Kate Bosworth: I didn’t have an eating disorder, it was just a hard time

Kate Bosworth has denied that she had an eating disorder when her weight dropped significantly in 2006.

The Superman Returns actress said recently: “I went through a really tough time about a year and a half ago.”

“It was made into this whole eating disorder thing, but it had nothing to do with it. I was just going through some serious emotional problems.”

As well as the end of her long-term relationship with Orlando Bloom, the actress added: “People don’t know, but we found out a family member had a terminal illness and he just passed away, so it was like all these things were colliding.”

“That’s just how emotional stress affects my body.”

But even though she’s regained some of the weight now she says she feels the opposite pressure to most people in Hollywood: “I have pressure to be a size bigger. I feel like I get s**t all the time for being too small.”
