Celebrities and Body Image

There is a surprisingly a great number of celebrities that have incredible views on body images. This shows girls that they are perfect the way they are and gives Hollywood a better look when they have so many celebrities with such outlooks.

Jennifer Lawrence is known for her open opinions about the unrealistic body standard and the body images that women have. She has been noted in refusing to loss weight for movie roles. Also, She wants to give girls someone to look up to so she fought to be in The Hunger Games to set a more realistic body image for the character.




 


Rebel Wilson is by far my favorite celebrity and in my mind, one of the best role models. She is obviously not a size 2 and she is not mad about it, but proud. She has such a good attitude about her weight and is not afraid to let you know. She has had many big movie parts and been hosts for different events. She was even rumored to be the next spokesperson for Weight Watchers but she quickly made it known to be just a rumor. Rebel even stated, "When it comes to body image, I don't care what I look like that much, and I think women out there should just be happy with the way they look. They shouldn't really try to conform to any kind of stereotype. Just be happy and hopefully healthy."





Even Miley Cyprus knows how the media and the beauty standard. She has even said that "I'm either boring or I'm a slut." This was due to when she dress in a covered outfit and there were comments everywhere, saying she was boring. And of course, we've all seen the comments or at least known of them when she wears almost nothing. She as seen a lot of critiques about her body image, her changing look and her lifestyle. This makes her no different from anyone else.






Women like this are people we should be looking up to. Women need to know they are sexy no matter what the media says or what the society sees as beautiful. You are beautiful the way you are.

  1. While I do agree that having Rebel Wilson in the spotlight does help female viewers who struggle with their weight, I have a problem with how they put her in the spotlight. In Pitch Perfect, the name of her character was Fat Amy. When she hosted an award show on MTV, almost all of her jokes were about her weight. Rebel really is a hilarious woman. I feel like that should be shown more instead of such a focus on her being a fat actress.
