Olivia Holt Opens Up About Her Own Body Insecurity: 'It Really Messes With Your Head & Heart'

Olivia Holt is opening up about her own struggles with body insecurity.

In a recent interview with Stylecaster, the Cloak & Dagger actress got real about her muscular figure and how her insecurities grew after being told to lose or gain weight for different roles.

“I’ve struggled with figuring out exactly what my body type is and going back and forth between feeling too skinny or too thick or too this or too that,” Olivia shared. “Being a gymnast, I had a lot of issues with feeling too broad in my shoulders or too thick in my thighs.”

“It’s heartbreaking that we have to feel this way, especially as women in a world where we already feel put down by so many others.

Olivia adds that she has “been told by many producers, ‘You need to lose X amount of pounds if you’re going to be a part of this project’ or ‘You need to gain this amount of pounds if you want to be a part of this project.’”

“That really messes, not just your headspace, but your heart.”
