Mischa Barton talks about being thin as a Hollywood actress.


She has been accused of having an eating disorder because of her super-skinny frame, but Mischa tells the press that she doesn’t necessarily want to be that thin. She goes on to state that Hollywood should cast women with more womanly curves.

“It's so wrong to try and stifle womanly curves, it shouldn't be promoted. This unhealthy look should be abandoned.”

Barton confesses that images of ultra skinny celebrities in magazines on the screen are damaging to the psyches of young women and can cause eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia.

But this comes after she said that her co-star on the OC, Rachel Bilson, had curves that she was scared of.

“I feel tall and lanky next to her, but I'd be scared of having her boobs and voluptuousness! I would never have a boob job. I like being understatedly sexy. Rachel's curves make her more overtly sexual than I am.”
