Miley Cyrus Sends a Message About Body Image
We love the grounded message that Miley Cyrus is sending about the pressure to be stick-figure skinny in Hollywood. With millions of teen and tween fans, there are a lot of little ears picking up on her awesome attitude. We thought you’d like to hear it for yourself:
Glamour magazine: How do you feel about the pin-thin-body trend in young Hollywood?
Miley: “I think it’s lame, because it will eat at you forever. I’ve been at photo shoots where I’ve tried something on and said, ‘Oh my gosh, why don’t these fit?’ But I’ll never be a six-foot-tall, 95-pound model; I’m meant to have a little more meat on my bones. One thing that bugs me is people who say, ‘Miley really needs to lose some weight,’ or, ‘She got her boobs done.’ I did start out really skinny, but you’re not going to have boobs when you’re 12 years old. I’m like, what are you talking about-let me grow!”
Wise words at only 16!
We’ve also seen Miley staying fit by running with her boyfriend Justin Gaston and bike riding!
