FemaleFirst reported that the star of Ugly Betty considers the other actresses as thin, while she is the one with curves.
She stated, "There’s just way too much attention placed on the way we look. I think it’s hilarious when people call Jessica Alba or Eva Longoria curvy. Come on – they’re not curvy. I’m curvy! I’ve been really lucky. Playing Betty has prepared me to be exactly who I am and not to change.What is normal now? Is it normal to be size zero? Starving yourself is not beautiful."
Ferrera admitted that she is sometimes intimidated by her appearance, but playing Betty helps her overcome this insecurity.
