Are They Underweight or Just Naturally Thin?

There is no doubt that Hollywood puts a ton of pressure on celebrities, particularly female celebrities, to stay thin. But recently there seems to be a number of stars who are rail thin. Eating disorders among some in the Hollywood circles is nothing new, but it became a public affair in 2004 when it was announced that Mary Kate Olsen was being treated for anorexia. Since that time there has been wide speculation that several A-list celebs have been battling similar conditions. Many state that they’re naturally thin, do you believe these girls are naturally this thin?

 

At five-foot-six, Desperate Housewivesstar Terri Hatcher reportedly only weighs about 105 pounds. There have been numerous claims made that she is battling an eating disorder but Terri maintains that she watches what she eats and stays fit by practicing the new exercise craze – the strip tease.

 

When she appeared in the 2002 flick Blue Crush newcomer Kate Bosworth looked trim, athletic and healthy. Since that time the 23-year-old actress has slimmed down and at five-foot-five reportedly weighs a little over 100 pounds. Kate says that she’s always been thin and put on 15 pounds for her role in Blue Crush.

 

Waif-like star of Grey's Anatomy, Ellen Pompeo,  is five-foot-seven but admits to weighing just 100 pounds. The star has stated that she has actually tried to put a little extra meat on her lean frame by consuming plenty of calorie-heavy foods, including butter. She works out to maintain some body shape.

 

In January 2006, after months of speculation, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham confessed that she had suffered from anorexia. Her battle was outlined in her autobiography Learning to Fly. Victoria blamed former Spice Girl member Geri Halliwell for turning her on to liquid meal supplements.

 

Super slim star of Pirates of the Caribbean, Keira Knightly, has long battled rumors that she suffers from an eating disorder. At five-foot-seven Keira is believed to weigh only about 100 pounds but the actress brushes off criticism about her size. She reports that she doesn’t work out and fills up on lots of fruits and vegetables.
