The actress has told how on the set they analyzed and criticized her body as a girl if it did not adapt to the script.
Christina Ricci has it clear. The actress, whom many of us remember for her performance as Wednesday in ‘The Addams Family’ or who even starred in Casper, labels the entertainment industry as toxic. At least, regarding your body image When i was a child.
After all, she started shooting in the movies when she was just nine years old. An age where the mind tends to be volatile and gets carried away by what is said. Even, regarding what is thought of the body itself.
Imagine you were Ricci’s age when he started acting professionally, let’s face it, who would not have doubted his physique if you do not stop reading that you have gained weight or do not have a good figure. Anyone in the room? We assumed it.
And no, we are not talking about what you read on the covers of magazines. No. Recently, in an interview for Today Parents, Ricci recounted that “when i was younger, people would get together and look at you to see how to fix what didn’t fit with your physique. I didn’t enjoy those days when everyone talked about my shortcomings.”
Likewise, when he went through puberty And started to develop chesthe pointed out in his own interview how at the plate or in the wardrobe tests they tried to camouflage it “make me feel less feminine”.
The negative impact of industry on bodies
Now, at an age and after having suffered anorexia in adolescenceChristina reflects on that the priorities of a set or a shoot “should not take precedence over that of any individual”.
The negative part is that together with Ricci they accumulate dozens of names that, like her, developed disorders to adapt to the requests or criticisms they received every day.
Furthermore, as estimated and published by the Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders Association, nearly 46% of girls between 9 and 11 years old are on a diet and even worse between the 35% and 57% of adolescents He has continued and tested practices such as self-induced vomiting or taking laxatives to try to achieve that image, that stereotype, which currently occupies the covers.
