Christina Hendricks: 'My curves get compliments'

Christina Hendricks has revealed that she is comfortable with her curves.

The Mad Men actress has admitted that although she was apprehensive about the attention her body type would receive on the first season of the AMC drama, she has insisted that the reaction from the public has been "positive".

Speaking to Marie Claire, the 34-year-old said: "In the beginning, it was odd to have so much attention brought to my body type. I thought, 'Uh-oh, brace yourself'. But everyone has been so positive.

"During the first season, a woman came up to me at dinner and said, 'I just want to thank you - watching you has made me proud of my body'. I thought, 'What an amazing thing for someone to say!' To make anyone feel good about themselves makes me feel good."

Hendricks's new husband Geoffrey Arend recently described her as a "cutie pie".
