Rooney Mara yearned for breastsRooney Mara was always “eager to get boobs”.

The actress is known for her great figure and always looks striking on the red carpet.

However, the star of Steven Soderbergh’s Side Effects hasn’t always been confident about her body and tried to encourage her chest to grow when she was younger.

“[My sister] was really upset when my mom brought her home a training bra. She didn’t want it, so I moseyed on over and picked it up,” she explained to director Steven as he quizzed her for Interview magazine.

“I was very eager to get boobs. It wasn’t until years later that the training bra would actually fit. I’ve regretted it ever since.”

Rooney is known for eating healthily and tries to avoid food that has been genetically modified.

The 27-year-old has an interesting outlook when it comes to planning her meals and maintaining her slim figure.

“I try to eat food that hasn’t been washed in ammonia and then packaged in the shape of breaded dinosaurs filled with cheese – even though those are very tasty,” she deadpanned.

“I like to eat food that can actually make it through the 20-plus feet of my small intestine.”

Despite feeling flat-chested as a youngster, there is one part of her body the dark-haired star has always liked.

Whereas she has many desirable assets, Rooney believes her feet are her best feature.

“I don’t know. They are just pretty great feet,” she mused.

“They get me to where I need to be – usually on time. They don’t smell. They are a nice size. Long toes…”
