KATY 'ROCKY' PERRY

Katy Perry ''looks like Rocky'' when she works out because of the exercises she does.

Katy Perry "looks like Rocky" when she is working out.

The 'Waking Up In Vegas' singer takes inspiration from the fictional boxer - played by Sylvester Stallone in the hit film franchise - and skips at home to help her stay trim.

She said: "Jumping rope and swimming will get you in top shape like that. Swimming will get you into shape without hurting anything on your body, but I just don't like to be out in the sun necessarily, so I defer to jump rope. I kind of look like Rocky."

Although the 24-year-old star enjoys exercising, she always makes time to relax and is a big advocate of meditation.

Katy has previously revealed she took boxing lessons when she was younger, but insists it would take a lot to provoke her into using her pugilistic skills outside the ring.

She said: "I'm not a violent person, though I did take boxing lessons from the age of 17. My coach was a Jamaican street fighter, and he once lost an eye in a fight. But I would never fight anyone, unless they wanted to hurt my family."
