Catherine’s sarnie diet - July 18 2007
Catherine Zeta Jones has revealed the secret to her trim figure is the thought of a salmon and crisp sarnie after the gym.

The 37-year-old actress said the snack was an incentive to work out: "This might sound crazy, but [I stay slim] with smoked salmon sandwiches on brown bread with potato chips in the middle crushed down.

"I have to drag myself down to the gym like everyone else. But when I finish, I can eat more sandwiches," she told the Daily Mirror.

The Mask Of Zorro star, who is married to Michael Douglas, also told how living in Bermuda gave her children, Dylan, seven, and four-year-old Carys, more privacy.

"It’s great bringing them up there, taking them to school without hassle, with no photographers hanging around," she said.

Catherine is set to star in Death Defying Acts later this year alongside former Neighbours star Guy Pearce, who plays escapologist Harry Houdini.

She added: "I remember saying defiantly, ’I can’t live without having children’. And he went, ’Me too’."

The couple, who married in New York in 2000, have two kids, Dylan, seven, and Carys, four.
