Not just women

March 14, 2006 by Renee @ 09:35 AM

Dennis QuaidIn Best Life magazine, Hollywood hunk Dennis Quaid revealed that during the mid '90s he suffered from anorexia. At the time he lost 40lbs for the role of Wyatt Earp in Doc Holiday.






"My arms were so skinny that I couldn't pull myself out of a pool," Quaid admits, describing what he suffered from as "manorexia." "I wasn't bulimic, but I could understand what people go through with that."

He also appears to have suffered from distorted body image.

"I'd look in the mirror and still see a 180-lb. guy, even though I was 138 pounds," he says.

He tells the magazine:

"For many years, I was obsessed about what I was eating, how many calories it had, and how much exercise I'd have to do."

I've always heard in passing that a percentage of men also suffer from eating disorders. To this day, my mother swears Brad Pitt has anorexia. After seeing Ocean's 12 she couldn't stop commenting on how gaunt he looked. I can't really see that stuff, not to say it's a relief that men suffer from this crap too, but maybe if it proven that it hits both sexes, treatment won't be casually dismissed as a "woman" thing.

As for Dennis, today he is still trim but with one difference, he is fit. I'll forgive him for Jaws 3-D wink
