza Calzado is all for *embracing* one's body. But just like us, she had her fair share of insecurities, especially during her early days as an actress. In fact, she recently opened up about how she would cover up her stretch marks with makeup before filming a ~steamy~ love scene.
"To get ready for [sex scenes], siyempre, it's [hard]. Through the years, I was always very conscious of my body," she shared in the latest episode of Isabelle and Ava Daza's The Sexytime Podcast. "I didn't like the way it looked."
She recalled, "Back in the day, I would cover all my stretch marks with foundation and powder." One time, her co-actor joked about how he had to *spit out* way too much powder after filming an intimate scene.
"I found it so liberating when I stopped hiding those flaws," Iza shared.
The 41-year-old mom has certainly come a long way in terms of loving her body. Nowadays, Iza doesn't mind posting her ~unfiltered~ bikini pics and flaunting her tiger stripes on IG, inspiring others to follow her lead.
"My body has gone through so many changes and as a result, I have stretch marks, loose skin, scars, and cellulite. I no longer want to hide these behind digitally distorted images because, truth be told, this reduces the pressure of trying to look perfect in every picture," she captioned one of her swimsuit OOTDs. "This is one of my steps in my self-love journey."
