Never had a drink:Jennifer Hudson

Los Angeles, Sep 9 (IANS) Actress Jennifer Hudson says she has never consumed alcohol or drugs in her life. This made it hard for her to play a heroin addict in a movie.

The 31-year-old, who is acting as a heroin addict in a new movie "The Inevitable Defeat Of Mister And Pete", found it difficult to connect with the role, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"It terrified me to play that part because I had no reference point. I’m 31 and I’ve never, ever, ever had a drink or done a drug in my entire life," Manhattan magazine quoted Hudson as saying.

"I stick with Diet Coke and Crystal Light and water," she added.
