Christina Ricci's teenage battle with anorexia stopped her enjoying her fame.
The 'Black Snake Moan' star felt pressured to conform to the Hollywood ideal of perfection and admits the struggle made her unhappy.
Christina, 27, said: "I was a teenager going through adolescence and at one point I had a little anorexia phase and then I kind of ballooned. I feel my body now is the adult Christina and it's what I should have come to a long time ago if I hadn't been screwing around with my body so much.

"I was too busy thinking about my skin or my weight or the clothes I was wearing instead of just enjoying it and saying, 'I can't believe I get to be here. This is awesome and I'm going to experience it.' "
The actress admits she is vain, but she has learned not to obsess about her looks.
