Celebrities... just like us!
They have family problems, money problems sometimes and even problems with their body image.
In the case of actor Megan Fox, it was the latter she discussed recently in a video during her photoshoot for the Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition.
Fox opened up about her struggles with body dysmorphia.
“I don’t ever see myself the way other people see me. There was never a point in my life where I loved my body―never, ever.”
She went further in the video that you can see here:

Fox continued with her message for others dealing with body dysmorphia.
"I want all people, not just women, to have respect for their bodies, and for themselves."
At first people were taken aback, because Fox is widely agreed upon to be one of the more beautiful celebrities around.

Others praised her for coming forward and sharing her insecurities.
\u201c@TODAYshow Megan Fox is an inspiration for so many of us. It takes courage to be honest about our insecurities and to embrace self-love. Thank you for sharing your story with us! \u2764\ufe0f #hundrx\u201d— TODAY (@TODAY) 1684249209
Many shared this was their struggle or pointed out Fox isn't alone in her feelings of body dysmorphia due to unrealistic beauty standards.

\u201c@USATODAY So, she is literally every single woman on the planet. Cool.\u201d— USA TODAY (@USA TODAY) 1684254026
Another person pointed out growing up young and beautiful in the public eye has its own unique pressures.
\u201c@raphousetv2 I'm not surprised\n\nGo into Hollywood at a young age and then shot up with botox\n\nAlready enough pressure on women to look good but that's a whole new level\u201d— Raphousetv (RHTV) (@Raphousetv (RHTV)) 1684264870
There was an unfortunately large portion who missed the point and commented they loved Fox's body.
\u201c@raphousetv2 I love her body though\u201d— Raphousetv (RHTV) (@Raphousetv (RHTV)) 1684264870
Others joked about her 2009 cult horror movie Jennifer's Body.
\u201c@raphousetv2 She can just do a blood ritual and ask Satan for a new one, I'm sure she will be fine.\u201d— Raphousetv (RHTV) (@Raphousetv (RHTV)) 1684264870
\u201cThe discourse around Megan Fox talking about her body dysmorphia really shows that people have no idea what body dysmorphia really is. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone in their lives that struggle with it or eating disorders.\u201d— jade \ud83d\udc97\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc99 (@jade \ud83d\udc97\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc99) 1684272849
Fox joined Martha Stewart, Kim Petras and Brooks Nader as cover models for the 2023 Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Issue.
