We've all heard about the terrible obsession with celebrities and some women starving and over exercising to become a size zero. Fine if you are naturally thin, but there are a lot who are deliberately depriving themselves or forcing exercise because they think it's attractive or fashionable.
But what about, which happens mainly to men when they starve themselves for a movie role? I saw a program on this recently and it made me think.
I watched the film the Machinist a while ago and I wondered what was wrong with the poor actor, was he anorexic or a cancer sufferer? The poor guy looked so ill and skeletal. I was absolutely SHOCKED to find out that the actor was Christian Bale!!! The gorgeous and talented actor actually starved himself and did god knows what harm to his body for this role.

So what is worse. Someone doing it for fashion or someone doing it for a movie role?
