Anorexia is a serious illness that people of all ages and social backgrounds face. Stars are not only not an exception, but also people who have a tendency to this disease. Why is this happening? The answer is simple - when you are constantly in sight, you want to be slimmer, better, sexier. Plus psychological and nervous disorders leading to similar problems. And at some point, in pursuit of the perfect body, you can no longer stop. We have compiled a photo list of actors and actresses who have experienced anorexia.
Tara Reid
- Party King, Clinic, American Pie, The Big Lebowski
Tara became famous thanks to "American Pie", but information about her unsuccessful beach photos more often appeared in various publications than about roles. Unsuccessful plastic surgery and thinness, which borders on soreness, made a walking skeleton of a pretty girl. Reed, however, does not really listen to public opinion and does not consider himself anorexic. The actress says that she really likes her figure.
Demi Lovato
- Grey's Anatomy, Will & Grace, The Losers, Give Sunny a Chance
Demi had a predisposition to bulimia - her mother and grandmother also suffered from similar disorders. Lovato ended up in a specialized clinic for the treatment of bulimia and anorexia at the age of 18. The actress could not accept herself and hated her body. Demi admits that there were days when she just couldn't bring herself to get out of bed. She was ashamed to admit to herself that she was anorexic. Now the actress is worried about how eating disorders can affect the lives of her future children, and whether they will suffer as much as she did.
Mary-Kate Olsen
- "Two: Me and My Shadow", "Little Rascals", "New York Moments", "Terribly Handsome"
The list of actors and actresses who suffered from anorexia would not be complete without one of the Olsen twins. Mary-Kate experienced many psychological problems in 2004, ranging from a busy schedule and stress caused by increased attention to her person, ending with the first separation from her sister. As a result, Olsen began to develop anorexia. The actress could not cope with the problem on her own - relief came only after a month's stay in a rehabilitation center. The doctors said that the condition in which Mary-Kate was admitted could be considered critical, and everything could end sadly.
Hilary Duff
- Gossip Girl, Young, Raising Hope, Community, Ghost Whisperer
Hillary Duff suffered from eating disorders as a teenager. The actress admits that she was simply obsessed with dieting, and this led to anorexia. At the age of 17, she rallied herself and dealt with the problem. However, after the divorce and the birth of a son, Duff again developed an obsession with unhealthy thinness. Hillary now says she is getting back on track with sports and healthy eating.
Lily-Rose Depp
- "King", "Dancer", "Yoganuts", "Honest Man"
The star parents of the aspiring actress Lily-Rose Depp cannot be called complete. Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp are naturally thin and graceful, but their daughter decided that she wants to be even thinner and slimmer. By the age of 18, Lily-Rose admitted that she was struggling with anorexia. Now the girl says that she is proud of the results of her struggle with the disease, although she understands that this problem will haunt her throughout her adult life.
Sophie Turner
- Game of Thrones, The Thirteenth Tale, Josie, Freak of Time
Sophie became famous for her participation in the cult TV series "Game of Thrones", where she played Sansa Stark. Sophie makes no secret of the fact that she suffered from an eating disorder for a long time. The problem was so serious that by the age of 19, the actress had menstrual irregularities. Turner says that she would not have coped with anorexia on her own, if not for her future husband Joe Jonas, who provided her with tremendous psychological help.
Zosia Mamet
- "Cherry", "You are the embodiment of vice", "Parents", "United States of Tara"
Zasha Mamet also refers to actresses who have had anorexia and bulimia. The girl had a problem in childhood - when she was only 8 years old, she was called fat. At that moment, the future actress experienced tremendous stress, and ordinary words greatly influenced her self-esteem. Mamet could not eat for a whole week to gain weight. At some point, the actress's dad sounded the alarm and sent Zasha to a specialized center for treatment. Now the star of the series "Girls" is doing well, but she does not exclude that someday bulimia may return.
Lindsay Lohan
- The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, Two Broke Girls
The actress became a real star very early, and at some point she simply could not cope with psychological problems. Alcohol, drugs and anorexia drove Lindsay to a very terrible state. The photos of the young girl were simply frightening - in the pictures you could see every bone of the actress. Lohan said that she wanted to lose weight so much that she could only afford a couple of glasses of juice a day. This continued until the moment when Lindsay's friends put her in a clinic, where professionals took up the health of the actress.
Kate Beckinsale
- Van Helsing, Underworld, Pearl Harbor, Abode of the Damned
Looking at Kate, one cannot even assume that she ever suffered from diseases associated with an eating disorder. But the actress once admitted to reporters that she faced anorexia as a teenager. Now this problem in Beckinsale's life is not, and she does not want to be reminded of her.
Nicole Richie
- Chuck, 8 Simple Rules for a Friend of My Teenage Daughter, Bless This Mess, Camping
Nicole Richie has come face to face with EDD (Eating Disorder). She never suffered from excess weight, rather the opposite, and the times of close friendship with Paris Hilton almost drove Richie into the grave. After the fame that fell on Nicole, the constant pursuit of photographers, and attention to her own person, she broke loose and earned herself anorexia. The girl looked like a skeleton and could not get out of this state. It took Nicole 2 years to get into physical and psychological shape. Nevertheless, even after the birth of two children, Richie is accused of being too thin.
Lily Collins
- "Beyond the Rules", "With Love, Rosie", "Les Miserables", "Okja"
Another star who ran into anorexia when she was a teenager is Lily Collins. At the moment, the actress has a wonderful weight and a healthy appearance, but once everything was different. When Collins starred in the movie "To the Bones", which tells about a girl with an eating disorder, she perfectly understood and felt the feelings of her character.
Angelina Jolie
- Gia, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Girl, Interrupted, Gone in 60 Seconds
Rounding off our photo-list of actors and actresses who have experienced anorexia is the beautiful and amazing Angelina Jolie. The actress faced anorexia after the death of her mother in 2007. She became depressed, stopped eating and began to rapidly lose weight. Jolie's fans sounded the alarm. From a sultry woman, Angelina began to turn into a painfully thin creature. Jolie asked for one thing - not to touch her while she is experiencing her loss. It took Angelina about a year to return to normal.
