christina ricci talks about her teenage anorexia

Christina Ricci talked about her teenage struggle with anorexia, which stopped her enjoying her fame. Growing up in Hollywood, the 27-year-old actress felt pressured to conform to the Hollywood ideal of perfection and this struggle made her very unhappy.

“I was a teenager going through adolescence and at one point, I had a little anorexia phase and then I kind of ballooned. At premieres I was too busy thinking about my skin or my weight or the clothes I was wearing instead of just enjoying it and saying, ‘I can’t believe I get to be here. This is awesome and I’m going to experience it’.” [Source]

Christina says that she has finally learned to be comfortable with her body and that she has learned not to obsess about her looks anymore.
