Keira Knightley

Constant media speculation regarding her weight put Keira on a low: “I knew I wasn’t anorexic. But maybe my body is somehow not right. Or my face is not right. Or the way I speak is not right.

Adam struggled with an acne problem in school which left him with low confidence: ”When I was in high school and I had acne, I spent a lot of time sulking in my room. I was depressed. I was not happy. High school is hard enough, but having this problem and knowing that everyone is looking at you in the hallways … and I went to a small school and clearly nobody has acne like I did.”
