A lot of people around the world suffer from insecurities about their body, which causes them to be conscious about their appearance. But it takes courage to open up about these feelings, especially if you are a celebrity.
Actor Megan Fox has admitted that she is not all that confident about her body, and that she suffers from body dysmorphia. The 35-year-old shared this with British GQ Style, whom she gave a joint interview with boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly.
тАЬYeah, I have body dysmorphia. I have a lot of deep insecurities,тАЭ she was quoted as saying.
тАЬWe may look at somebody and think, тАШThat personтАЩs so beautiful. Their life must be so easy.тАЩ They most likely donтАЩt feel that way about themselves,тАЭ the Transformers actor said.
Speaking with indianexpress.com, Dr Prerna Kohli, an eminent psychologist and founder of MindTribe, had previously explained body dysmorphia as тАЬa type of obsessive-compulsive disorderтАЭ in which the individual who suffers believes тАЬone part of his or her body or his or her entire body has some deficit. This deficit is usually not seen by others. The individual can see these minor flaws quite vividly that make them feel embarrassed; they are likely to avoid social interactions due to the anxiety that results from the perceived flaws.тАЭ
According to a People magazine report, Fox had previously discussed other mental health issues, stating that she had reached a тАЬbreaking pointтАЭ after the release of her 2009 film JenniferтАЩs Body, because she was тАЬconsistently being sexualised in films and mediaтАЭ.
тАЬIt wasnтАЩt just that movie, it was every day of my life, all the time, with every project I worked on and every producer I worked with,тАЭ the actor had said at the time.
In the GQ Style interview, Machine Gun Kelly also opened up about his past trauma, saying that his girlfriend тАЬinspiresтАЭ him to тАЬwork on his own issuesтАЭ and be open about them with his fans. тАЬI want to be as grounded as she is, but IтАЩm not there yet. IтАЩm open to it, but I donтАЩt want to fool you like IтАЩm there. SheтАЩs helped me realise that you canтАЩt bury your trauma,тАЭ he said.
