Heroes star Ali Larter was once treated like an outcast on a film set after discovering how cruel Hollywood can be to an actress who gains weight.

The sexy star admits producers and directors stopped talking to her after she piled on the pounds while shooting a film on location.

She tells the new issue of Allure magazine, "The faxes went out from the producers and the director to my agents to my manager to call me and ask me to lose weight.

"I just remember sitting in my trailer hysterically crying from the embarrassment I felt about myself, my body - and that no one could talk to me directly."
