Michelle Rodriguez & Bridget Moynahan - Battle: L.A.

Michelle Rodriguez and Bridget Moynahan premiere Columbia Pictures’ Battle: Los Angeles at the Village Theater on Tuesday (March 8) in Los Angeles.

“When us chicks don’t remove our clothes and we don’t play the girlfriend, there are not a lot of roles out there,” Michelle told the Daily News, “so I got to play it safe and take the roles I can.”

“For two weeks it was like full throttle. That’s where I got the abs for Machete actually – those hundred situps, the 50 pushups and the 2-mile run every morning,” the 32-year-old actress said. “But the shooting. That stuff I love, I could do that with my hands tied behind my back.”

FYI: Michelle is wearing a Basil Soda gown.
