Hot English actress Thandie Newton, 35, has recently disclosed she battled bulimia for a year.
Well, Stevie Wonder could see that! I'm just saying.
The biracial star of "Mission Impossible", "Pursuit of Happyness", "Norbit" and "Crash" told People that her eating disorder started when she was a teen ballet dancer, and that she ate "nothing but cottage cheese" in order to stay thin.
Years later, after a string of emotionally abusive relationships, the married mother of two girls, Ripley, 6, and Nico, 2, had an eating disorder relapse.
Her bulimia was so severe that she has "scars on my knuckles from where I put my fingers down my throat."It wasn't until she went to a therapist years later that she "made the connection between shame and self abuse."
Thandie Newton (pronounced TAN-dee) was actually born in Zambia. Her name means "beloved" which, interestingly enough, was the name of the character she played in Oprah's 1998 movie"Beloved."
What I didn't know was that she was originally set to be in the film Charlie's Angels, but had to pull out (Lucy Liu replaced her).
Next time you have backyard barbecue, make sure you drop Newton an invitation. We've gotta fatten this sister up!
